Hi John
I have a Unimat PC that I have been using for to produce hobby items that I sell. It is a nice small lathe even if not used in PC mode. Parts are hard to get but they can be had. I purchased two more Unimat PC's on e-bay to have spare parts. The hard thing to find is the controller board that fits in a computer to run the lathe in CNC mode. Make sure the boars that comes with he lathe you are buying is working. The software is available but it works best in an older AT type computer. It dosn't work in a new computer. Lots of help is available on this board.
Regards
Bob
BTW If you don't buy the lathe, let me know. I can always use more parts. Especially the controller board...

Hi,I'm a new member to this group and would appreciate any comments on the Unimat PC. I have a chance to pick one up locally but don't see much information anywhere as to support and spare parts, etc.I could use some help on deciding if this generally is worth purchasing and if any particular features should be checked out in advance.Thanks,John StrupatLondon, ON CANADA
