Hi Mike, had the same trouble with my local B&Q, I reckon it is the way they store their timber.Either that or the way the wood is dried.

I've had a Warco WM250 for about 10 years and has done everything and more I have asked of it. Apart from fitting a VFD and motor I've had no real trouble with it.

Can I keep this thread going, because if it is the company I think it is myself and another person have a vested interest in it. Ie we are owed money.

Pm for you Geoff.

Dave, same you I think I've only screwcut on my lathe a small handfull of times in 10 years I normally use a tailstock die holder. I only needed to cut the 20TPI 1"dia thread to make a puller to remove the clutch hub on my 57 Triumph Thunderbird.

John,I know exactly what you mean about not having enough hands! I am thinking about making a new shorter banjo when I have a bit of spare time.
Mark P.
23/09/2017 13:21:47
Thanks Jason, I thought I had set it up correctly, I think I may have a longer banjo fitted! I suppose I could machine a bit off the top of my banjo.
Regards Mark P.

Jason, I have the 50T on the right hand side ie next to the headstock with the 45T on the left, the 30T is in contact with the 50T the 45T gear is in contact with the 85T leadscrew gear have a gap of 4.5-5mm between the 30T and the spindle gear!
Mark P.

It appears like that in my photo but the 30T is being driven by the 50T gear with the 45T in front of it. Not much a photographer.

Thank you chaps, job done. This is what I get when I set up as per the charts http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/albums/member_photo.asp?a=43809&p=766181 the banjo contacts the head stock spindle.
