Thread: warco vs lathe
13/08/2009 17:52:15
Go to:
 
and follow the trail to the Grizzly 4000 lathe manual.  Its only 2.63Mb pdf file.  If it looks like your friend's lathe - Robert is your mother's brother!

Thanks to all those of you who have replied, both here and by email.  Your thoughts and advice have made me even more determined to place an order.  Can't wait to start  cutting metal!
 
Best wishes

Niloch,
 
Thanks for the input.  I have visited the Myford web site, more out of curiosity that expectation, but I'm afraid their prices are way beyond my meagre means.  I've had enough trouble getting the Warco purchase past the treasurer!
 
Perhaps I should have said at the outset that I have limited funds available!

I am new to model engineering, though not entirely new to metalwork, having built a trials car and a kit car from the ground up in my youth.  Now retired, I want to get into model making (not steam) and have just about decided to purchase a new Warco 918 lathe and accessories.  Before I go ahead and pay the extra to have it delivered to me here in France, does anybody own one and if so, how do you find it?
I toyed with buying a secondhand Myford ML7, but haven't had any luck on eBay, always being beaten to the final bid or being out-bid!  Should I persevere?
 
Thanks,
John

There is a pdf file which I think may give you some of the information you require.  I can't see how to attach the file but you'll find it at:
 
 
It's only 450Kb, but contains details of the gears, no. of teeth, etc.
 
Regards,
 
John
