Super Mini Lathe (IMPERIAL)

Warco Super Mini Lathe

Now with upgraded specification

The Mini Lathe has long been a popular part of the Warco range, always representing top value for money and an excellent introduction to metal turning. The compact size means it's ideal for bench mounting in places like a home workshop.

Continuing with our long standing commitment to affordable hobby lathes, we're proud to have this small metalworker as a part of our range. With a number of improvements from the previous model, we now source this machine from the same supplier as our larger lathes, giving a real edge on quality and offering features usually associated with professional level machines.

Buying a hobby lathe

The New Warco Super Mini Lathe is available in metric or imperial. Both versions will now cut both metric and imperial threads with the appropriate change gears included - no additional cost or conversion kit required. (The difference between the metric and imperial machines are the leadscrews.)

We've been selling machinery just like this for over four decades now, so you're in safe hands with Warco. It was Warco who invented the term Mini Lathe, and have demanded big improvements seen on today's machine, like metal gears throughout, hardened / ground bed ways, always specifying the best quality chucks, very reliable US made electronics and the large range of standard equipment included for no extra charge.

As with all of our lathes for sale, the Warco Super Mini is supplied with a 12 month warranty for peace of mind. We invest heavily in spare parts, meaning we have a hugely comprehensive range of spare parts available should you need them, as well as a wide selection of Mini Lathe tools. Every conceivable spare part you could ever need is available from our inventory right here in the UK.
