Milling With Garage Door Opener
 ✖  |
Ken Hall, Purdy, Mo.: "The hand crank to raise and lower the head on my milling machine was difficult to move and to reach, so I replaced it with a garage door opener which I bought at a surplus store for $10. I welded a 1-in., no. 40 chain sprocket to the opener and a 4-in. sprocket to the mill. The opener is reversible and is operated by a 2-way switch. Now the head moves easily both up and down."
