I am in the process of building a mini mill that i can drag up in the hill and mill some smaller stuff.
I am going to build a carriage that slides and uses a mechanism to raise and lower the saw.
First pass at this is to mount the saw using the bar bolts. I tracked down some M8 Coupler nuts.
(which was harder than I thought to source locally considering that Canada is supposed to be metric )
These screw right on to the Stihl studs, I put a wide washer under them. These then mount to a plate which in turn fasten to the hardware that will raise and lower the saw.
What I am wondering is about the stress on these bolts in a milling situation. These two couplers are basically supporting the saw.
From what I can determine this seems to be the way that Logosol attaches their saws to the carriage in the M7 mill.
Thoughts and considerations would be appreciated!
