Hi Phil
I have the same mill WM16 for about 18 months and a WM250 lathe at home both with digital readout
and found them to be very useful and nice to use.
Bought the for when I retire and no longer have access to the big stuff in my university workshop.

Never done that with the digital readout but interesting to see these things being used to there capabilities.

Regards

Derek

Hi Derek, as Stephen White said go for the largest mill you can as you may regret it, so I went for the wm16 B which has the 777mm bed and it's belt drive so it's extremely quiet. I also ordered the delux dro package and had Warco fit it, I may never fully exploit its capabilities! I have a list as long as your arm of jobs waiting to be machined.

Hi Simon, you would be surprised how easy this stuff is to use, when I was an engineering apprentice I hated standing at a machine when the sun was shinning outside but now I'm happy to do so detailing these great kits, although I do sit on a stool now as the old back gives me jip!

Hi Phil
I have the same readout on the mill and lathe .
Like you I got them to fit it to both machines.

As I said very happy with both machines .
Good value for money.

Regards Derek

Great to see what you're doing with your milling and turning Phil, the WM-16 and DRO are just right for our sort of stuff. My go to source whenever I need to see how the professionals do it is Joe Pi on YouToob. His channel is full of really good but not always obvious solutions and he's got a cracking sense of humour.

His channel is here:

An afternoons work on the belly and I've made a start on the idler adjuster detailing.

How much work on the idlers?

Phil Woollard · Post by **Phil Woollard** » Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:14 pm

Those pesky idler adjusters are now done.

I agree Derek, what would we do without it!

Spent the last few days making the sprockets more like the 1/1.
Message for Armortek, I'm being logged out every time I navigate and I mean every time, it's most annoying.
