Warco GH Major mill

[DericParticipant @deric]

Seasons greetings

Has anyone with a warco GH Mill got/had and solved the 'floppy' and inaccurate down feed levers?

The handles on my mill rattle about so badly that there is no definite engagement or disengage and will quite often disconnect when down feed is in use, most annoying!

I can't have the only one with this problem just hope someone can help

best regards

Drill down feed levers.

Hi Deric

Are you talking about the course or fine downfeed. I have a Chester Lux mill, which I belive is the same as a Warco GH mill but have never had a issue with the downfeed levers.

Michael, it's the main handles/levers, there are two on the ' hub' which have to be pushed to the right to engage the down feed. Any vibration when using power down feed will cause them to'jump out of gear' and the quill flies back up!

i just had a look at the Chester lux and if yours is the same it has three handles on the main down feed. My machine is circa 2008 and it looks like on the warco machines that the down feed has been changed to the 3 handle version like yours.

i would be interested to know how you engage fine down feed

Without going and looking at it, but quickly, On the hub with the 3 handles for the course downfine is a screw lock which moves from fine to course feed. I do not have the power down feed so may be different to yours.
