Neil, Yes, that is my design. I also have this dividing attachment. I am however, planning on a fully worm geared dividing head compleat with division hole plates and plunger. Much more versatile.

Re: VTG UNIMAT SL DB 200 LATHE - $465 (Portola district, San Francisco)

Re: VTG UNIMAT SL DB 200 LATHE - $465 (Portola district, San Francisco)
The cosmetic condition is Exc/VG?!? Not in my book; i'd say poor/average at best.? Using this one as a yardstick, my SL is better than new! -Dave

VTG UNIMAT SL DB 200 LATHE - $465 (Portola district, San Francisco)
Cosmetic condition is Exc/VG. There is some paint wear on top of the tailstock. Please expect some age related issues from at least 50 years of use and shop rash. See photos. Local Pick up, cash only.

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
Between $200-$300 sounds good, but the $327 in shipping looks not so good. Think I'll pass. Got to watch eBay & Amazon now, too, because sometimes they do that as well.? Bill in OKC William R.

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
Looks like a good possibility to me. I'm in the process of trading off my Mini-Lathe, but I can easily 3D-print more mini-lathe gears.?? Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) A human being

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
Some folks want more power even when it's not necessarily a good idea. I've been hanging out with the 7x mini-lathe folks for more than a decade now, and some of those folks have put 2 & 3 HP motors

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
I can think of a couple of solutions. 1) If you've got a little extra clearance in the holes find a brass tube that will slip over the screws and use it a sleeve to guide the screws past the magnets.

I can only think of using strips of wood to keep the bolts away from the magnets. Neil ----- [email protected]> wrote:
