here is a simple rail CS mill that I built for a customer that is designed to mount on the side of a log cabin to cut the gable ends flush. It could also be used to mill logs. It was made using the following:
1-stick of unistrut
2-6301 bearings
1-6" peice of 2"x2"x1/8" angle iron
2-12mm bolts
1-5/16" bolt
1-5/16" nut
3-5/16" washers
The bolts where cut to length and then swelled using a ball peen hamer to lock them into the bearings. Do not weld the bolts to the angle iron or it will bind on the rail if there is the slightest imperfection in it. You could put 2 bolts on the top to mount the bar but I wanted to be able to tip the saw if needed so I only used one. This is a really simple design that is ment to be used hanging on the wall and could be used with logs. I hope you guys enjoy.
