Hello Everybody, what a great site! My name is Jon and in my mid life crisis I have bought an unused Warco 918 lathe for £625.00 with a Warco metal stand, 3 and 4 jaw chucks, steadies, face plate, live centre and a ton of tools. Now I need to work out how to degrease and get it running sweetly. I have a feeling I may be hanging around this site bugging the life out of the knowledgeable ones. (see my first question below) Be gentle now :lol: |

Hi Jon, welcome to the forum. We like to think we are a helpful bunch...... Ask away.... |

Hi Jon, welcome! :beer: If you don't have any, a couple of lathe books might be helpful. I liked the reprinted 1942 South Bend "How To Run A Lathe" manual from Lindsay Books when I first started out, and the Sparey book "The Amateur's Lathe" has come highly recommended here as well (though my reprint copy has really poor photos in it). |

Welcome Jon. Can I be the first to say... Never leave the key in the chuck! :D |
