Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Hello Dick,
I am always interested in original parts if you know on an original one and other parts please let me know. I will need a lot of things still for this lathe as it was pretty bare. Dave

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Hi
Gang:
Runout
on a independent 4 jaw is a non problem. You adjust the jaws
to true the part anyway.
You can
check the runout of the face of the chuck. If it is bad then
you can stone the back of the chuck to make it run truer. I
did this for my ER32 chuck.
Carl.

Quality chucks are available from sherline.com and can be ordered
threaded to fit M12 x 1 DB/SL lathes.
The price for a 2.5" independent four jaw chuck, threaded M12 x 1,
from Sherline is $131.04.
The only concern I would have is, since the chuck is pre-threaded
without a faceplate, there would be no way to correct any runout
if the Uninat DB/SL spindle is not perfectly threaded.

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Is what I did. LOOKS really good. Haven't finished the refurb, so can't tell how good it really is. There is enough metal there you could skim off much of the back of the chuck, and make a? back plate for it, too.?

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
True, that. Only thing that would matter is if it's at an angle to the axis of the spindle. Might be able to fix that by skimming the back of the chuck, or the flange on the spindle. Or even cleaning those surfaces.?

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Dick,
I bought the after market one as it is cheap, I am sure it will not be anywhere near an original.?

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Hello, Dave!
Are you hoping to purchase an original Unimat 4 jaw chuck? Or an aftermarket version?

Re: 4 jaw chuck M12 x 1 thread
Hi Dave
?
You can get new 4 jaw chucks with the M12x1 thread on eBay or from importers.? RDG Tools have an M12x1 independent 4 Jaw chuck for ?49.50 incl VAT.?
? It appears to be one of the Indian made ones which may not be nicely finished are at least solid and reliable. (I really regret selling mine
to fund tooling for my son’s mini-lathe).
?
I would be very nervous to use one of the Chinese die-cast chucks seen on eBay.

?
My lathe came without a 4 jaw chuck and I would like to buy one. What is the going price for one of the older ones with the M12 x 1 adaptor. There is one for $235 before postage on ebay but that is more than I paid for my lathe and it seems
a bit expensive. Would appreciate some pointers, thank you

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Dear rcjge, I am not brave enough to paint my unimat pink, although I love Pink....
I only have male decendents and would love for my tools to stay in the family, (if hmmm.... if I should die before I wake),
so I will keep them the correct colors.? Now, if I ever make a 1/12th scale miniature of a unimat, then?
it would be incredibly fun to paint my own lathe pink...? These are long into the future projects though, If I am healthy and?
don't get an expiration date, I'm working for 10-11 years.... at some point in time in those 10-11 years,??the plan will be to take the summers off and?
then I can dig into some real projects without being interrupted to work.
It is still soooo busy at work, no time to play during the day and make phone calls.? Mica is pretty easily found though.
1/4 oz of clear Mica flakes is $7 on Amazon, I might test this too.? I can't paint right now, it is way too cold here to even contemplate painting anything.
And the class / workshop season starts at the end of April, where I'm scheduled for classes in April, May and June this year, so I won't be painting until this summer.

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Pink is indeed a powerful colour Tamara.
most boys/men are afraid of it.
I have running jacket that’s bright pink and New Balance trainers with Lavender trim.
paint one of your lathes pink I say.?
one of my race bikes was bright pink for a couple seasons…

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Reminds me of a Mercury Cyclone a friend of mine had.? One of the small panels on the front of the car somehow got a large scrape on it and needed to be repainted.? Sounds easy, but the paint was an aftermarket metal flake.? Getting the color right was easy for the shop, but getting the metal flake to look right took at least three reapplications.? Variables:? flake color, flake size, flake density, angle of the flakes within the paint.? They all make a difference.??
