Thread: Warco GH 18, bench top gear head mill fetteling

Hi Ive really enjoyed reading about all the work you have done to your GH18. Ive just brought one so im very interested in the topic.

Do you have any updates regarding how you fitted your dro scales? Epecially the one on the quill.

Ive got my eye on the sino SDS200 monitor.

All the electronic work you have done is amazing unfortunately im not very skilled in that area. However I would like to fit a potentiometer if I can work out how.

Thanks

There is something odd, which frankly I haven't looked into so don't understand it, in that the two largest gears, I think it's the two largest, are stamped with a different number compared to the others. Unfortunately, they are on the machine and this morning is the coldest yet this winter! Brrrrr....

Sam,

Have you got the so-called manual that goes with the lathe? If not, then I have a copy of the original pink handbook stored on my computer complete with their version of English! It's no big deal to email it to you if you wish. I've also got a copy that Nick Farr sent me: this version being done by Warco (I presume) and is in better English and printing. I'm sure Nick won't mind me saying this.

I've also got photos, drawings, info, about some of the bits & pieces of the lathe - unlike Nick, I haven't got an album, so if you want something, ask, and if I've done it, then it's yours for the price of an email.

Cheers,

Peter G. Shaw

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for your response.

When you swap over from turning to screw cutting I understand that you need a short tee nut and also a bush, would you mind giving me the sizes of these components? A picture of the setup in screw cutting mode would be really helpful.

Ive brought some off the shelf gears that I’m modifying to fit.

Hi everyone, I recently brought a new lathe a warco 220. Unfortunately it didn’t come with any change gears apart from a couple for the feed.

would anyone who owns one be willing to help me figure out if I’m missing any bits eg. Going from feed setup to screw cutting setup, is there any bushings etc I need to make up. If you could give me sizes etc of the parts I would be most grateful.

also with regards to the change gears would I be correct in believing they are module 1.5 with a 20 pitch.

I’m thinking I may buy some 1.5 spur gears and modify them to fit. Any suggestions?
