Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Interested in the solution for this as well! I'm about to purchase some ER collet chucks but unsure if I should get one with backplate (will allow more flexibility if it's untrue) vs a directly

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Can you post a picture of the chuck? Not all of them use a back plate. I have three or four which run badly, and only one uses a back plate. There are a lot of ER collet holders which have the right

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
If you look?in Files?for Locking Screw DB501-8.pdf that is my drawing of the screw, and my version of it using a hex head instead of a socket head. I made one according to this drawing, with the hex

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Just looked at the specs for a Taig Micro Lathe II, should do it just fine! If I'd been able to lay hands on one, I'd have bought the earlier version when I started my serious lathe hunt. Newish HF

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
You can get taps & dies in M12-1 from Amazon, and make your own, if you want. Seems to me me I saw allthread in M12-1, as well. Didn't buy that, since I got the tap & die. ;) Bill in OKC??William R.

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Sorry, I must have missed adding the last photo. When looking for a milling column, if it's not obvious ask the seller to send you a photo of the locking bolt on the headstock adapter. This is one for

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Hello Andy: You don't need a new back plate. Just take the chuck off the plate you have and return the face and register of the old back plate. When you put the chuck back on it should run true. If

Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Hello All, I got Unimat 3 E16 Collet chuck that has horrible runout. Unimat Instruction book mentions the process of turning back plate for this chuck for the best precision. The question is where to

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Hi Gang: Does any one know of a source for the SL1000 bolt? M12x1 is a odd thread and the closest I've found are pipe/tubing fitting. Thanks, Carl.

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
The original photo you posted certainly looks like a DB200. One MAJOR change made to the SL1000 was the headstock locking mechanism (which has already been alluded to). To be absolutely sure, unscrew

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
My Uni came to me without a column but had the bracket and second tapered bolt. I made a column (on a bigger lathe). Making the hole took several ops and a couple of specially made and hardened tools

Newly acquired Unimat PC basic - acceptable runout?
So I recently acquired a unimat pc basic and I've just got it up and running. Measuring at the spindle nose it looks like a run out of just less than 0.01mm. See video

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Ok thank you guys, I have a better idea now. I must admit none of the advertised ones on ebay look like this. I will keep looking, otherwise I will try to machine one myself.

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
That one is NOT for your cast iron mk4 David - that is a cast aluminum one for the later zamac sl1000. The correct one is less tapered and has a more smooth rounded shape. Kevin Groenke

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Doesn't look like it. The cast iron one has a round flange where it meets the headstock... or where the column has been attached in the case of the photo. On the whole if the ad doesn't make it clear

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Thank you to all who have put me on the right track, I was not aware there were different columns. I think all the ones I looked at on ebay were the wrong ones. I will try to look for a manual on the
