- Fork Creek Mill - Timberking 1400 Vertical Log Stop part 2 of 2
This video consists of the installation for the vertical log stops that are on the Timberking 2000 mils onto a Timberking 1400 mill. I altered the height of the log stops so that the bunk did not have to be raised so much. The bunk ended up at 31 inches above grade with 15 inches of log stop above the bunk. The power lines off of the battery still need breaker protection for shorts and should be installed. When times allow I intend to change out the 16 tooth drive sprocket from the winch to a ten tooth to make the stops a little quicker.
This is not a how to video and is for entertainment only as it just shows what I am doing with my mill. Remember you are responsible for your own safety. All rotating equipment should have proper guards at all times. Band saws, power tools and tractors are inherently dangerous and can be extremely dangerous if not operated properly. YOU, the operator, are responsible for the safe operation of the band saw and tractor. You must carefully read and follow any warnings, safety signs and instructions provided with or located on the band saw or tractor. Do not remove, defeat, deface, or render inoperable any of the safety devices or warnings on the band saw, power tools or tractor. All guidelines for proper setup and use provided by the saw blade manufacturer, power tool manufacturer and band saw manufacturer should be followed. Caution should be taken when using power equipment or tools and all recommended safety precautions from the tool or equipment manufacture should be utilized. It is important to inspect all tools and equipment before each use for condition and that all safety equipment is functioning. Thanks
Great video! Some awesome ingenuity. I’m building a mill right now so I’m very intrigued by the automated features you’ve added to yours
Thanks for sharing good ideas
Thinking of making some bigger stops for my 1220 sawmill. Could I get some deminsions of the plate and rectangular channel which supports the sprokets. Just got some 1"x1.5", 1.5"x1.5" and 1.5"x2" bar. Guess the plate is 6"x14" and rectangular tube is 5 x 2". Thank you for the idea!
I have a fourth log stop on the bench, I will take some measurements and post them here. I could make a quick video if you want.
Main Plate 1/4" x 7" x 14"
Outboard Guide Bar 1.5" x 1.5" x 12" A 5/8" hole in top of bar for pivot bolt
Inboard Guide Bar 1" x 1.5" x 9"
Guide Bar Cover Plate 1/4" x 3.75" x 7.75"
Bent Channel for sprockets 3.75" wide x 7.75" x 1.75" Two 3/4" holes for bolts holding 20 tooth spockets 50H chain
@@davidpape9726 I thought your video said 10 tooth sproket. Or is the 10 tooth attached to the rouind bar attached to all the log stops.
Hi David. Thanks for the video looks like you are like me and try to make things better or easier without paying an arm and leg. I'm just wondering if you have used the power log roller; power the log clamp; and the power log stops sense you have done the video and if you are happy with your design and if you had to alter anything to to have it work after using for a bit. Let me know please i'm in the process of doing a very similar modification to a woodland mill. Thanks George May
I was satified with the power log turner but unfortuntely I had to change the design since it interfered with the drive rod for the vertical log stops. The drive rod ran right through the area where the large sprocket was located. I am in the process of installing a new design for the log turner. I got side tracked building steps on my bass boat trailer to get up on the front deck for launching and loading. The power log clamped has worked well and is especially helpful in pulling out and turning cants. The sprocket on the cross chain between the rails could use a little more engagement so that pushing a log over is easier. I plan on lowering the chain attachment on the oerator side and install an idlet sprocket under the log dog so that the chanin engages ninety degrees of the sprocket to prevent slippage. I absolutely love the vertical power log stops although I should have saved some money and just built them for in essence they are just half of the log dogs.
David is it possible to build those log stop housing. And back stop arms ...without going thur timberking....
Most definitely, they are realatively simple and just the front half of the log dog. Timberking design using the flat plate over the dog bar and a channel to hold the two sprockets is better than the flat bar welded together than I did on my log dog. You certianly do not need to build them as big as the ones I got. A 1" x 1 1/2" or 2" riser bar would be big enough.
