Warco WM180 leadscrew handle part 2

Just finishing off this little improvement

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Hi Ade! Just want to thank You for Your valuable tips. The proper video might be one of the Shedtalks but I don't have time nor energy to search for it. However i remembered one lesson You gave, how to verify the setup of the geartrain before threading. Attach an indicator and turn the chuck one revolution having the half nut locked, That showed me a thread of 1,20 mm but I wanted a 1.00 mm thread, The fault was applying a 35 tooth wheel instead of a 30 tooth wheel. Some of the Warco Wheels are not marked at all. "The big boys" make a testcut that always shows the correct setup, working like us or having a fascionable gearbox. A big hug, Ade! If You had been a lady, Blondihacks or so, I would have sent You a kiss.

Awesome work. I appreciate you sharing you experience. Thank you

That is a very cool idea for that machine - use of a dial indicator would allow some pretty precise Z-axis movement. Nice that it can remain on the machine even when you use power feed.

That's brilliant , always enjoy watching your videos. Can't wait for the next one!

Hi Ade... Hopefully my lathe will turn up today... Similar to yours! I'm going to make a bread bin today, so I can store stuff in it... As a novice I have a lot to learn, your vids have helped quite a lot... thanks... Frank... Bristol, ish!

Good luck with the new lathe Frank. Cheers Ade.

@@ade63dug ... I also bought a set of carbide insert cutters, however, I have no idea what cutter to use and for what task each cutter was designed to do... Have you done a vid on cutter selection, and why? Oh and what's your local pub? Me and the wife may venture out that way at some point! I'll buy you a pint of water, with a dash of hops in it!... Frank...

Nice job inspired me to make one for my Chinese mini lathe as the lead screw set up is similar

love this one....

[@pauljohnson3401]

Thanks again for your excellent videos. Can you tell your subscribers a little bit about your training. Where did you do your apprenticeship etc.

[@appynoon]

learning a lot here. Would love to see how to mark up the wheel with graduations and numbers ;)

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

That looks super useful Ade TFS. Do you get your WD40 in the spray bottle or do you put it in there? Not a great fan of aerosol. G :)

Can't the carriage be moved with the standard crank?
