Good evening everybody

Unfortunately they have changed things a little since yours was made. The curved plate with the RPM display and speed dial now comes all the way down to the bottom of the headstock so, though I can indeed remove the cover underneath, it doesn't really help unless I slice that front plate short. I've been reaching the oiler by taking the end cover (the belts & changewheels cover) off, which is a bit of a fiddle as I don't otherwise want to delve into that section of the machine every session. I must admit it only gets oiled half as often as the one at the other end, which is no doubt wicked of me and a recipe for bearing wear but I'm just not in the habit yet.

Other than that rather petty complaint I'm really thrilled with the machine so don't worry, I'm pretty sure your comments haven't led me up any garden paths! I didn't see you as either recommending or execrating the WM180, just describing.

Only other changes I've encountered so far, in case you're curious:
 - Warco now say they don't sell a vertical milling slide for it (asked them in person at Alexandra Palace last month); in light of your comments I wonder if they had too many unsatisfied customers.
 - The machine now comes with a threading dial in the box.
