Re: Home shop power for a big machine - Thanks for the input

Jim,
I wasn't looking at a specific machine but in general a Tree VMC.
There are several coming up for auction in the southeast over the next
couple of months and I was trying to decide if/how much to bid on one.
The Tree's are older, not longer made (or supported) and I understood
haven't been selling real high.

I think this thread pretty well investigated what It would take to run
a larger VMC in a home shop environment. There are other issues, such
as the air requirements for a Fadal like machine, that we didn't
address but still need to be considered. For me, right now, the
negatives out weigh the positives.

details about the mill (location, make, model, travels, spindle
speeds, spindle taper, etc.) someone else on the list may be able to
use this machine.
