    Tree Journeyman 250 or 325

    Looking for some experienced input from members. Looking at breaking into CNC milling with a Journeyman 250 or 325. Needs to fit into a garage shop with 8' ceiling and through a 82" garage door. Looks like the 325 comes in at 79" and the 250 around 84". Have seen some interesting 250 offerings but the height is a real issue for installation. It appears the head is bolted on and could be removed...although a rigging and reinstall concern all to itself.

    Anyone have experience getting a 250 through the heigth restrictions? Removal of the top cover provide a lower than 82" height for the shove under the door?

    Any thoughts or concerns would be appeaciated as to any leads to a usable machine.

    After looking at the Tree website..looks like the 250 is 78" tall....doesn't seem to be agreement among sellers and manufacturer...anyone have a physical measurement?

    The Tree Journeyman 250 measures 80 inches from floor to highest point, which is the pulley belt lid. The lid is easily removed. Once removed your looking at approx. 77 inches from floor to highest point.

    Hope this helps.

    Got a Tree Journeyman 325 circa 1991...Height with the quill cover on is 81-1/2" setting base on the floor. With the quill cover removed and quill lowered (manually turn Z ballscrew with allen key in bottom of head) 76" is obtainable. My machine is missing the top cover so I don't know what the spindle motor cover might add to that equation but otherwise the spindle motor pulley is below the quill parts when lowered.

    Now...if anyone has a Dynapath Delta 20 user manual somewhere, I could put this thing to use...seller indicated "manuals" but they were duplicate copies of the Tree installation and maintenance manuals. There was enough to fire up, reference and jog the machine (with a little reading between the lines...Tree aparently didn't have a strong manual writter if the install manual is any indication).
