Quick change tool post for warco220

Hi all

I would like to buy a quick change tool post but what type should I get and what types will fit

If you mention the name and size of your lathe, some one might be able to help you. Else you will have to measure the toolpost seating to centre height and the diameter of the toolpost fixing stud and just peruse the online catalogues to get a handle on which ones might fit.

Sorry I thought it was stated in the thread title but the lathe is a warco 220

Even getter advice, ask a Warco themselves….

Hi Kevin,

Your lathe appears to be this one LINK and I believe it has a 100mm (4" ) centre height. It looks like Warco offer a couple of QCTPs for that centre height LINK

The centre height on my lathe (WM180) is 90mm and I have added a QCTP from Arc Eurotrade, the model 250-100 which required some slight modification.  LINK

If you take the measurements from your lathe it should be easy enough to work out which one of those I linked to would fit. If still unsure, as John says have a chat with Warco, or any supplier, I'm sure they'll get you sorted.

Ed.

Warco are very helpful even when they screw up, as I have found in the past twelve months. They swapped the lathe I bought for another one as the one I bought had an oscillation problem over a certain speed range. The replacement lathe is excellent.

Hi Kevin,

If you go the Dickson route, the T0 will fit, but a T00 may be better. Depends on the size of tools you intend using.

Cutwel supply the full range of Bison copies, and supply a datasheet with dimensions. A & R Precision supply good copies of the T00 size.

Regards, Chris
