Unimat SL refinish/refurb
I'm making some questionable decisions but I wanted to refinish one of them and make it look as pristine as I could. I was going to use a rattle can hammered finish, found a color I liked.? It didn't

Re: Foot Controls
Just a different idea for safety but may be not for the Unimat :-) I picked up a couple of Conveyor Belt protection switches a while ago. They have a spring loaded cord arrangement that cuts power if

Re: New aftermarket motor db200 lathe
This is the setup I used. The motor is extremely quiet, and while the mounting lugs are slightly wider than the stock motor mounting holes, I only had to slot one of them by a couple millimeters or so

Re: New aftermarket motor db200 lathe
All, Thanks for the info regarding the motor, I was not aware the AC motors were so noisy so it looks like I will need to go for the DC scooter motor. I have such a small space to work I will have to

Re: New aftermarket motor db200 lathe
John, thats interesting..... When I put on the toothed belt drive mechanical noise was far from my mind. I had just seen the "blurb" on the "new" unimat 4 which came ( as I remember ) with a tooth

Re: New aftermarket motor db200 lathe
Sewing machine motors are generally not very quiet either. I have such a howler on my Pillar Tool, which I built according to the drawings by G.H.Thomas. The foot switch is a disaster. I have not yet

New aftermarket motor db200 lathe
My old cast iron unimat has some strange motor (220v) on it which is very noisy. I want to replace it with something else, I see a lot of folks moved to the dc option with transformers and speed

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts?
I grind my HSS turning tools from HSS-E blanks and also use them on a larger machine in custom-made holders. My turning tools are made from 6 x 6 mm (1/4" x 1/4") HSS-E material. The holders are

I've always been interested in HSS inserts, but didn't know enough about them to know where to look, or what to look for.? Care to share some part numbers?
