So I have 2 Taig lathes, one mounted on the board and the other mounted on a block of aluminum, I paid $200 for each, I bought the latter to assist the local school in their Steam program.? ?I also have 2 Unimats and SL and a DB the cast iron db is a dedicated mill.? I also have a Clarke 3000 which is a 7x12 model.? ?I go to the Unimat first for small work. I have a large amount of accessories for both the Unimats and the Taigs, and have made many crossover adapters so I can cross over tooling.? ?I have a vertical mill slide for the Taig that I have used on the Unimat sl.? ? I am not a machinist I am an instrument technician by trade.? I first used a Unimat at work to machine bushings for high speed printers.? ??
A friend purchased the sherline lathe with the extended bed for making fly casting rods, he builds them from scratch.? ?
