Hi Gang:?

How do chips being flung from the cutting tool in front of the chuck end up behind the chuck? Sure a few, but the quill is a slip fit with little room for chips to get in. In fact I often turn wood making dusty chips and they haven't done anything bad to my 51 year old Unimat.

Sliding the stock past a fixed tool is how Swiss Screw machines work. Multi turn resistors use very long very small screws and Swiss Screw lathes do the work.

The Unimat is a very versatile machine and it is fun to find new ways to make it even more versatile!

Carl.
