- A Small Warco WM180 Lathe - Part #5 - In The Workshop. Mounting the Warco Lathe on Foam Kneeling Pads in exactly the same was as I did with my Myford ML7R. This method works perfectly and the Lathe does not require any levelling whatsoever and it runs very quietly. Rearranging my Workshop to accommodate the new Lathe.

how you turn out so many high-quality videos is staggering... thank you.
It keeps me off the streets }:-))) Thanks for watching ......
Thank you for your time.
Your output is quite impressive.
You were actually my first TH-cam subscribe.
Thanks for the Sub {:-)))
@@keithappleton it was many years ago
What a wonderful series of videos! Great Job. Thank You for sharing your life with us.
Glad you like them {:-)))
Hi Keith, Warco lathes are really very good. I out grew my first one and have had the bigger one for a couple of years now. Yes they may need a bit of fettling to get them set up but once done, they are reliable and very accurate. I bet you'll find yourself using this one more that you at first thought.
I do like it for what I need it for.
Back after a bit of a break, nice vid.👍
One day - FFS - ! I was in the Hospital having surgery (A Trans Perineal Biopsy my Prostate Cancer - !) I will try harder next time . . . . .
@@keithappleton I meant me, not had much free time lately, got a lot of your vids to catch up on.
Bravo, Thanks Keith another fine production.
Thank You }:-)))
the pads are REALLY thick. nice
Very nice addition to the shop
I think so too!
That looks like a nice little lathe 😀
It is quite good and works well.
Good video I love these small lathes there great for so many projects !
Yes they are!
Brilliant idea mounting it on those foam kneeling pads Keith. Wish I'd thought of that when installing my lathe. One other tip, if as you say you are not going to use it to do screw cutting then you might as well remove the thread dial. It will give you a little bit of extra travel on the carriage. Cheers, Alan.
A good idea - thanks, I will do that.
They use them in corporate offices as well
As normal, I always enjoy watching your Videos. Yes, there are of course times when I disagree with some of your content. These are very few & far between. Certainly not in this Video. Though, I was a little concerned about your statement about altering the gear ratios by substituting a smaller gear keyed to a small gear. The ratio of such a pair of keyed gears is directly related to the numbers of teeth in each gear. The greater that difference, the lower the mathematical ratio. All the different makes of 180 Lathes suffer from this problem of having a rather high minimum cutting speed. To cure it requires an additional gear with more teeth to be purchased. This in turn causes problems with the Guard clearance.

I do like this idea, but I would worry about the inevitable absorbing of oil, as I know my ml7 is a very oily little beast, even with a sealed drip tray where it bolts to the raising blocks. I think my Colchester student might have something to say about foam also...maybe dense rubber or pieces of tyre even? I do like the need to isolate a machine, so thank you.
The Foam has sealed layers top and bottom - no no oil soak at all.I have the same arrangement for my ML7R and it works perfectly - (and quietly)
10 POUNDS THATS PRETTY HEAVY FOR FOAM 😂🤣🙃😁 sorry had to ill show myself out lol
}:-)))
So, I literally know nothing, but I, too, have a cycling proficiency certificate, I'm on my first few days of owning a mini lathe and bolted it to a kitchen work top ( I didn't know It needed levelling) but any videos that mention it suggest that the lathe should be bolted down, I think in your video that the lathe isn't bolted down to the bench at all is that correct? Or did I miss something?
It doesn't need bolting down to the bench as the dense foam pads hold it in position.
@@keithappleton You say that works and I believe you. I do not understand how to be honest. Maybe the rubber damps vibration. Bolting onto a very heavy base would have the same effect.
