Building my mill...

I think K bought up the entire stock. I tried to order one to use on a handicap scooter...out of stock :

Pineywoods,...
Check some other dealers. I just looked and found them in stock.
Going to order another myself.

Here is another way thats cheap to do it....
The toggle switch will let it come to a stop when centered.

Looking at your build again and looking for ideas to replace the wheel chair controller I have. This post here by you, could this simple set up to work and control a wheel chair motor?

Kbeitz · May 04, 2016, 05:05:48 AM

Yes that will work. But you wont have any speed control unless you add a control board.

Kbeitz, Just want to say thank you for the information on the speed controller
your using on your sawmill and where to buy. I ordered one of them from a
distributer in Calif with a plastic cover. Paid a few more dollars but got it 3 days.

Kbeitz, are those standard PWM motor controllers you're talking about for the wheelchair motors?

They was made for R/C toys. I got around 200 hours on my mill using them with no problems.

fishfighter, that supplier shows sold out on the controller with cover but
same supplier
shows in stock on same one without cover. Small shipping fee but comes
from Calif.

got a link to the dealer in California for those controllers?

I'm tired of fighting to get a BIG log on my mill.
I started to build my log lifter today.
I need to make a trip to the junkyard for some 2" round stock.

Czech_Made · August 22, 2016, 07:32:58 AM

I have junkyard envy, none of it is possible in my county.

fishfighter · August 22, 2016, 02:12:26 PM

Keep us updated K. DanG, wish I had a junkyard near by. :(

Kbeitz · August 22, 2016, 06:23:19 PM

The junkyard is a big part of my life. I could not build half of the things
I do with out it. I picked up two things today. The first picture is a 1-5/8"
X 9 foot round shaft needed for the pivot point for the mill lift I'm building
and the second picture is a Press die shoe that I found that will be used
with my iron worker that I'm building...

Czech_Made · August 23, 2016, 07:44:43 AM

My county will not let me pick sliding door from the metal bin. I used sliding door glass for my shop windows, but in our landfill the only chance is you talk to the guy who is bringing it in and take it from him. Once it is dropped, county owns it.

But I was there when a man brought two waterlocked jet skis on a trailer for the scrap metal - next day I saw the trailer parked by county employee's house, haha.

But I found real solingen chef's knife in scrap metal and took it without asking

Holy cow, now you're building an iron worker? I'm so envious...

Hoping to build a power hammer here one of these days (after the sawmill and the shop with the wood from the sawmill)...

It would be about a 140 miles each way road trip, but I might take a trip to your junkyard! Maybe I could swing by and say hello. ;)

(Only half kidding..... )

Do you mind if I ask what you paid for that 1 5/8" shaft?

The shaft and the Press die shoe and a 12 volt electric garden tractor clutch
all for $20.00...

WOW! I'm making up a shopping list!!!

schmalts · September 06, 2016, 08:48:28 PM

Hey guys, I think these would be a great cheap way to control some hydraulics on a home built mill. Not many left, for $200
Ebay link removed by Admin, refer to forum rules.

Started building my mill roof yesterday. The front will be all open with no post.
I have some very heavy duty lengths of steel tubing that will be buried even
with the ground. I have lots of welding to do. Full spans around 30-32 feet
by 10 or 12 feet. Drawing of the weldment is from the side.

He don't build a cantilever mill, but he builds a cantilever building to put his mill in! This will be one of the more interesting threads to follow, I'm reckoning.
