I have a 2017 model.250V......it has the three studs...which I intend shortening to the length of the nut and washer, which should make accessiblity a little easier....I’m considering using a flanged nut so as to eliminate the washer...

Would flanged nuts be better...no fiddling with washers?

No sign of any mags with Warco 250v info...😟🛶

Thanks everyone...but it was magazine back issues with articles relating to the lathe I was looking for..

Cheers John

Thanks guys...much appreciated..👍

Has anyone used their WM 250 for wood turning small items?

I was wondering if a suitable toot rest could be used...

I’d remove the tail stock and dismantle it...the casting on mine was full of black casting sand....I used a small wire brush in a drill to remove it all ...I then etch primed and painted the rough surface..

ive just bought a Warco 250v and I’ve been looking at sets of indexable tools to use with it.. I’ve been looking on EBay and it’s a bit of a minefied with so many to choose from..can anyone suggest where to start? Also are the inserts interchangeable or does each tool require a certain one?..Also.. am I looking for tools with a 12mm shank?
