Homemade log clamp for the LT30

I have not seen many good log clamps on these old manual mills so I made my own.
This clamp could be turned into a turner like is on the newer mills by adding a linear actuator to the manual clamp height adjustment something I will be doing in a later video.
Any questions on material I used or anything just ask.

That base is from an older Wood mizer mill? My friend has one with the manual clamp. Only one and it is a monster. You dont want to drop the clamp on your hand. It is put forward or backward in the holes and height is adjustable using the Steps on the base and the cutouts in the holes. I like your rig. His is all manual. I think his is from the 1980s. Nice job.

Yes you’re correct that’s the way this one was for years until I was running my circle mill. Watching the carriage feed then I had a idea. To build this with a 90$ harbor freight winch. Working on a chain turner now will post videos of it when I get it done.
