Thread: Looking to buy a Warco Mill

Really only you can answer the question of whether your old WM18 was big enough to do what you want and fit in the shed or not and then size the new machine larger or smaller as needed.

The WM18 was in a bigger shed, I have moved since then

Starting to think I will have to set my sights lower, possibly a WM14 or 16

Just looking at the Warco website I think the WM14 will be too small so the WM16 is now looking favorite

Looking back I see you already have a WM18 so these other mills being suggested don't really offer any more capacity to what you already have? Could be time for a bigger shed or smaller cars.

Long story but I had to sell the WM18 due to financial circumstances.

In the hope that this 6’ x 6’ does not yet exist … May I suggest a big concrete slab

Do things in the right order:

  1. prepare the slab
  2. position the mill
  3. build the shed around it

That is, of course, a very brief ‘project summary’ … the devil will be in the detail.

Its on a concrete slab

.

So … take note of Jason’s comment, and proceed accordingly.

MichaelG.

Yes, I will need to

Does you budget include for tooling? could easily be 1000-1500 though some can be built up over time.

No

Current equivalent is VM32LV - R8 taper.

Looks very similar to the Warco WM18

Dave I am intending to put my Amadeal bench mounted mlll up for sale this year. It has had little use since purchase, is in fine condition and comes with a lot of kit.

It's buyer collect only (Suffolk) but if you are interested send me a PM and I'll forward full details.

Tug

Which model is it

29/04/2023 13:53:38

The WM18 is also an option

29/04/2023 12:12:10

A 6x6ft shed

29/04/2023 11:43:16

After something heavy duty to make car and motor bike parts. Not models

My budget is up to about £3500.

I could probably get a used Bridgeport but dont have the sapce.

So any reccomodations

Thread: Sltting saw, what to buy
29/04/2017 10:10:18

I spoke to Chronos re the 22mm arbour and they said they are finding it difficults to sourse one.

So I either go for 1" or like Ian suggested buy a blank arbour and make my own 22mm one

I dont suppose anyone had a drawing of one?

29/04/2017 08:12:53

Ah right makes sence. Your link to Chronos for the 1" R8 arbour with CSK Fixing, however they dont seem to do the same with a 22mm arbour. Neither do ARC, and suggestion as to where else I may find this?

28/04/2017 23:40:03

 

Arc do 22mm R8 arbours but the biggest saw is 80mm.

If I want to go to 4" as Jason suggested then I will need to go to 1" bore - **LINK**   It it as important metric vs imperial?

So which is the best type of arbout, the one above or this one - **LINK**

The Chronos one the saw is near the end however the Arc one looks like the locking nut will give a tighter fit?

28/04/2017 15:00:06
