Hey folks, took advantage of some wet weather this week to build another CSM.
The origional worked ok but was a real pain to adjust quickly and accurately for different thickness's. Was a bit short too.
This is the old one and my basic introduction into milling.
The new one is scrounge built from some 304 stainless and mild steel tube i had lying around and a few other bits and pieces.
Heres a few pics.
Straight out of the shed and will be getting a coat of paint once I'm happy with the outcome.
Put your shades on..lol
I just love welding stainless
Chain drive handle for fine adjustments.
High speed adjustment via cordless drill atachment.
This really speeds up the adjustment and works better than i thought it would.
The two sprockets and chain are all that it owes me, a grand total of $15.00.
Simple no tools locking and all thread screw drive.
Getting ready for the trial run, timber is a local Messmate very recently felled from my driveway and about 12" in dia'.
