Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 2 reviews.

Well luckily the delivery driver did me a favour and reversed his lorry down my sloping driveway. He made me aware that they are not furnished with electric palette trucks as before as were used when I got a mill and bandsaw delivered from you. It appears that the company is not as good as previously used and I’m sure most people would prefer to pay an extra few pounds for you to cover the cost of using a delivery company with insurances and equipment to guarantee very expensive equipment is not left on the road with no way of moving it. My postman doesn’t , nor do Amazon., !!when specifying free delivery you expect it to be delivered not dumped in the road! Which I think will happen to purchases very soon judging by what my driver said..however having said all that the equipment is fantastic. Been disassembling it , to lighten it ready for moving and lifting. May need a bit of input from your tech dept. So only the delivery was a worry. Thanks for a GREAT MACINE!

WM250V Lathe inverter drive variable speed (With DRO)

First the good stuff. The WM250 lathe with DRO was on back order at a discount so made it worth waiting for the DRO version as the price difference was minimal. I built my own stand so didn't order the Warco one. On arrival the delivery guy was extremely helpful and got the pallet as far as he could. The label said the total weight was 220Kg so bear this in mind. I used an engine hoist to move it round. Once installed the lathe is great! Compared to my previous lathe it is so nice to do a cut and It does it! However before use the lathe does need cleaning up - I used WD40 and lots of paper towels and a little paraffin. Everything is so oily! The email from Warco asking for views hasn't given me much time as I'm still getting used to it so might have more good things to say in the future but here are the not so good things: The instructions/manual is a bit thin! You can't even find what size bolts to use to bolt it down! There's a screw poking out from under the toolpost and I still can't figure what it does! The saddle clamp is inaccessible at times and the gib screws on the top slide need a cut down hex tool because the dro sensor is in the way! The most annoying bit was that the drip tray needs a packing sheet under it (why??) if you mount it on a bench . Fortunately I realised before I lifted the lathe up! The backlash on the controls was more than I expected but I can cope with that. Slightly worrying was a noise from the saddle which comes and goes. Overall however I am pleased with it. I may upgrade to the QCTP at some stage but would prefer the wedge design rather than the piston design that Warco sell. The 4 way toolpost doesn't sensibly fit 4 tools! Finally, in lieu of a decent manual there is much more helpful information on the WM250 on the Model Engineering website - just Google away!
