Very well done, Kevin. I like the throttle control and will study your video some more to see how that works. You could definitely do something commercially with your ideas as they are superior to most of the existing control systems on small bandmills. Thanks!

Nice job man! Very well thought out with the limit switches and throttle control! I have a 130max and thinking about building out an Arduino controller system for height adjustment. You're inspiring me to attempt a similar chain drive auto feed. Subscribed!

I’m copying your design. Thanks for the vid. How have the components help up? I’m concerned about that speed controller. Also- have you thought about using relays to auto raise the head momentarily and then auto return the sawhead? My electronics friend is thinkin of a remote control for this

Dude! That is awesome. I have been thinking of ways to do that to my mill. Now I know. Have you thought of making your end stop movable so if you are cutting shorter logs it doesn’t travel so far before shutting down?

Love the mods. I've done the laser and dro but now you got me thinking lol. Where did you purchase the chain? Have you had any issues with sawdust in the chain or gears? Keep up the great content. Cheers from Blissfield New Brunswick Canada
@kevinthemiller9003

Thank you very much. I bought the chain from a local fleet farm store. I put the drive chain and motor on this side of the mill just so I could watch it to make sure a piece of tree bark didn’t fall on the chain and get missed and I also wanted to keep the chain away from the saw dust exhaust side. No problems yet.

Maybe add an adjustable stop on the cut side. Something you could slide up and down the rail. For when you cut shorter material.
