Thread: Help Needed on Lathe
22/08/2018 11:32:49

All,

Thank you for your input.

I just placed an order for a Warco Super Mini Lathe.

Haha...you think I didn't know what would happen! But I have been polite...i know people can't help themselves.

I really do appreciate that you are all trying to save me from myself and are steering me towards a safe place.

I am a classic evaluator! I gather as much information as possible on all the options before making a decision.

I already have researched the forums, review sites, YouTube, Google etc. But I could find no information on this particular machine.

Hence the request to only post if you have direct experience because I knew there would be 100's of opinions out there about its perceived quality and reliability without any direct knowledge of it!

I have made no decision to buy one of these but would strongly consider it based on its price point if it had good reviews.

Likewise a WM180 and a SIEG SC3 are also on my list.

Thanks for all your spirited contributions thus far...

Please, please please...only post if you have this machine. I was hoping for first hand experience.

Alan,

Possibly.

I assume you have ignored my request to post only if you have experience of this machine,

I want to hear from someone that has used / owned one!

John,

It's not that I don't appreciate your view.

I have been researching all lathe types within my budget and as usual my budget gets stretched and stretched.

I could not find any reviews on this particular lathe hence the question. I want to fill a gap in my knowledge base!

Others will soon be asking he same questiin as these lathes keep cropping up at a certain price point on eBay.

Hence my request for experience using this particular machine.

Because I don't know anyone there with one!

Again...experience only please...not opinion. I am an adult and know the risks having lived and worked in China for 3 years running manufacturing companies

21/08/2018 19:46:48

Experience only please. I understand the sourcing risk / issues.

The reason I ask is they come up a lot, seem GVFM but cannot find any reviews.

Hi, does anyone gave experience of this lathe on eBay
