best carpet mill plans/blueprints?

the hard part is just getting it to roll freely and finding good rollers

 

Has anyone made any progress? Any pics, or videos to share even if not finished?

Does anyone have any experience with Revolution Carpet Mills? Has anyone owned one or built one?

Thanks.

 

yes i bought the plans for my bullterrier and i have it all built already..BUT...the one problem i am having is the rollers spinning freely..the design is good but very easy to screw up when fabricating hard wood round for inside of 3'' pvc rollers. trying to alter design to come up with better solution..have a pic but just signed up due to post and not sure how to post as of yet.

 

to update my post from earlier i found a solution to the roller problem..i took a good bearing that was 1.5 outer diameter and like a .665 inner diameter and found1.5 pvc tube (same length as the the previous 3'' tube) bearing fit perfectly a little snug. (the snugger the better) reassembled and carpet was really fast now..simple fix just had to really think about it first..i took all the specs that came on the revolution plans and altered them to my liking, so i can find replacement parts and carpet with out having to cut down rollers or carpet .. total cost with screw up s and all i might be about $200..i bought like 10 different bearing that were expensive but able to return them so with out screw ups should be able to build for $160 all said and down..hope i am of some help..i wish i could have found his post before would have helped alot..revolution plans well worth it..just i piece of advise support the top two beams that go acrossed differently then a 45 degree angle in the corners..my bullterrier is a muscular 90 lbs and he shakes those cross beams

 

Can you post a Pic?

as you can see i dont have a pit.... close enough(cousins)..hope the pics help..as u can also see i made it a little wider and change the support for the top cross beams and roller sizefrom a 3" to 1.5"

 

Looks really good, I have to say, good job.

iv heard of people using fishing line and sewing the carpet together it wont catch too much from what i saw or i was thinking you could use that iron on repair material over the top of the stitching to make it catch even less you finished the mill yet?

 

remember boys and girls, you get what you pay for.
$11.95 for carpet mill plans..... That thing is so simple you can think it out yourself with a bit of effort.

Carpet mills aren't rocket engineering.

I like big rollers on mine 6inches or so.... I use PVC pipe, stuff cheap hard plastic trolly wheels with ball bearing in them, Axel.... threaded rod, lock nut the trolly wheels in position. and you are ready to go.

 

i made one last year i only used mine for tightening my bitch up after a litter they bang muscle n tone up very quick indeed plus a lot quiter then a slat mill lmao

 

If you can find a carpet layer around your parts, they could easily seam the carpet ends together . It's a simple job , it will probably run you $20. They usually glue the ends and hot iron it.
