Slatmills?

Yea I like the platinum look too! And the looks of that hound! Lol

 

I like that Platinum / Stainless look Can we get a close up pic of the wheel rail ?

 

Close to Being finished...going to do the side rails tomorrow and some touch up paint. The belt took the longest of all!!! About 5 hours So it went from 10 hours total to 15

 

But believe it or not the damn thing works!

 

That's a great looking mill bud. Good work !

Did you get to make a blueprint of it ? Would like to have one.

 

No i didnt but there isnt that much to it....I would change a few things on the next one i build but all and all it wasnt that bad. Im supposed to put one together for someone so it should be better than this one. Thank for the post Nash.

 

you have done a great job TB. ..and like you said it will get better and better in every build. good luck to you.

what is the total dimensions (length/width) on the running surface?

 

The slats are 13.5 inches wide and the length is 60 inches...the belt all together was 13 feet long before put on the mill and has 83 slats

 

does the lenth of the belt (+/- 1 ft or 2 ft) affect the way the belt rolls?

 

Good shit top box! Looks damn near pro! Like I say, I'm gonna be hitting you up for advice when I get my build off the ground! Looks good bro!

 

Well anytime u add weight you add friction which can cause it to slow down alittle

 

I thought that with the momentum of the belt that it would take alittle more to get it up to speed but once there it will spin alittle easier so i built a longer belt. I noticed that when the bitch was on it for the first time last night that when she went to stop she had to slow it down slowly so i guess it worked. Believe it or not but if you take 6 inches out of the belt it will not fit on the mill....looks long ass hell but just over 6 inches from the top of the mill.

 

Looks good TB.

 

thanks for the answer, looks good.

 

What was the total cost of materials?

 

looks OK but it looks like there is allot of space between the slats

 

Could you post up a small clip of the dog/mill in action if you get the time?

 

He probably put a space in between so the dogs paws didn't get pinched.

 

Thats why i did that GI Joe...its hard to work a bulldog with a lame foot or a couple cracked nails....pinched pads...shit like that...the slats are 1/2 inch apart. Ill post a video of a dog on it when i get the sides finished... waiting on the material.

 

I have right at 500 into it
