I really admire your engineering skills. I think I'll just continue to push my 27 down the tract. My brother and I usually work together when we mill but I've also milled a lot alone. When working together the sawyer can keep the helper just a hopping. Together we can mill almost 3 times as fast/much than working alone. Must be nice to be so mechanically enabled. Great video and very informative.
Hey Jim, thanks for the kind words. I have the same experience with helpers. It does make a big difference. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate it.
I got a good idea for you, on your limit switch, when going in reverse in full speed, instead of having the issue with a solid stop. Consider having a piece of square tubing or angle iron, that the limit switch roller can roll across the top of the angle iron or what ever…So that when the carriage comes back, the limit switch would be triggered, but yet the wheel on the switch could ride up over the angle, iron or square tubing. Say a piece about 16” long….? This would help eliminate the problem of the coasting affect and crashing…. By this method….the mill would have room and time to come to a complete stop without damaging the stop mechanism. Hope this makes sense!
I'll have to go watch the build playlist...but in the mean time, what are you using for a 24v power supply..?? Two 12v batteries in series maybe..? I forgot to add that this is an awesome video. If I do this to mine, I'll give you the credit for the inspiration. Great job on a great video!!
@@tractorman4461 I have one 12 volt battery and have a 12 to 24 volt transformer to step up the voltage. I have the proper gauge wire for the amperage needed. The only thing that doesn't run in 24 volts is my throttle. That runs on 12 volts. Thanks for watching and for the comment. These frontiers are very friendly to modify.
@@BigelowWoodcraft I wasn't aware of a DC transformer to boost 12 to 24. Hmmm....I'll have to investigate a bit. I already have an Invacare 4 wheel buggy that's got two of those motors including the controller for the driver. I had the chance to just haul it off and this has been in the back of my mind. Thanks for the input Jerry.
I have not asked if Dr Johnson's would be interested in an interview yet. I'll definitely keep you all updated and some behind the scenes preparations and post op progress. Thank you for the kind words about the video.

And, great video!
thank you sir.

Morning Jerry , very nice set up in the power feed . 👍🏻
Thank you Del. It's truly appreciated my friend. It was a fun build.
Thank you a ton. You are the man.
You're welcome.

Hey I see what you are saying. I have thought about some way of a soft stop but never thought about what you just suggested. I like it. Thanks
Awesome, thanks for the videos…
And, forgot to mention, you could use the magnet s to easily move it wherever you want to! Like you were before.

@tractorman4461 the transformer I'm using is bolted right near the crank handle I used to use. That will give you a good look at it.
@@BigelowWoodcraft Excellent !! Thank you.
I watched all the build videos. This was a great follow up Ty.
Have you asked about knee video with the dr ?

@@BigelowWoodcraft ok. Maybe you can get a shot of the tools they use
@@terryatpi is love to have the entire surgery filmed. I doubt that will happen but it can't hurt to ask lol
