They are Great lathes with a bit of improvement . There are loads of sites to lead you on this . The geared wheel in the tool tin is the alternative gear for the thread dial indicator used for screw cutting . Speed changes look a bit tedious on this model that does not have variable rpm like the WM18 but this may well have a better motor and better torque at low speeds . Enjoy it and thanks for Sharing . Cheers Ade.

Hi Ade, thanks for this comment. I have watched many of your videos and have found them very helpful and informative. Thank you for making the effort to film and edit them! I quite like the old school belt drive speed change because it's simple and there isn't much to go wrong. Speed changes may become a little tedious though you're right. All the best.

very nice. Ive got a warco WM180 and its a great little machine. but looking to get a bit bigger. Always need to go bigger! Looks like a good buy.

Thanks! Yea, I looked at the 180 but wanted something slightly bigger and without electronic speed control. I got fed up with my mini lathes electronic speed control breaking. Hopefully the 240B will treat me well.
