Re: Edelstaal cutoff or slotting tool and Komet toolholder

Re: Edelstaal cutoff or slotting tool and Komet toolholder
I use the Sherline cutoff blade on a Sherline lathe with their own steel toolpost and holders.? A cutoff blade should work on any later.? The narrower blade puts lower stress on the lathe.

Re: Unimat motor

Re: Unimat motor
I have converted my Unimat to 24 volt DC motors as have some others on this forum. The beauty of this is that I now have variable speed and directional control as well as a very quiet motor. Direcinal
