Harrogate 2013

Rik

Those are the same model machines I bought at last years show, would appreciate you keeping us updated,& if I can help with any advice, or vice versa drop me a pm. So far I have fitted X & Y DRO's to the mill, substituted the supplied lathe toolpost with a Dickson type '00' QCTP as I already had it from previous combo machine (had to modify the compund slide & made new post ), a '0' size would fit as well, you can see the DRO set up in my photos. Like yourself I would have gone for the 280 & the WM18 mill but budgetry & space constraints said otherwise.

Hello Rick and George,

I'm also in the process of buying a WM-250V-F lathe and a WM-16 milling machine after the fire in my workshop that destroied an Emco Compact8 and a Optimum BF20 milling machine (apart from many other things).

I also would appreciate any information you both keeping us updated and promise I will also share any information on those machines.

Best regards

The skeleton rower was Harrogate 2010. Have got a couple of pictures of it, but am having trouble uploading the first one. As and when it works I'll post them.

Looks as though the loading of the pictures has worked.

Hello Dias - Sure happy to exchange info on these machines. So that this thread does not become to bloated it maybe an idea to start another thread/s regarding these particular machines. May I suggest that any future thread titles start with "WARCO" blah blah so you, George and I - and others of course can home in on them easier. (I nearly said "touch base" but I can't stand yuppy speak). Rik

I can go with that suggestion..

George

Rik,

Yes. It's a good suggestion and I also can go with it. Also as you say I believe it's a good idea to give the thread a special name so the people interested in Warco lathes and milling machines similar to ours may feel invited to participate in the thread. So for the lack of a better name I suggest Warco WM-250V-F&WM-16 as the name to the thread to be created.

Hi, well here is one I photographed at Harrogate in 2007.

Regards Nick.

You would think they would have put on a bit of weight in six years!
