Hi, Living in the UK i do not have ready access to that publication ! Perhaps a scan and upload to the files section is in order or e-mail me the pdf direct if you prefer. Would be nice to have. Also generally is there an archive of Home Shop Machinist magazines available on pdf anywhere ?

Hello, Carl
Some years ago Ted Hansen published a plan in Home Shop Machinist magazine to build a worm dividing head to fit the 7X12 minilathe.
I built it to his specs and it works beautifully. As designed it allows up to 360 degree divisions.
By adding more divisions plates it is possible to achieve many more hole circles.
This plan can be easily adapted to the Unimat.
It is worth the effort and time to read the article series.
The forum members here could benefit from this.

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
First, thank you to Kit Maira regarding Home Depot reduced prices on a hammered silver and gray.? I went to the South Plainfield NJ store and bought one of each.
Now, as far as matching somehing like the common Unimat green.? We universally seem to have an idea of the "good paint shop" that will make this great paint for us.? Rustoleum has hammered Verde Green, which is unobtainable for me.? There is, as was pointed out, Rustoleum hammered silver in cans - $23 at HD.? Has anyone here actually ever had this tinted to match Unimat?? Or is it this a nice hopeful concept?? ?Home Depot has a tint of phthalo green which they can put in.? Look up this color online.? It does not match Unimat.? So what should be done?? Do we need phthalo and something else - yellow?? Blue?
I feel that we take this subject of paint and are jerking around forever and not coming to any measurable conclusion.? Is each of us to buy this hammered silver and put in some unknown other colors?? And we do not even know if this works?

About 552 ?
Possibly plus Import Tax into the UK, plus 20% VAT, plus carriage costs. (The Post Office also charge to collect the above taxes from the buyer on behalf of HMRC and to deliver the item within the UK but I guess you would be looking at a professional carrier).

I've seen 3 Maximats in the SF bay area over the years, but the prices have been crazy, kind of like Levin lathes (the larger ones).

You might want to add this link in one of the Links tables in Databases.
I just noticed that one of my YouTube machining channels just came up with a video on casting an aluminum steady rest for the Unimat, starting with a 3D print.?

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
The hammered paint is also available in 1quart cans. Try mixing the silver with the deep green or take a can into the good paint shop and have them try tinting the color.

I have 4 of the Sl's and they are not all the same color, there is one that looks to have more blue in it. It could be from aging or a variance at the factory. I have also seen ones that had a bit more of a yellowish tint to them.

Here are 2 photos, both iron machines.? One is a hammered silver.? The other is a flat gray with a greenish tone.? Borh are likely original.

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
I was just at my local Home Depot two days ago and they were closing out both Rust-Oleum the Hammered Gray, and Hammered silver spray paint. Reduced to $7.60 from $10.48 I don¡¯t know if this is happening all over. Kit Maira Support the Cause of Peace

Hi John, I know for sure that the paint you require can be purchased in the peruvian andes from a local paint shop. However they do not ship to the USA. Also its costs 3 baby lamas and an incan poncho in exchange for just one can ! Let me know if you need the address as you will have to fly there to collect in person :D

As I said before, we keep beating the same old horse. It is always that some magic paint store will make it, or it is in another country and unshippable, or I will check, or someone online shows you how, etc.? Just tell me that I can buy one can from so and so.

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Yeah I agree, Rustoleum Verde Green might¡¯s well change its name to ¡®Unobtainable¡¯ Hammered Paint. ?
I might do some testing following up some leads I¡¯ve seen on one of my Hot Rod forums where they lightly mist a fresh wet paint with a silicone spray with decent results. ?
Worth a bit of testing.?

Re: What is the Best Unimat ? and WHY !
Having both a basic Cowells and 2 Sherlines, I agree.? If you are willing to spend, you can purchase a 3C collet head for Sherline.? You can put 1/2" through the head.? However, on average, Cowells lathes sell in the UK for prices higher than Unimat.? Cowells are not often for sale in the US.? So for US, we are back to Sherline.? No comment about Sherline availibility outside US.
