Re: Interesting turning technique

You'd be putting most of the pressure on one side of the quill using it as a lathe, instead of distributing the wear all around the quill. If you do a great deal of work that way it could become a problem eventually. Most lathe spindles that get a lot of use will do just that in a production environment. Most Unimats aren't used in production, though.?
If you're one of the few who do production work it would be good to be careful about keeing it well lubed.

Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

Quill movement is a design feature in Unimat for vertical milling and drilling. But done horizontally is somehow bad?
