Warco speed control PCB failure KB ELECTRONICS KBLC-240DS 3819D
I overloaded my lathe using a slow speed and blew this board up. My fusing was incorrect amongst other things, I have now replaced both fuses Mains in and DC motor with circuit breakers . I have since repaired the original PCB, by replacing the SCR’s and Diodes. Within the lathe I’ve upgraded all the […]
Warco Lathe WM280 Speed reduction / Increased torque drive pulley addition
Having owned a Warco WM280 for some years I was always unhappy with the slow speed, certain machining tasks require a slow speed and high torque eg. threading work and Drilling holes larger than 13 mm. The slow speed had low torque capability which also caused over current if the rotation was stalled. During a […]

Lathe Handwheel adaptor – Rapid and slow (higher Torque) winders.
I quickly realised the rear tailstock and the cross slide handwheel (which are common castings from the Chinese seig factory) are a real nuisance and suffered with a few drawbacks, particularly when requiring accuracy, speed and drilling larger diameter holes, The entire hand wheel had to be gripped to apply suitable torque. In addition it was […]
Hex Tool holders for lathe Small Internal diameter boring tools
I required a small internal carbide tool, 5mm to 13 mm Looking at the the £100 price tag for the horn system I decided to manufacture my own. Having tried a number of different attempts from U tube at making my own I finally had my own ideal solution. The system uses Hex bar for […]
Rotating Machine Knobs Improved
Rotating knobs fitted onto Chinese machines are of poor quality and have a tendency to wear internally causing ovalling due to the poor finish and the softness of the materials used. Replacement Bakelite versions are sticky in operation and suffer from corrosion which exasperates the problem. Improved Rotating Knobs While being frustrated with this insignificant item of hardware I […]
Drill holder/extension for extended reach and Standardising shaft size
Here’s an idea for a handy tool adaptor for a drilling from a tailstock on a lathe. Winding a chuck in and out for every drill size is time consuming fiddly and laborious. in addition the reach over the cross slide is restrictive. How about solving these two problems in one. By utilising standard lengths […]
