Slat Mill

Hi just wondered if any of you guys have a mill from the RP millmaker in the Philippines i have a standard mill from him and it has started to run very slow anyone else had this problem? I spoke to the builder and said spraying silicon grease onto the bearings will help but i have my reservations, anybody know how to give one a good service? That can give me some advice?

Cheers appreciated

I took the think apart and found that one of the corner wheels was very stiff gonna clean it up and go from there.

 

Yea check it out man take it apart slowly and see what you could replace. Just make sure it goes back together the same way! lol

 

another question .. what is a slat mill??? lol i need to get up to date on all this stuff i don't know

 

also. think about replacing the old bearings with newer skate bearings with a very high ABEC rating. the higher the abec rating the freeer and faster the bearing will turn. i think they go up to abec 12's these days....ask any skate boarder people you may know.....they can def. help with bearings...

 

Cheers, i cant get into the bearing on the wheels only the 2 corner wheels to be honest a bit disapointed with the quality of this mill its a good valuable piece of kit bit the videos show it to be very free turning i struggle to get 3 turns out of it and im a big strong lad if i can get into the bearings though and change to a better quality it may improve.

 

take a flat head screw driver and put it "inbetween" the bearings (theres two in each wheel) then just knock it out with a hammer once your angled in there just right....hope that makes sense....

 

Replace bearing with Abec 5 bearings for skate boards! should be the same size as a inline skate wheel(better spinnage!) maybe i needs 3 in 1 oil on the original bearing, but protect the wood from the grease tho?
:confused:

 

made in the phillipines lnfao

 

Sorry you lost me with this statement?

 

If you need bearings, or most any other hardware, check out McMaster-Carr ( http://www.mcmaster.com/# ).

They have a huge selection of sizes, styles, load ratings, etc.

 

PHILLIPINES is not a country to underestimate when it comes to quality on certain thangs
