    I saw that when I was researching to build my mill.
    I though it was cool before I knew what I know now. Lol

    It works for him since he is only milling small furniture stuff once in a while.

    looks like a waste of a golf cart. All he did was ghetto rig the drivetrain.(motor trans axle) onto a carriage.
    He bought and used a bunch of steel anyway.
    Other issues are fps or blade speed, tire size vs. Band durability, limited depth of cut etcetera etc.
