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

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

If the turning rings are smaller in cross-section, less grinding is required. I like to use small cross-sections, including broken centre drills and sometimes broken taps.

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

Yes, I have several sets of their tools and am satisfied.? Made in USA, not China.

arwarnerco.com find the ones that will fit your tool bit holders. HSS is great for small lathes, interrupted cuts, lower speeds and feeds, etc. Carbide needs to be pushed with higher speeds, feeds,

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?

One advantage, though it may seem counter intuitive, is that they are HSS not carbide. Really sharp HSS actually works better than carbide on smaller machines. I am a big fan of Warner HSS inserts.

Yes, they are great. A bit pricey for what they are, but you don't have to grind your own HSS. Best Regards, Andrei mailto:calciu1@... ________________________________ Sent: Thursday, April

Has anyone had direct experience with AR Warner HSS inserts? -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF- SET-tailstock-center-65965#post105972 http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/s...995#post112113 (

The original model is posted in several places. This one is on thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3509958

This is the original design: https://www.printables.com/model/18183-pillar-drill-press-dremel I’ll post the 3d model files for my changes after I confirm that everything works together properly.

The original model was intended to be a ‘Dremel’ drill press. I liked the robust design of the column and rack gear operation, so I adopted it as the starting point. It had an insert to hold the

I’ve created a little machine by mixing various 3d printed models I found online and adding my own Tinkercad bits. It is designed to help with creating accessories for the Unimat and other tools. It

One has to pay attention when using any tools, or suffer the consequence. Oops, blood everywhere!

I've got foot pedals on my sewing machine, and my RSU (Resistance Soldering Unit, used for soldering brass models), but not on either of my Unimats, simply because the dog likes to be at my feet and I

If you have the switch on the motor you could switch that off while setting up the lathe and only switch it back on when you're ready to start turning. Of course you might forget . . .

Me too, never looked back.

I like foot switches for other devices but for the lathe I found that I had a tendency to tap the switch when I shouldn't. This would be when I stopped working for a bit to change my setups. I guess I

I use the same thing. Peter B.
