Mill i built

This is a great resource to buy conveyer wheels if you opt not to use skate wheels.

I see that. I've had this site respond like this before when I tried to open it on my phone. Not sure if that matters or not? Anyway you can give them a call and order the 1 15/16" steel wheels with a 1/4" bore for 90 something cents apiece. Good luck!

Thanks again, I want to remove the steel wheels and replace them with inline wheels.

I gotcha. Well good luck with whichever you choose but this company also sales the same steel wheels that I mentioned above but it has a neoprene tire molded over it. Not sure if that's something your interested in but I figured I'd mention it.

It took forever to get a video made.

Turns really smooth. About 6 and half turns per hand pull. A lot better on the rebuild.

EWO, Mill looks well built and turns freely. Extra nice looking dog to boot. Always liked Black dogs and Red Smuts the most. My third choice was a Tiger Brindle or Tiger Red Brindle. Cheers

Looks nice, good Job. How many hours do you think you put in to it? I'm thinking of making my own as well.

Thousands. LOL.

I built it three times all together. I can make metal stick together but I won't call myself a welder. The first time I added too much heat and drew the frame on one end. I could not get the rollers to line up and it tracked one way with a lot of drag.

I took the mill apart, cut it in half and used braces/tack welds to keep it square while welding it together. A jig would be better but I do not build them for others, just to see if I could do it.

Third go around I switched to a thinner PVC belt and received some belt length calculations from a pro.

I work a young male on it every other day and the PVC is started to break in a little. It gets about 5-6 rotations with a hand pull. I may make a run at another but it will not be anytime soon as I have several projects in front of a new mill.

Lol I had a feeling you were going to say hundreds or thousands. Seems to be the hour range for people that have never made one, I'll be joining the club soon. What type of belt would recommended? Is there a specific formula for the belt length and number of slats?
