Yup, this. Use the overhead structure to "store" your beam so you don't have to lift it into place each time. Put a flag on the hook with instructions about where the uprights are stored and how to install them.
moonlight, good to see your progress.
A few years ago, I had a biopsy which (spoiler alert) showed no cancer. The process however was quite the ride. It was an ultrasound-guided affair, through a locally-convenient orifice, that was guided by an computer overlay of previously-gathered imagery...
I traded away my 1D OEM X-drive in favor of an aftermarket one. Mid-move at the moment, but it'll be installed once the mill is "home". More flexibility, fine-tuning of speeds, etc. We'll find out if it was a good choice.
When I bought my first helmet, the sales guy was trying to steer me towards a less-expensive, lower-protection model. I remarked, "Thanks, but there's no budget limit on my head."
So far it's been a lousy investment, as I haven't "used" it at all since I bought it.
I own one of these very trailers -- a 10'/12' version. Felling is a quite good trailer mfg.
Recently bought a Demco two-axle car trailer (like U-Haul/Penske rents out) so I'm not sure I'll need the Felling after move.
When I grow up I'd like the drop-deck style -- flat to the ground.
Socket is good. Also consider an optoisolator going forward.
I deal with USB-R232 a lot, and usually use adapters with the FTDI chipset. They work well, and often include status LEDs like your tester. I believe drivers are available for older Win versions as well.
I started late in life, and mostly ride out in the country where there is less traffic. No commuting, but occasional runs to the 'hardware store'. Deer are still a concern.
'89 Honda Pacific Coast. Pearl white, and when I picked it up it had under 10k on it. (Over that now, of course.) I...
Any mention of flow control in that manual? FTDI chip cable are pretty good at meeting standards. Is your adapter equipped with the 'flashy LED' option to indicate some status and data flow activity?
For one-off's colbalt has been fine, even hand-held. Not sure I'd try something that deep by hand, but the mill should do well. Doing a few, or a lot?
The hardware-store Grade 8 I've machined in one way or another didn't prove to be uniform 'density' internally. Seemed case-hardened to some...
I've got a pre-Badlands HF as well, mounted on a receiver-hitch mount. Quick-disconnect electric under the hood, and an extension for use 'out back'. Though I've never used it to get my own truck un-stuck, I've used it for some significant tree work, and recovering a tractor that got stuck going...
Just looking to give up as little square footage to lift storage as I can. Can't be outside, due to varmints. There are 12' lifts available locally that are power lift/manual move (Big Joe style), but I'm not sure it could be successfully grafted to the Namco. Namco is half the footprint, though.
Tagging on to this necrothread: Anyone have a 12' mast Namco lift? I have a line on a shorter one, but need the 12' height. Before I begin a parts search, I'm wondering how much lift capacity diminishes with the height. If it only will lift half capacity at full extension, it may not be worth...
My usual go-to for stuff like that is Mason Industries or Peabody Noise Control.
On edit: Peabody is now Kinetics Noise Control. Their online catalog is no match for their former paper catalog... You may need to make an actual inquiry. These are available up to 4000 lbs, so a combination of...
Made it through last winter (in the same geographic area as moonlight) by using mothballs under the hood of the RV -- and other exterior places. Didn't put them inside, but you can smell them inside until you air things out a little. I'll do again this winter, as the barn isn't big enough for...
Tasks like this often boild down to "what do you have handy" to do it. So in addition to the many good solutions so far...
If you happen to have some marine heat-shrink (the kind with adhesive in it), you can install one sleeve a little long, shrink then fold over the end and put on another...
