As i am needing a few things done and researching more on these generic mill's i thought about doing a few upgrades.

instead of getting the pulley replaced might go 3 phase with vfd and single belt with matching spindle pulley. That should bypass the column.i have seen a few other guys do the same and saves me changing belts.

Most of the time tbh it will be used as a drill press and have capabilities of milling when needed to save on space.

Thanks for the extra info some of which i have found and other's i have not.

Looking about i see 4 step pulleys around the £30-60 and could knock up a bracket with some plate so not as bad as i thought.

Will keep you all updated as it moves along.

Thanks everyone that replied

Thanks guys for the knowledge. I don't have the missing parts and i doubt the seller does as it's sold as is. Did i just waste £50 or you reckon it's still worth trying to get it fixed up if possible to find the parts.

Hi everyone

I have just got a decent looking warco economy mill for £50 but needs a few things.

1. no belts

2. height adjustment handle missing.

3. possibly might need other things fixing like bearings etc

Anyone know where or what type of belts and handle i would need.

Thanks
