Re: New Mr Pete Unimat video up
My husband just found Mr. Pete videos and was surprised when I told him, I watched them the week he went on vacation with son #2, I was traveling to our miniature show and workshops, so I haven't been online much for a while.
I'm definitely watching the series... but I would really like Mr. Pete make accessories with the unimat. I had a serious bout of equipment envy when he used a Bridgeport mill.

Re: For sale in Austria: EMCO UNIMAT 3 with many acccessories incl. original EMCO cabinet
I do think this one is less expensive the one posted in the Niel's photos... but that is purely from memory, that I have the price and seller in my head properly.
I keep forgetting to play the lottery, so I'm trying to keep lathe acquisition disease in a sleeping state.

Re: For sale in Austria: EMCO UNIMAT 3 with many acccessories incl. original EMCO cabinet
My pleasure, Tamra, and yes I would have expected that this sale roused your interest - just because of the pictures of the wall cabinet. Like you, I am not in the market to buy another lathe though, even if it has such a plethora of accessories and what have you. At the end of the day, we don't want to end up as an EMCO Unimat museums but rather just want to have a practical workshop, isn't it?? ? ?

For the drive belts I might try the small Vee belts fitted to many sewing machines, but that will mean having a tensioning lever in the drive, so it can be slackened off to move the belts around.

Re: 24Volt DC Unimat Motors
I love my 24v DC motors also !
As I have a speed controller (two actually in one box, for two motors) I made new pulleys of identical size to give 1:1 gearing.
I kept the same size and format of belts - as I understand it having the chance of some ¡®slip¡¯ in a disaster scenario is a useful feature¡. It works beautifully under normal operation.
Yep, close to overheating and ¡®resting¡¯ motors is a thing of the past¡ I wouldn¡¯t go back either !

Re: 24Volt DC Unimat Motors
Did you change the pulleys and belt to a timing belt setup?

Nice setup, but also pricey.?
No idea whether this seller (based in Vienna)? will ship overseas but here you go - €1150 is the asking price. On top of the cabinet you will also notice the original carton box in which the set may have been acquired??

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts?
The problem with the Google translator is that it translates word for word. The Deepl translator translates the texts meaningfully. This is particularly important for me when I translate English texts into German. It makes it easier for me to understand.? I can then very easily correct any grammatical errors.
The Goole translator very often delivers incomprehensible words that make no sense to me.

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts?
Bruno, don't worry about your English. I lived in Germany for 5 years, and never got much beyond "Guten Tag."? I've been studying Spanish off and on for much of the past 60 years, and despite that, still not much better than "Buenas Dias."? I can still sing at least parts of a couple of songs I learned back in the 7th Grade, and understand them, but can't understand someone speaking Spanish, though I can sometimes pick out words I understand. And that includes nearly 20 semester hours of Spanish & Conversational Spanish. My brain does not learn other languages well. I have similar problems with mathematics beyond very basic algebra.?
Bruno, mach dir keine Sorgen um dein Englisch. Ich habe f¨¹nf Jahre lang in Deutschland gelebt und bin nie ¨¹ber ?Guten Tag¡° hinausgekommen. Ich habe in den letzten 60 Jahren immer wieder Spanisch gelernt und trotzdem nicht viel besser als ?Buenas Dias¡°. Ich kann immer noch zumindest Teile einiger Lieder singen, die ich in der 7. Klasse gelernt habe, und sie verstehen, aber ich kann niemanden verstehen, der Spanisch spricht, obwohl ich manchmal W?rter herauspicken kann, die ich verstehe. Und dazu geh?ren fast 20 Semesterstunden Spanisch und Konversationsspanisch. Mein Gehirn lernt andere Sprachen nicht gut. Ich habe ?hnliche Probleme mit der Mathematik, die ¨¹ber die grundlegende Algebra hinausgeht.
Instead, I use Google Translate.?

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts?
Bruno, for myself, no worries. I'd rather try to learn from each other and just work through the odd translations. There are a couple of words in Japanese I often want to use, but the translation has no cultural equivalent in US English.

Hi Don. This is probably their most expensive ? but you only cry once. The tools being flat are very easy to re-hone the edge, they "should" never need regrinding. Less than perfect here, I am full of exceptions LOL. I'm also partial to "tangent" tool holders. The only commercial producer I'm aware of is in Australia. Pricey, but the tool is easily honed, rarely needs to be reground.? If you have access to a mill and are interested in shop made, I believe there are discussion threads on the Hobby Machinist and the forums for making them. Ron Ron

Re: AR Warner HSS Inserts?
Yes. Like Andrei (Hi!!, just finely got the die grinder set back up), 95% great experience. The other 5% was I didn't know the difference in a horizontal and vertical threading insert tool and broke my insert using it the wrong way. The help I requested from AR Warner was "Take a class." Well turned out Little Machine Shop where I purchased mine didn't know either. The person who pointed me to the tooling let me knot they are vertical tools. No problem since.? They are perfect for low power lathes. I use them mostly on a 10". "But" for comparison, a carbide insert tool for 2" material, not unreasonable for a 10" lathe, requires running mine at top RPM. Yes it's doable, but . . .? just my $.02
