Re: Unimat Sl/DB Lathe Adjustable Handwheels/Dials
Even though the Unimat is metric I would install Imperial (inch) lead screws as my micrometers are imperial. I don¡¯t need to complicate things. The only other pieces of measurement equipment is a

Re: Tiny clock hands - advice please
I have some doubt that a soldered split joint will provide a good force fit for this.? That is why others have suggested steel backing. As far as the rat tail file, you may get lucky, depending on
