Re: iGaging Digital 6” Digital with remote
I have one of those sitting right in front of my Unimat. Had it forever… and haven’t installed it. I’ll be watching.?
I bought it for a mini mill installation that never happened.?

I just purchased an igaging 6” digital read out with remote display. I am going to mount this on my Unimat DB200 to measure linear travel. If this works well I will also mount another readout to measure cross travel.
If anyone has implemented something similar I would appreciate hearing about your experience and any advice.

Re: iGaging Digital 6” Digital with remote
Measuring the linear travel would solve a lot of my fiddling with the metric calibration...? following conversation.

Re: For sale in Austria: EMCO UNIMAT 3 with many acccessories incl. original EMCO cabinet
Everything sold by Niels is priced at ungodly levels. I think he only dabbled in business as a pass-time

You could say so - Niels Brijlandt sold his set for some �4,5K wheres Vilen (the present seller in Austria) sells for just 1,1K. That too is a lot of money - but just 25% of what Niels charged.

I do think this one is less expensive the one posted in the Niel's photos... but that is purely from memory, that I have the price and seller in my head properly.
I keep forgetting to play the lottery, so I'm trying to keep lathe acquisition disease in a sleeping state.

Re: New Mr Pete Unimat video up
P.S. I definitely will make some more screws of 260 brass that is a very useful video.

Re: New Mr Pete Unimat video up
My husband just found Mr. Pete videos and was surprised when I told him, I watched them the week he went on vacation with son #2, I was traveling to our miniature show and workshops, so I haven't been online much for a while.
I'm definitely watching the series... but I would really like Mr. Pete make accessories with the unimat. I had a serious bout of equipment envy when he used a Bridgeport mill.

Re: For sale in Austria: EMCO UNIMAT 3 with many acccessories incl. original EMCO cabinet
My pleasure, Tamra, and yes I would have expected that this sale roused your interest - just because of the pictures of the wall cabinet. Like you, I am not in the market to buy another lathe though, even if it has such a plethora of accessories and what have you. At the end of the day, we don't want to end up as an EMCO Unimat museums but rather just want to have a practical workshop, isn't it?? ? ?

For the drive belts I might try the small Vee belts fitted to many sewing machines, but that will mean having a tensioning lever in the drive, so it can be slackened off to move the belts around.

Re: 24Volt DC Unimat Motors
I love my 24v DC motors also !
As I have a speed controller (two actually in one box, for two motors) I made new pulleys of identical size to give 1:1 gearing.
I kept the same size and format of belts - as I understand it having the chance of some ‘slip’ in a disaster scenario is a useful feature…. It works beautifully under normal operation.
Yep, close to overheating and ‘resting’ motors is a thing of the past… I wouldn’t go back either !

Re: 24Volt DC Unimat Motors
Did you change the pulleys and belt to a timing belt setup?

No doubt about that. I just meant to share without any personal interest myself - no relationship between me and the seller.?

Nice setup, but also pricey.?
No idea whether this seller (based in Vienna)? will ship overseas but here you go - �1150 is the asking price. On top of the cabinet you will also notice the original carton box in which the set may have been acquired??
