Hey Guys,
Just joined the forum today and I am looking for information on a mill I just picked up. I will start out by saying I am not a machinist, just have a little experience from college 10 years ago on manual machines and a summer internship running parts on a HAAS VF2SS. So I picked up a 1995 Tree Journeyman 250 about a month ago on a farm auction, $300 with a Kurt 6" vice so I think I did alright on it. That said, I powered it up on my phase converter at home, dynapath delta 20 controller came on and then I shut it off and didn't touch it for a month. I fired up my phase converter this month and the mill didn't turn on? I know it has an aftermarket power switch (photo below) but I wasn't sure if I was missing a key in the back as well (I cannot remember if it had one or not, but I know my 2 year old likes to steal keys.) Regardless, I would like to hear thoughts on what my issue might be, as well as just more information in general as I don't have any resources outside of the controller and machine manual that came with. I'd love to find a way to make simple parts using this machine and fusion 360 or inventor hsm (I'm told I need something called a drip feeder on the RS32 port) The more info the better
