Hi

 

I was wondering if the quick release clamps fit on the new style brackets for the Alaskan mill? I would hate to go back to the old nuts and bolts system after working with the wonderful quick release setup.

They don't quite work I'm afraid - however we think we may have a work around on the new end brackets which is pretty quick and easy.

 

I've been using on a small log mill and seems to work pretty well but still need to test on an Alaskan.

 

 

Only added the vid to facebook - but effectively to loosen you flip the black clamping handle, then use the finger nut to loosen the other side.

 

Downside? Well the Granberg ones are empirial and we need metric so we are sourcing some metric U bolts.

If we can source the bits and vibration doesn't cause the clamping handles to fall to pieces over time this should not be too expensive.

Bummer.. I really like the quick release because it don't use a nut to tighten with. I find that the nuts jam up with resin and gum from the wood and become impossible to loosen.

Yep well a bit of copper slip anti seize grease will sort that on the U bolt threads.

 

 

Here is a better video on the new quick release system.
