I'm on it today but you can't leave us hanging with the adjustable feed motor. Great video please keep them coming.

Brilliant Ade, no idea why i didn't think of that, i will definitely be making myself one of those! Cheers, Alan.

I was thinking Ade needs to change the carbide tip. It sounds like it's scouring the material off. Later on I realised it was the sound component added by your new leadscrew feed motor :).

Great video’s Ade. Just got a WM180 delivered today, looking forward to making some improvements with help from your channel. Keep up the good work 👍

How does the warco 180 compare to the lathe from " my little machine shop .com ?

[@infoanorexic]

I'll be keeping an eye out for your take on the feed drive. I've been thinking on the same thing for the Old Warrior. Like most machines of it's era, the lowest feed rate I can get through the gear box is 0.006 in/rev (0.1524 mm). A rapid for the longer moves also appeals to me. That big carriage gets heavier every year.

Hi Ade, great idea mate thx, been thinking of this myself but yours is much better idea so I'm gonna nick it mate sorry lol. Can you lend me some knowledge on setting the gear train on the lathe fella? Yours sounds much quieter than mine tbh and even though I been in industry for 30years+ I've never owned my own machinery. How do you get rid of the rattles etc after re-assembly? Thanks buddy

[@EverettsWorkshop]

I would like to do something better for my lock as well. On the someday list. Yours turned out well, good clearance to the DRO.
