Re: Looking for a DB 200 part
You could try Busy Bee Tools, Princess Auto or Summit Tools. And obviously RONA, Lowe's and Home Depot. Someone may have parts or taps and dies Neil

Re: Looking for a DB 200 part
Hi Bill, thanks for the information. Yes, it's the same bolt, unfortunately for me 2 are required. I'll look on Amazon Canada for the set. Thanks again Cheers SL [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Looking for a DB 200 part
Isn't that the same part that holds the headstock in the lathe body? Look on the far left end of your lathe, and you should have it. See the attached photos.? If not, it's an M12-1 metric thread.

Re: Looking for a DB 200 part
Actually, thinking about it, you need the same bolt for the headstock casting to lock in the base. If you already have that, it's the same bolt.

This one? eBay item number: 115251100299 GBP 8.00 plus postage. Or an M12x1 die? https://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/12MM-X-1-SPLIT-DIE--CARBON--537fine.html (29 pence more, but you can make as many

Re: Unimat 3 and rust
Hello: Granted. But this is not the case and I don't think it will be. I hope to use it often and well. In case I have to store the U3 temporarily, the plastic box in one of my posts should do well

Re: Unimat 3 and rust
WD-40 it self won't work well for long-term storage. Looks like you're pretty close to the water there, so I'd expect you have pretty high humidity most of the time. They do make a rust preventative,

Re: Unimat 3 and rust
Hello: Thanks for the heads up. The rust remover I use is a water based phosphor acid remover like Boeshield Rust Free. I have gone ahead with my experiment and it seems to work but only time will

Neil, Is the Unimat your only lathe or do you have others? Dick

Re: Unimat 3 - solving some issues
Those hand wheels are very nice but a little too large for a Unimat.

These are 63 mm unfortunately. Otherwise they'd be great I think. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000229983406.html Neil -----

What do you have in the way of shop equipment other than your Unimat? What do you have in the way of materials to work with?? If you have a hacksaw, some files and a caliper you can make stuff you

Re: Unimat 3 - solving some issues
I've fitted re-settable handwheels to my U3 - and wouldn't be without them. Far easier to use than the supplied ones. Some will scoff as they're plastic but I've had no problems.See here. | | | | | |

Re: Unimat 3 - solving some issues
You have a lathe now. My suggestion is to make your own hand wheels to suit you and the way you work. You can also get digital linear travel scales that will read in metric and imperial. Dick
