Leather? The replacements I’ve seen on eBay for other Tree models were all rubber. The cap is recessed into the boss and no way to get a grip on it to pry it out.

Hi all,
I’m needing to replace the Quill seal on my J250. ZPS doesn’t have any in stock so I was planning on designing and 3D printing a replacement. I’m attempting to remove it now so I can glean...

My issue is resolved. In case anyone cares — this control didn’t like an L (dwell value) of 3.xx decimal places. I shortened it to Lx.x and no more error.

Hi all,
I’m fairly new to CNC programming and am having an issue. I’m attempting to code a simple G84 tapping cycle and keep getting a format error on the control.

I have a Tree Journeyman CNC...

Email sent. Thanks

I'm trying to run down an MTB 20 alarm (lube pressure switch) on my Tree J-250. I had this before and it seemed to go away after I reset the K10 relay. I'm thinking my pressure switch is bad and...

Very nice work jknee2 and fahrphrompuken! I love to see the old iron brought back to its former glory. Last year I picked up a tree j-250 with the Dynapath 40m control. These trees are built like an...

Update: I was able to resolve my issue with the Y axis. The mill had sat unused for several months before firing it up this time. I cycled the lube pump multiple times and jogged the axis back and...

I have a J-250 mill which has developed rough movement in the y axis. I’m getting vibration and rough movement while jogging at medium speed. Occasional, it throws a y axis servo error. I first...

Mine does that as well. I think it’s a bad seal around the bottom of the quill.

My J 250 manual indicates "Vogel Doser 10" lube oil metering units with a total of 15 installed. I'm pretty sure I have some partially if not fully plugged as I have a couple on the saddle ways that...

Confirmed over the weekend that is indeed what it is. I blew some air through it to clear a clog and it immediately started dripping lube oil.

That’s what I was leaning towards but didn’t want to assume. I’m thinking you’re correct since the lubrication diagram made no mention of it.

I think this is my 3rd post in about as many days. I figure the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. So I have this mysterious tube line coming out from under the head near the spindle...

Boy you ain’t kidding! I had contacted devco to see about a manual for this pump or similar. He told me it’s obsolete and no manual available but he’d quote me a new one. Wouldn’t give me a manual...

Okay - my issue with the Vogel lube pump is resolved. I tracked down the controlling relay (KA-10), cleaned, reseated, and the pump kicked on at first power up. I cycled power a few times to build up...

Cycled the machine multiple times over an hour or so, still no joy with ladder 20 fault. I checked the wiring diagram and see the Vogel power comes through FU8 and then a relay, K10. Going to check...

I don't see any inline filter after the line leaving the pump. There are at least 3 junction blocks. The Machine manual shows a "Filter Pipe" inside of the manifold and a couple of the junction...

Okay, I'll keep at it. Here's a pic of the unit I have with the cover removed.

Thank you for responding Bob. This is going to sound nubish but where are the filters? I know next to nothing about the lube system. I do here it kick on once in a while. I also placed a mark on the...

Okay, I'm still shaking out this new to me 250. Occasionally I'm getting the following fault message. "MTB Fault Message Number 20". It doesn't stop the machine or anything but its quite annoying....

Found the source of the squeak / screech in the X axis. I removed the table shroud for cleaning and inspection and the noise is gone. It must have a non factory bend in it somewhere. TG it wasn’t the...

:) :) great idea!

It’s running yes, not sure how well yet as I’ve only done simple MDI commands. I bought this mill knowing it would need some TLC but the fact that it’s fault free to begin with...

Just purchased this mill and have no experience with Tree or Dynapath 40m control. I do have the manuals which are helpful and I’m kind of learning things as I go. I’ve found that when I jog the X...
