Thread: Tool holders for Warco WM 180 Lathe

29/11/2015 23:29:33

Hi,

Im new to this forum, and having just got into the model engineering game through my recently started job, as a production engineer, I felt I should buy my own lathe for my home workshop, which has been gathering dust. While I understand the full size lathes, I am not at one with the mini lathe world.

I am looking to buy the Warco WM 180 Lathe, as I feel that it will suit my needs, is within budget, and know that it will fit my cosy 10ft x 12ft workshop, along with all the current benches. The tool holder and tool post that comes with the lathe looks to me to be unreliable, and coming from a job where the machines use quick change tool posts, having to use shims to raise tool centre height is less than ideal. I have seen that the A2Z CNC tool post is very popular, and would like to know if this would fit the lathe in question.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.
