Hello all,has anyone got any modification ideas for this lathe,the main reason being as the lathe is made down to a budget the gears don’t have enough clearance so rub together.I had thought of re-manufacturing the gear mount spindles with bronze distance pieces and using nuts to hold them onto the spindles instead of the standard “e” type clips.Also would fitting grease nipples to the spindles as opposed to the oil points be a good idea (the oil tends to get on the drive belt).Any ideas would be welcome.

Pailo.

Hello Pailo,

I have this model lathe, but have no such problem with the gears, perhaps talk to Warco ?

I have the 280 and also don’t have a problem.

The washers that go between the banjo and paired gear wheels are fractionally different thicknesses, get them the wrong way round and the gears will rub.

You could check that the sensor has not become dislodged, take the curved front panel off and you will see a disc on the spindle and the sensor on a bracket which should hold it just clear of the disc.

Hi Pailo

I Have the 250V-F & hav had no problem with the gears / banjo; I have noted & mentioned in the other Warco forum that there is what I consider over large axial clearance on the gear id but having checked the backlash & reset the gap there hasbeen no problems.
