Thread: WM250 Sticky Carriage

29/06/2020 09:11:12

Many thanks for your suggestions; the carriage lock is fully undone and the hand wheel is not binding. I was hoping for a quick fix, though it seems to be not the case; I thought I would try the forum before contacting Warco. I've had the lathe for a couple of weeks, but only placed it into position in the last few days, it's now cleaned, oiled up and ready to go. I cannot understand why I received one before Bo'sun though! Thanks once again for your help.

Whoops . . Neighbour not Bo'sun.

I have a new Warco 250V Lathe and when manually winding the carriage along the bed there are three to four areas where it becomes 'stiff' and difficult to wind by hand. Can anyone recommend a solution to this please.

Try doing 'one and a half cuts.' Do an extra cut to the left of the first one and alternate between the two as you cut deeper. This ensures a small gap between the tool and material and allows for the slight heat expansion of material and cutter.
