But , but , where's the challenge in that ?

Yeah, it's much more fun hanging 250-300# of crap on the side of the
mill and seeing if it tips over on each pass, and seeing how many
times it blows the circuit breakers as it hits on the power cord when
it does tip.

Carry on.

Did you miss the insert smiley or other whimsical indicator of humor here
??

Of course not, and I even included that line. I was carrying on the
whimsical notion you started, Terry.


From the feedback I've received , I've decided to find another use for
that motor/controller . I'll find another way to power feed the mill .
Many thanks for the responses I got , even the humorless ones .

Jeeze, the one time I didn't think I needed to add a smiley...
