Hi Peter: Assumption, all the same size? And you have a vise? Are the bends in the same direction? Or opposite? Even a propane torch can help. On the 30 deg bend, a larger radius would help. Cut a

Tamra; Some months ago I mounted a 1.5”galvanized pipe cap in my SL1000 to turn it down into cylindrical shape from its curved shape. Using standard Unit Bits, I was able to accomplish the task with

Apologies as this isn’t Unimat (or even lathe) related - I’d appreciate some advice from those who will know. I have to make three identical ‘legs’ to support a metal shallow bowl water

Hi Tamra, It's always good to read, and manuals often need to be reread (many times) ... As to why I think the Ebay item was not identical to the EMCO watchmaker precision package's tiny toolrest:

Chuck,?Your recap on lathe cutting tools is well done. I am going to grind up several 1/4” square high speed tools for use on my Unimat. Also I have wanted to builds a small cut grinder for some

Yes those are the Edelstaal fly cutters, they cam in 2 different sizes?Jeff
