Hi Dick:

I know a cross hole would be a real challenge, so I think a eye bolt around a turned down end section to pull the bars into the bed "Vs" might work.

But then the other question, related to the size of the machine, is the balance of Power / Size / Accuracy / Etc. To increase any one factor may compromise another.

I've had my Unimat for 45 years and haven't made any modifications to it. I did put it on a 20mm ground steel plate and added a mounting flange for the milling post, but I still have the same way shafts, etc. It is a small machine and needs a gentle hand, but with care I have drilled 3/4" holes in aluminum plate. Not as fast as a 5hp radial drill, but it did do the job.

So please enjoy your Unimat.

Thanks, Carl.
