I would point out that the way one gets experience is to do the work. You can find material in the trash beside the road if you don't have the money to just go & buy it. That is where I got mine at first. I still have the boring bar holder I made from an axle stub that broke off a hay baler. Found it in the road when I was walking to school. Tools. He already has the lathe, but he does need a grinder & some toolbit blanks.
Now, it is necessary to point out that anything you have never done, & don't know how to do, is impossible of accomplishment. That is, until you take your courage in both hands, and try & do it. generally you find that not only can you do it, but you can easily do it again. Thus the impossible becomes mundane, and learning has taken place. The hard thing for most humans to realize is that nearly anything they can imagine, they can do.

Subject: Re: [UNIMAT] Adjustable Tool Post for the Unimat SL-1000
Tim,
Check out littlemachineshop.com
2487 Quick Change Tool Post Set for Unimat 3 & 4
$87.50
1 for parting-off, 2 tool posts, 1 for boring bar.
One just sold on ebay for I think $165.00 because people do not shop around.
May fit the SL-1000, see their website and ask questions.

I am in need of an Adjustable Tool Post.
I don't have the experience, material, or tools to make one on my own
nor do I want to try.
Fishing for one on Ebay is starving me to death.
Does anyone know of a person, place, or website that sells after
market adjustable tool posts that will fit the Unimat SL-1000?
I would appreciate any advise or direction.
Thanks
Tim
