Re: "Basic Technical Information" U3 book?
I've looked through the PDFs I have found over the years - I think they are all in the Files section - and I don't see it. Looking through some old pictures there is a not much clearer image of it which reveals it was an EMCO publication, so I would assume it is much the same as the various instruction books/booklets they released over the years. The biggest of those has an overall description of the lathe, and some basics on how to use it, and similar instructions for various accessories. Then it has parts lists for everything, and the diagrams show how they all fit together. I think the one you are looking for is the same thing, maybe without the parts lists, in a fancy cover. It's definitely a lot thinner than the usual instruction book.
?
I don't say give up looking, but the various publications you can find in the Files should give you a pretty good guide to the Unimat 3, along with other small lathes. I suspect this extra one will not add to the sum total of your knowledge.

Re: Someone using U3 threading attachment?
I know how to use the original attachment. It is not the problem. I just wonder if it is worth spending money to make the attachment complete, I'm missing some parts. Therefore, I ask again, is there someone who use the original threading attachment for U3? And....is it a good solution for treadcutting in U3?

Re: Someone using U3 threading attachment?
Hi Peter,? I am interested in this also I have downloaded your files but do you have an image of your parts setup on the U3 and how you use it please.

I have a U3 and some of the parts for the threadcutting attachment. But I don't know if? it is worth? searching for the parts I don't have. I can't see any pictures of some U3 with this attachment mounted in the Internet. And no Youtubes either. Is it a attachment someone use? Is it difficult to use? I have seen homemade attachment for threading. Maybe be better, easier? Please give me some advise.

Re: Someone using U3 threading attachment?
Check the Files section here for instructions on how to use the various accessories. There should be diagrams of photographs of the various parts.

I was watching a BBC art program, and found someone at the Courthauld Institute in London examining a large painting.? Note the Optivisor.? If good enough for them, then should be OK for us.

Go?to /sendloginlink - apparently you will be emailed a link that is valid for 30 minutes.
?
Once you are in on the website you can change your password for a new one (in 'Settings' presumably).
?
Of course this depends on you remembering the email address that you registered with, and still having access to it.

I intend to use the Unimat itself to machine up the tooling. I will post pictures as it progresses.

Re: SL motor heats up and..
If you hit any snags or want any advice, post your questions here.

Re: SL motor heats up and..
Yes, I have seen mine is marked like that.

Re: SL motor heats up and..
Thanks everyone for your replies and helpful advice. I have purchased a 24 V DC motor, 150w and 4000rpm, as well as a 10A power supply and vsc. I will adapt Keith’s drawings (thanks for sharing those!) to build a mounting bracket and spindle adaptor. I hope I have some spare time during Easter for this.

Fran
