Hi Everyone

Has any body here have a Warco290V lathe?If so is it possible to advise on the changing of gears for screw cutting.

The manual is not clear to me,nor are a lot of things now,any info will be much appreciated.Thanks in advance

is it the actual tooth counts to ger a set pitch you are not sure of or how to physically change the gears to the setup you want?

Hi Jason

Thanks for the prompt response.

Youve got it.I,m finding it difficult to understand completely the drawing in the manual.

i have gone through the process of changing gears etc so i,m ok with the assembly etc but what goes where to achieve the specific thread is baffling me.

Hi,

I don’t have a Warco myself.

However:

Take two: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Gear+train+on+a+Warco+290V+lathe&mid=03435B8566EE78F4918C03435B8566EE78F4918C&mcid=743FB1CC44C24570971241AFD80AE155&FORM=VIRE

Rather than look at the side view of the gears shown in the manual it i sprobably easier to relate the numbers on the chart to the sides of the gears as you are looking at them.

So if you look at the image below The top pait of numbers relate to the top two gears, left and right

The second pair of numbers relate to teh middle pair left and right agaon

The last line will be a single gear on teh end of teh leadscrew which can be on one or the other side depending on teh gear train.
