1) Tree model 2UV upright metal milling machine with digital read out 480
volts.
2) Tree model 2VG upright metal milling machine with digital read out 480
volts.
The guy wants $2000 each, negotiable. I am not familiar with Tree at all
(not that I amm familiar with a BP either, really), but they have the DROs
already, which is nice. I may try to go see them this weekend and take
pics. I think I could either swap motors out or maybe get a VFD to output
480 3ph or use a VFD for 240V 3Ph then a stepup tranny maybe?
