Title: timberpro beams?
Post by: Bruce_A on May 24, 2009, 05:15:53 PM
Sometime in the past 10 years or so ago, I picked up four sections of what I believe is a Timberpro beam for the saw to run on.   A baby mobile dimension???  I had a wild dream apparently when I bought them, but can no longer remember what it was.  I do not want to sell them, but if someone else thinks they can use them, I am open for a trade of some sort.  I do not NEED anything.  This is just for fun and getting to know someone that has wild ideas also.  The thieves have been hitting me often enough the last few years, that i believe it is only a matter of time before someone sees them and makes off with them.  I am 65 mile north of Portland, Or. just off I-5.

Bruce,

I'm curious what they look like, too... I've got an Mobile Dimension, so I know well how that works... got any pics?

Sorry people, They are Timberchamp beam sections, not timberpro.  I went out and kicked the grass down and made sure they were still there.  They are 10.5 inches square, 8 feet long, solid sheet, not lattice like most saw beams I have seen.  There are four sections and unless they are storage boxes, I don't have any legs or rails.  The same type  mill as the Mobile Dimension and the Mighty Mite, only they cut smaller lumber.  I don't have any pictures.

Bruce,

You got me interested.

I am looking at making a new rail system for my bandmill. It runs on top of angle iron, so I am looking at mounting it on a solid structure and increasing the cutting length from 14' to 20'.

I am about 65 miles north of Seattle.


Hmmmm....

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  If you have ever looked at a mobile dimension mill, you can see how these were designed to work.  If you are coming south sometime  call me at 360-520-0310 and we can arrange for you to look at them.

The beam in the first picture is what I have right down to the color.  Four sections,  about 8 foot long for each section.
