I forgot to mention that my knurling is on a Logan or Clausing; I've never attempted (that I can recall) trying to knurl on the unimat.

I believe the German u-boats might have carried the Hommel UWG lathe, seen here:
These were very interesting machine tools.

Tamra;
It has been said that German U-Boats carried a small metal lathe similar to Unimats.
I remember seeing the American Edelstaal Unimat advertised in the ads in the back of Popular Mechanics and Mechanix Illustrated magazines in the very early ¡®60s.when I was a teenager (I¡¯m now 73). The price was $99 at the time. I wanted one very badly back then but $99 was a lot back then.
I did get one in 1971 when my newly wed wife¡¯s Uncle who worked at Sears could get a great discount at Sears who was selling them at that time. I still only ended up with a very basic SL-1000 with a couple of accessories. Since around 2000 I added accessories obtained on eBay and now have most of what I ever wanted, but now I want to convert one to CNC.
Best regards,
John
