I too have the WARCO WM280v-f and am very satisfied with it. I wanted to replace my very very worn out Myford super 7 ready for my retirement this year and spent nearly two years researching lathes. Then when I had practically decided on a gearhead lathe I went to the WARCO open day two years ago and spoke to the engineers running machines there and to a couple of other visitors who already had the 280. I also managed to get a 'hands on' in the display room for about half an hour on most of the machines. It made my mind up and I ordered one.

Delivery was excellent and I have not regretted buying it for one moment. Have ordered a Dixon QCP which WARCO bore out to fit the current toolpost so no faffing about trying to make something fit or modifying the lathe.

Recommendations are, before parting with the money get hands on with whichever machine you like so as to be sure you like the feel, size, power and 'handiness' of it.

Maybe a request to visit someone who has one could be made on here.

I am near Portsmouth if that helps.

Thread: plastic containers

The clear chinese takeway containers in different sizes are what I use. If the family doesn't have takeaway often enough they can be purchased at approx £9 for 50. Google 'Takeaway Containers'.
