I am a retired machinist/mechanical engineer specialized in mechanical power transmission as in ?speed reducers (gearboxes). I learned about Unimat many decades ago when we were building huge format inkjet printers for the Billboard printing industry. This was prior to digital printing. We used the Unimats to make final tweaks and adjustments to the Jets in the print heads.
Since then I have frequently seen a Unimat in engineering labs and prototype labs.
Now that I am retired I have taken my mechanical skills and started a Clockworks business repairing antique clocks. I rebuilt a Unimat SL specifically to be geared towards manufacturing bushings to repair old clocks. Its versatility also makes it ?a great piece of equipment for repairing pinions and inserting pinion wires. From the Unimat¡¯s versatility perspective it is probably better for this job than a watchmaker¡¯s lathe.?
