Title: Got the mill home, Now for the mods.
Post by: sully on May 06, 2012, 01:33:05 PM
Got the 1600 home last night.  It has only 15 hrs on it, looks pretty much like new.  It does have everything Hyd but a log dog and toeboards.  I am for sure going to put the log dogs on but should I also put a hyd toe board on?  thanks  I will get pics hopefully this afternoon.

     Hydraulic toeboards are a big timesaver.  Backsaver, too.

Congrats on the new mill, sully.  Did you mean it doesn't have hydraulic backstops?

No the backstops are manual.  thanks

Thanks,  I finally figured the pic thing out.  I was saving for the 2000 but I found this one at a great price and it is probably all I need for now.  I have a stack of pine to practice on today before I start on walnut.  sully

And I thought a 1600 was small...yikes that thing is huge.
Good luck moving it around.
Nice mill by the way.
