Hi Les, I am liking that, I drive an SL. I don't have access to a 3D printer at the moment. Most of the ones I know of are printing mask bits. I would be interested in the necessary files for that for

That is true, and good to know, but the rate of posting messages is the only measure we have of activity. Anyway, the numbers are encouraging, and that will do for me! Keith, in sunny Slough

I got a precision Jacobs chuck, 4 mm capacity, aiming to bore it out to use on the DB/SL. Once I looked at it I reakised that boring it out would mean it would fall apart, or at least be seriously

You may be able to buy a unimat SL fixed steady on Ebay usa, but I haven't seen on for sale in Europe for the last 6 months. I can tell you that the cost for 3D printing form Shapeways, a 3D printing

Here is another one of my favorites. The Wonders of Machinery Hall. This is a large book 8 1/2' x 11" with 192 pages. It walks you through the construction and the expositions of the Machinery Hall of

What is the cost of having a steady rest commercially printed for either an original Unimat or a Unimat 3, or who is selling printed ones and for what price? I want to compare printed ones to buying

The "Echoes fro Oil Country" series are good to read. they are many different stories about early machine shops (steam powered) and how they had to go out and make/repair equipment. Most of these are

Thanks for the reply. I used 20% fill and 1.2 wall section, feels quite rigid. The arms are printed on a 3D Resin printer, I am do the body in that later. The bearings (the brass looking parts) are

I print in ABS and did this with a solid fill, even then it was less than 30m filament, i havent tested it yet, but my thoughts are that the legs can easily be reprinted for a matter of a few pennies

Hi Peter, nice steady. Can I ask what material you used. I have mine 3D printed in PLA and I'm waiting for the small bearings to go on the end of the 3 legs before I can use it. Do the legs wear much?

Primed by the earlier post of a 3d printed steady rest for a Unimat SL or DB, I was inspired to create my own for my Unimat 3.

Hello Dick: You are right, the body is mild steel where you need to cut. That is how I did the threads on my ER32 Chuck: /g/Unimat/photo/195716/4?p=Name,,er32,20,1,0,0 Carl.

Hi Carl, I was assuming the chuck body was able to be machined and not too hard. That makes it very doable. Dick

Hi Gang: This is almost what I do, the big difference I put a dowel pin in the lathe for the drill chuck to clamp on. If the dowel pin is running true, the clamping surfaces of the chuck are too. Then

Hi guys, I think Paul is right, the format and organisation of groups.io certainly helps a lot. Stay safe, James in sunny Fife Sent from my Sony Xperia on the hoof This email contains recycled

Keith I think you would be surprised by the number of people visiting this site gleaning great ideas. Just because not everyone contributes, that does not mean it's not appreciated . I'm not into

Yes, lockdown must be helping, I've certainly done more modelling and lathework in the past few weeks than I normally would. I've even got my airbrush out of storage which hasn't seen the light of day
