Re: Threading Attachment?
I have seen plans for making a geared threading setup for the U3 from scratch and also plans for adapting a Sherline threading setup to the Unimat 3.? I just looked at the Unimat 3 files from the Unimat 3 group on groups io and found the Sherline to Unimat 3 conversion.? I have not taken the time yet to seek out the build it yourself threading set.? The only thing I remember about it was you cut your own gears and they were quite large, probably module 1.? Happy machining!

Download files in one go
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI can¡¯t say as I never tried to do that. I¡¯d bet one or more members can definitively answer your question though. There are a lot of images so i suspect the full set would be quite large to download.Cheers, Bill William K.

Hi guys,? I like the counterweight concept. Brain is now in gear.? James? Dunfermline, Fife, UK? Sent from my Sony Xperia on the hoof This email contains recycled electrons On Tue, 25 Feb 2020, 14:03 OldToolmaker via Groups.Io, <old_toolmaker=[email protected]> wrote: Hi John, --

Re: DRO
Thanks.? I agree that a hole in a column works.? Please note however: the vertical indicator arrangement that I made uses no holes or modifications to the Unimat.? The indicator holder is on a sliding shaft collar, so that you can move it up and down to match the head position. The bar across the motor mount uses tiny clamps, but no holes. At one time, "hkoesnadi", made a Unimat dial indicator holder that clamped across the bed with 2 wingnuts.? I can use a simple 2" travel dial indicator along the bed.? Digital long indicators seem expensive.?? The method of using a simple long digital stick gives the most range.? However, I have a hard time coming up with an easy mounting arrangement and no "slop". |

Hi Couldn't you rig up a counter-weight system to lift the head. It would be cheap, easy to make, easy to adjust and sensitive as you want. Regards Ken Murray-Taylor

Ebay hkoesnady QC Tool Post

That guy ships immediately. I ordered this on Friday aft I think it was, right after seeing it in a posting here. I got it today.
All the parts are cleanly and sharply machined, threads are clean and smooth, and the tops of the bit grooves level right even with the point of a dead center in the spindle. As a railroad equipment modeler and fairly infrequent user of my Unimat this tool post set seems like a good value addition to my tooling. Seven well machined blocks of aluminum for $100, under $15 per piece. |
