Hello,
I am new to the discussion group for the UNIMAT SL and UNIMAT 3. I have been listening in to the technical discussions for a few months . I own two Unimat 3 lathes and use them often for making parts for repairs. One of the involved tasks was making a replacement bracket for the optical tubes of a Leitz stereo field microscope made in the 1920s. I made some interesting jigging to insure the optical convergence angle was kept accurate during milling. This repair project was in the spring of 1989 for a friend who was an amateur entomologist.
Owning and using a Unimat to make useful items has been a childhood dream come true. I remember the Unimat SL advertisements in "Popular Mechanics" magazine back in the 1950s.
I have a watchmakers spindle part #102200, a collet attachment part #102?00 and a copy of "Operating Instructions for the EMCO-UNIMAT Model SL Small Machine Tool" that I do not really need.
What I am looking for is a vertical alignment device for the vertical milling column for the Unimat 3 lathe that was made by Hemingway in England in the 1990s. Any information about this device would be welcome, it is no longer manufactured by the new Hemingway owners.
