guzzisti57 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Delivered tuesday, I now have a bit of a bad back from getting it on the bench .... works well though and I'm happy with it The plan is to machine headstocks for frames that I'm going to weld up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazrs257 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Very nice. I have a Warco mini lathe, not the same capacity as yours, but has managed most parts I've needed to make. Good buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzisti57 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've been using a minilathe up to now, excellent bit of kit but the new one has a bit more power\ If you look in the first pic the mini lathe is the grey and white thing to the right of the green Warco, that shows the difference in scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark/Foggy Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Grrrrr, you are officially off my Xmas card list Warco are next door to a client of mine down Chiddingfold way. Even if I've got absolutely no pennies anywhere, I just can't bring myself to go in for a look. I know what'll end up happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzisti57 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Nice. Is that a milling machine to its left aswell? It is, but only a little one, too small really for bike related work next on the list: bigger mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Obviously this is a lot down to the user but what sort of accuracy/repeatability are you able to get with that? Im looking to suggest a similar sized lathe for a mate, cos hes got even less idea than i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking to suggest a similar sized lathe for a mate, cos hes got even less idea than i do It's 99% down to the user dude, most chinese rebranded lathes are good enough for the amateur if set up right in the first place but you get what you pay for. Set up right you'll get acceptable accuracy and repeatability if you know what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
