The machine comes with a traacer attatchment as well as hydraulic table feed. I'm using it as a manual machine for now.

I would appreciate any...

I'll definitely be looking for the correct manuals and such.

It's a GOLK with a tree head and beam.
The machine was half buried when I used it last and couldn't see...

I'm running a 2.5/5hp lathe and am picking up a 1hp Tree knee mill in a few days. I don't plan on running both at the same time, although I understand that it can increase the capacity of the RCP...

thanx adobe, didn't mean to sound like a brat, but nothing after a month didn't make me feel like this was where I should be. Even just "I don't know" would have given a sense of welcome.

I'm just a motorhead fabricator that uses mills and lathes to get the job done.
I don't even call myself a machinist, nor do I have any experience with CNC.
I've learned everything I know about...

At this point, slow. More because I'm not totaly set up and traveling to borrow a friend's machine doesn't cut it when you factor in gas and drive time.
Electrician was over tonight, we have a good...

I'm getting a Tree tracer mill soon from a buddy of mine. I've used the machine as manual and was very impressed with how tight and smooth everything was (first time Tree user).
I'll try to get pics...
