HOLZMANN 400 PART1

Unpacking and checking out a new import lathe. The band "Holzmann" is Austrian, but I suspect the lathe is manufactured in China. Dealing with some issues. Check out: Kanciapa Staszka, he has a similar Polish lathe. See also: Scrap OverEngineering • Small lathe overhaul ... and : • Holzmann Drehmaschine ...

[@jaapdekker5983]

[@jaapdekker5983]

Dag Jaap. Ik heb zowat dezelfde draaibank maar ander merk . Weet je toevallig waar de v riempjes te koop zijn ? Bij mij lag één riempje er verdraaid op zodat het al snel helemaal gerafeld is. Met wat moeite het riempje er terug correct opgelegd maar ik denk niet dat deze het nog lang uithoud. Op internet nog niets gevonden ivm met vervangriempjes .

Looks like they used a tooth belt and turned it inside out and the pulleys looks like they are V-shaped pulleys for a V-shaped belt.

Thanks for the vid... I'm thinking of getting one.

Very interesting and helpful - thank you! Neverthelesss one issue: tripods for phones are not expensive. So do your viewers a favor and buy one. Holding the phone with one hand and do anything else with the other hand looks akward and makes the picture shaky all the time. Ok, updated: In the latter episodes of the Holzmann story I saw in fact you own a tripod. I can agree sometimes it's necessary to come closer to things and take the camera in the hand. We all don't get younger (me too) and our hands are not as calm as in earlier years. So I would recommend to use a gimbal for this kind of scenes. Simple gimbals also are not expensive theses days and they do the job. I think many viewers would benefit from this.

[@jaapdekker5983]

Thank you for your reaction

Hi :) Thank you very much for the wonderful video you have made. Thanks for sharing. I would like to build an automatic cross feed for it, why? Its just because I have never seen a mini lathe has a mekanikal automatik cross feed. It could be a nice project. I just hope that my know how is enough for making it. Anyways thank you again. Keep the video's coming. I am shore you will have many interested people

[@MarkSmeeds]

Jaap, als je nu een draaibank zou kopen, zou het dan weer deze zijn ? Momenteel staat er op de site "maintenance free motor" ik neem aan dat ze bedoelen zonder koolborstels ?

[@LuisAlberto-nu8iv]

Dear your lathe is a chinese machine, only brand name Holzmann but poor quality very poor

[@fastmurx]

Good vid, stupid background musik.

[@ankempme]

Hello, I have the same lathe with you. I try to remove the three jaw chuck and i cannot do it. Can you explain with more detail. Thank you.

[@jibreel73]

You have to take off the three bolts and then gently knock on the chuck with rubber hammer until it goes out Be careful to not drop the chuck because it's a bit heavy so hold it while knocking on it

[@MilanDupal]

You are right, your lathe is a China made, same as my identical Quantum one. They both do have just different colors following the reseller color scheme and some nonimportant details. Enjou your machine!

[@jaapdekker5983]

thanx man

[@petergamston1]

These lathes are sold all over the world with various badges and colours. It is a Weiss WM180 made in Nanjing - see www.weiss.com.cn/products_detail/productId=210.html . Here in UK you can buy them badged either as the Warco WM180 (painted green) www.warco.co.uk/metal-lathes-metalworking-lathe-machine/15-wm-180-variable-speed-lathe.html at £840 including delivery or as the Chester DB7 (painted cream and grey) shop.chesterhobbystore.com/products/db7vs-lathe at £769 plus delivery. The two suppliers quote some small differences in spec (EG 600 v 700 watt motors) but look closely at the labelling on the headstock (or indeed anything else of significance) and you will see they are identical to the OEM Weiss. Here in UK the price includes 20% Value Added Tax (VAT). It would be interesting to compare their prices around the world. I can't find a home market price on-line - but next time I'm in China I'll try to find out. Also need to check what's included - for example both UK suppliers include a 4 jaw chuck - seems like Holzmann didn't. Good value anyway I think - I went with the Warco so as to colour co-ordinate with my mill and pillar drill in rest-full green.

[@ronbianca9722]

Hi Jaap! Were you able to do threading with the lathe as it came from the factory? Stay healthy my friend!

[@jaapdekker5983]

@threading: I don't know, I did not try it.

[@blaablaaa8080]

The belts are supposed to have the rubber on the inside. now they look broken with all that fibres coming out

[@jaapdekker5983]

yes I think so too, there's something strange about it

[@charosenz]

Thank you very much. Very informative.

[@jaapdekker5983]

Yes

[@xenoglossyglossolalia8631]

Good sir, can you tell me the turning tool shank diameter that can be monted on that tool holder?

[@petergamston1]

10 mm

[@mikethk]

Is it good? I need it for mini proffesional use. Just to smaller jobs.

[@jaapdekker5983]

I would say it is o.k. for the price. You don't allways need the best of the best. It is all about tolerances, it all depends on how precise you need to work. If you need more precision, I would check it first like I did.

[@petergamston1]

For a really comprehensive coverage of this lathe check out 'ADES WORKSHOP' - he uses his for mini professional jobs . (Badged as a Warco but its the same Weiss made in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China).

[@jerzykepinski]

Thanks for this review man!

[@bjrnclausen978]

Is the motor brushless or brushed?

[@jaapdekker5983]

I don't know

[@bjrnclausen978]

@@jaapdekker5983 Tanks for your presentation. I think the Holzmann 400 looks nice and the chuck is larger than fx. the sieg sc3. I am just trying to find out witch one to buy. With gears it is likely a brushed motor. If it on the other hand is brushless - then the pricing of this model i very good.
