John,
The headstock and tailstock are threaded the same as the Unimat 3 so those accessories are the same.
My opinion and I read it somewhere that this is more of a training lathe and should not be used for heavy cutting.
I use the NON- CNC controlled lathe for light work Alum, Brass and it will work fine.
WhenI used the lathe on steel I overworked the motor and now it will slow up when load applied. Looking for a motor.
Have been trying to find out what is needed for the CNC version abut have been unable to hook up with anyone who actuals uses one and would share information.
I am looking for a motor and any spare parts for either the UNIMAT PC or Unimat Basic lathe. Would buy a complete setup.

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,
