Fantastic craftsmanship, once again. It looks beautiful in it's raw state. I am enjoying your progress very much!

Wow, great work! No wonder you didn't buy my mill when you have the skills to do that by hand. Being able to tig weld (which I can't) really opens up some possibilities for assembly. Are you going to build something to go with it?

I wanted to buy your mill for sure but I thought it would have been sold until I saw it on used vic. Unfortunately for me I was away when you posted it there...

I already have my R18 to haul the dirt away so I have that covered but even "my better half" was asking me what was next just last night. I'm not sure though, I may build another fish boat... or an 850 KW logging truck... I probably should build something that makes money not costs it though.

So I have a problem... I visited the local hobby shop today (over an hour away)with the intension of buying a BEC. I explained my situation with the sabertooth and was told my new 12v lead acid 5ah battery probably wasn't able to take the load so I was talked into connecting a 6v battery directly onto the +- wires for each servo leaving only the white wires attached to the reciever instead of running a BEC. When I do this and operate my boom(screwdrive) the bucket servos do not react properly in fact they just viberate in one spot until I stop moving the boom and then they go flying into position. If I plug the servos in as normal and plug the battery into the batt/bind slot everything works fine but I was advised against this because they thought the current draw from 4 high torque servos may melt my reciever. Any thoughts? I think I should have stuck with plan A. Using a seperate battery does solve the reset problem but I honestly think if I ran a BEC it would too. I feel that if my 12v battery wasn't up to snuff the screwdrive would slow down when the other stuff stops working but it doesn't miss a beat. I don't really have the space to run a second battery without fitment issues. What do you guys think? Do you think I am drawing too much power for a BEC to help?

Sorry for all the questions but I think you guys are more in tune with this than the local shop.

Thanks Reg

I need this thing to work properly for next weekend!
