Re: Does anyone make new thread guides for the db /sl?

 


I would imagine in this modern world that you could 3d print new guides at whatever pitch you required.

Subject [Unimat] Does anyone make new thread guides for the db /sl?

I need to cut internal 3/4 x 27 and 1 x 27 threads for an automobile dashboard I¡¯m restoring. Want to do it myself on my sl, if possible. There are no 27 tpi guides for sale on ebay (did they even make one). Does anyone make new guides?

Three jaws chuck tightening

Jeff R. Allen
 

Hi guys,

I am a brand new Unimat SL user. I was working through the first example in the manual, cutting a short piece of aluminum various different ways.

I got my stock generally running true in the three jaw chuck and tightened it down using the handle of the chuck key and another convenient piece of metal in my kit to lever against each other. But when I went to face it off, I found that the force from the cutter was too much and it moved in the chuck. (I was facing off from outside in, is that right?)

I feel like I'm missing something about how to operate the three jaw chuck: the mini one from the Unimat does not work like the bigger ones I see on videos.

I feel like my chuck is pretty sticky (though not enough to prevent it working), I'm thinking of giving it a cleaning. Any hints on that?

Jeff
Re: Unimat 3 versions

 

Hi Andrey,
?
as far as I know, there aren?t difference on the Unimats 3, other than those concerning the motor installed, depending on the destination market. Thus, there are ones with Gefeg Ug-7750 for 110-120 / 60Hz and others for 220-240 / 50 Hz.
Unimats 4 had a whole different motor with no particular model name, a larger motor mounting plate and pulleys cover, different size pulleys and belts.?
On U4, the lathe bed has a different design for the drilling / milling attachment, and were provided with a larger 3-jaws chuck. I don?t recall if the 4-jaws chuck has also some difference in size.
By the way, the drilling / milling attachment for the U3 is not compatible with the U4, neither the other way around, since there are no fixing holes on this accessory column, to my surprise.

Best regards, Ricardo

Re: Unimat 3 versions

 

I'm not sure there were any different versions of the U3. Maybe different accessories at different times, but I think the basic lathe never changed.
Unimat 3 versions

 

Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody has information about different versions of Unimat 3?

? This link should take you to a listing for an American Gator tapping tool that can be used on a mill or drill press, ect. Might fit your need.

Hi Gang:

It is a brush motor, to reverse swap either the brush or field wires.

To reverse shaded pole motors, turn the field over.

New. 90 watts.?

It probably runs the wrong way for a Unimat and there could be issues with mounting and with the pulley.

Old Toolmaker Sir,?
The ?290 one that John was referring to was most likely the one that clankennedy2004 shared.

This discussion is getting a bit unseemly and not something I prefer to receive in my email.?

Could we stick to Unimats and what we make with them please?

Thanks and make on!?

Hi John,

Since I have never posted a picture of the Unimat motor I have for sale, your comment is out of line, false and disparaging.
Also, the motor I have is a U90 and ¡°not¡± a 290 as you state.

Your 290 Unimat was a rusty junk.

Some have sold on EBay for $199.00 plus shipping here in the US. So the price is not out of line!
If no takers I will just keep it. It has value as a collectible.
