Ok. Hope to remember to ad words after each photo, next time.
I was so surprised to finally get some posted, I plumm forgot to add words.
First photo is just a general view of what I have going.
Second view is the up/down sawhead winch. It's a worm drive, so it's also a holding brake, sort of. On our other mill, I could saw a slab, raise up and gig back, then, drop down a tad below the next cut area and bump back up to the next correct size board. On a cantilevered sawhead, at least on our's, as you run the head down, the unsupported side would hang down below level. When we bump up, it gets level and holds at wherever you want. I could do that as quick as any WM we ever saw running. Never saw an electronic WM running. The winch will be powered by a Johnson outboard motor starter motor. I rework the brushes so I can power forward/reverse and run a 4 solenoid relay to handle the amps required.
Third photo shows the Alloy Moto wheels I am using. Ebay at roughly $30.00 a pop includes a decent tire, so, price is good. I have to import LOTS of stuff here, because the country is 50 years behind, except for those damn cell phones that grow to peoples hands.
Fourth photo shows one of the 2 log stops. Right now, hand cranked up/down, until the next crate shows up with the 12-24V reversible motor that will run the stops. I have a 24V hydraulic pump that will eventually be installed for log stops and part of the clamp and feed system, and maybe, I log loader. Will see how the wife gets along loading logs on the mill.
The fifth photo is a little tricky to make out. It shows the angle iron tracks welded top and bottom of the I beam, and the wheels that ride on top. I have metal straps and bearing that run under the beam and hold the carriage from falling over. That's the toughest part about building a cantilever sawhead system. Also you can see the crank handle for the log stops.
Sixth photo shows the carriage trolley in all it's terribly welded features. The log bunks will be adjustable as you can see them sitting on top of adjustment bolts. This whole thing is built from recycled metal, so, you have to do what you can with what you have.
I will take better photos and add text as I post them, hopefully.
