New lathe and mill

[Mick Aggy]

I have Been looking to get a half decent lathe and milling machine for quite a while , usual problem “too far away or more than I want to spend , too big too small ect “
This came up locally with a good selection of all sorts with it so I thought sod it stop being tight and spend some money .just got to remember how to use it school and college was a real long time ago

True, I used mine this morning to make a new doorstop midway through preparing dinner as I noticed that the kitchen door was hitting the corner of the worktop when fully open.

I have a Warco WM250v lathe and a WM16 mill. Very happy with them.
Warco are very good when you need parts as well.

My first lathe was a Boxford CUD ex school ,it was ok but very well used , sold that and regretted it so bought a Myford super 7 will the bolt on mill bits , Not really what I wanted so,sold that and regretted,
I have been after a little Warco for a while they get very good reviews for the price

I very nearly bought a Warco mill that was for sale locally this time last year, should have bought it really but I'm sort of hanging back because my garage is in need of a clear out and I'm planning on building a new workshop extension to it next year.

I was looking at that same one, when your set up could you give us a bit of a review?

Very nice. I’m fortunate to have access to all kinds of lathes and mills at work so don’t have the need for one at home.
I can recommend RDG Tools though for inexpensive but decent machine shop tackle. I used to use them for supplies for a small bench lathe and mill in my previous job. Very reasonable prices.
