Hi Ade Had the same issue with condensation in the shed. I made a box to cover the lathe and fitted a tube heater screwed to the underside of the lid. Works well. Keep up with the great videos.
I have a similar toolpost from RDG for my South Bend. I found that no matter how hard I tightened the centre nut, the toolpost would rotate under pressure, especially when using a 3mm parting tool (lots of pressure!) A bit of research got me to a technical drawing of the Bison 4414, which looks like the professional version of the RDG (Chinese?) version. Crucially, the Bison 4414 has an 8mm hole to one side (the version you modified has it on the corner) and the instructions indicate that once mounted and aligned you drill through and drop an 8mm pin through which will stop the toolpost rotating. When required (e.g. chamfering) you can pull the pin out to rotate... What I'm about to do is make a longer Tee nut, the same length as the width of the toolpost, then drill through into that Tee nut, that will give me the required rigidity. It looks like on the Warco you would need to drill into the slide? As a genuine query, could you not have made a plate with a hole to sit over the boss and just drop the toolpost on top? Would require the adjustment on the toolholders to drop, of course, but there appears to be lots of scope for that?
Shwmae Ade. A very merry Christmas to you and yours from Pembrokeshire. Love your channel. It's nice to see a professional at work. I took up engineering as a hobby a few years back and I now build Gauge 1 locomotives. Best wishes. Jeff
Gday Adrain, Merry Christmas to you and all your family, thank you for all the great content throughout the year, let’s hope that 2021 is a lot better then 2020, Cheers mate and enjoy the break from work, Matty
Merry Belated Christmas and Happy New Year, sorry I'm late to the game but trying to catch up with friends' work. Life has been crazy here. Good of you to mod that post for the fellow, I was interested as well to hear that it was case hardened of a sort rather than full hardened.
Wishing you very happy Christmas from Middlesex Ade, many thanks for your great posts throughout this difficult year. Stay safe and well, and let’s hope for better things to come.
One of the first jobs on my own 180 was to fit one of these nice little T37 tool-posts, I'm glad I invested in some carbide! I also found I had to turn a little spacer for the top nut to clear the cam locks, but it gave a good opportunity to get the handle pointed the right way! I still use the original block toolpost for knurling lools as it's a fairly quick job to swap them over if needed. Great video as usual ade, Merry christmas mate!
@@chasejdmartin First, the brushes went, I replaced those, the replacements went again very quickly, and seemed to take out the speed controller board, so I gutted it and now she has a proper 1HP 3ph motor and decent VFD (RS510). don't bother with cheap chinese VFDs, I went through a couple of those too before I Learned my lesson! But I now have no worries whatsoever about having enough power! It happily takes 1mm depth cuts in steel without boggng (although i wouldn't want to push the machine itself any harder than that) It's made a fantastic difference to the machine and since It actually helps me earn my living, it was worth every penny to upgrade!
Even If you're not currently considering a motor swap, grab a bit of 1" ali and turn it to fit snug in the headstock tube and find a v-belt pulley to stick on it!, it'll get you out of a pickle if the motor does go! I had to hand-crank mine to cobble a temporary motor pulley, then using that make a proper one! not fun!
Thanks for the video Ade. Glad to have you back. I got my QCTP from Warco and they machined it to fit my lathe. Same as the Warco 280 Vf. Merry Charismas and a Happy New Year to you. Keep safe and stay well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Thank you very much for all your effort and time put in to make these video's it is very much appreciated. Barry, Australia
Hi Adrian . Another nice video, where even the Hex looks Good.... lol Overall job is going really well Have a Great Christmas Break & Tremendous New Year to come ,For You & Your Family be Safe, & we will all look forward for the New Year To Come
Hi Ade, nicely done, I am sure your sub will be happy with that. You have my sympathy, looks like you are battling the same moisture issues I have. Merry Christmas from Scotland mate, hope you have a good break. Cheers, Jon
Hi 👋 hope to see more often of your work projects, Untill my Lathe gets tooled up, running. Oh friend, ya you are dealing, yep case hardened. I'd be using lube. Your Lathe is talking to you. Oh boy it's really hard face rock hard face stuff. Take care now
Always the way isn't it Ade, you can Never have too many quick change tool holders can you? Lol Yes none of this happy holidays it's a Christian festival, let's keep it that way! As I'm watching this between Christmas and new year, I hope you and yours had as pleasant a Christmas as was possible under the lockdown circumstances, and wish you a Happy New Year when it comes and a better one by far than this miserable one!
I have one of these tool posts and whilst its quite nice you can adjust height it seems to be a nightmare to try to keep the height position unlike the piston or wedge style tool posts that use a screw that you can lock.
it was my tips for aluminium , the standard tips had no chance on my baby lathe . i guess the sharp angles helped . it was only the first 0.2mm maybe .the one edge did the lot Cheers Ade .
@@ade63dug Thanks Ade! Whow. I use my aluminium inserts in "kind" steel but they get clearly worned and would never guess they could cut case hardened steel.
Love the channel Ade great content and videos. Thinking about buying a Warco WM16B mill, however, I'm also struggling for space. Can you tell me what are the dimensions of the mill base only not including the handle, as I've got limited space, depth wise on my workbench?
440mmdeep by 285mm wide . this is the actual footprint . allow perhaps another 80mm from the rear to stop your knuckles hitting a wall at the rear when operating the Z axis hand wheel . Cheers Ade
Thank you very much for replying to my simple question Ade! I have posted the question twice now with no reply at all. I have been a loyal follower of your channel since the beginning, however if you cant be bothered to reply to simple questions from your followers maybe its time to unsubscribe.
My apologies Carl . I get so many comments and I must admit I do forget to reply sometimes if I have not got the answer to hand . Please repeat the question and I will get back to you . Cheers Ade
Great video Ade, like all the rest you do. The link to the RDG Tools site doesn't work though. Do they still sell this QCTP? I bought a different one from ArcEuroTrade but it's a bit small to machine out the registration boss on. Do you know if this one would fit? www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Machines-Accessories/Lathe-Accessories/Tool-Posts/Model-111-Quick-Change-Tool-Post Cheers Steve
Ades, have you given up to advertisers? Have been a subscriber for a long time, watched all your videos and enjoyed it. Thank you. But I will not watch ads, I will not watch videos that are interrupted by ads and I will not buy from companies that put intrusive ads on TH-cam. Your video was interrupted. Unsubscribed. Goodbye. And merry Christmas to you.

It was my first boring op on my 180 also!! And the washer!!
How has your motor been?? My first one burnt out. Also the brushes seem to wear quite quickly.
