Thanks Steve! FWIW, nothing on the bracket was milled. Drill press, bandsaw, sanders, drills and taps are all that were used to fab the bracket. Kevin Groenke human of planet earth

BTW, your milled mount looks awesome. Hope to get to that skill level someday.

Thanks! My very long bucket list has lots of things related to making/building/fixing/modifying that I might only do a few times, but it feels good to attempt it, hopefully succeed, maybe find a new

Cool! I commend your iniative to undertake your own casting Steve! When I swapped in a Foredom motor, I fabbed it out of 1/2" aluminum plate.

Beautiful knives! Thanks for sharing another example of what is possible with these little machines. Very inspiring.

I'm a new Unimat owner, and I've only turned a few pieces with Delrin rod. I'm pretty ambitious about getting into more serious turning, but I have zero knowledge about the art/craft of creating and

I found a video detailing the conversion which I'll try to find. Motor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0831RKJ6K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Power Supply:

Thanks Dick! At this point I'll use whatever wood species clients ask for! Generally the balance and feel of the knives is better with denser wood species, so I'm mostly using woods that are quite

Nice handles!? I know the Unimat can bite, but I'd much rather have it do that then my Logan or Clausing!? I was turning between centers a few days ago and forgot about the dog arm spinning

What DC motor will you use? Jeff

Yes, I did use a Taig tailstock. I made an adapter for it. Works well.

Nice project!? I've had a furnace in the works for about 5 years now, but I keep needing to work on other things, so I forget about it until I'd like to cast something, then realize I can't yet.?

Did you use a Taig tailstock, it looks like it? Jeff

Thanks Jay, I'm going to look back at your cnc posts! I would love to get a CNC machine set up with either another Unimat or a similar format machine. Interestingly, I don't know if CNC would improve

Hi Kevin, You have a couple of fine examples of the Unimat DB200 and produce some beautiful works of art. What variety’s of wood do you use for your products? Just curious. I have quite a collection

I have almost two complete Unimat SLs, yet to be installed in my new micro shop (that is waiting to be built..). The 2nd machine, which I will set up for milling, will have a dc motor installed. I've

Hey Gents and Tamra. has Anyone got or had in their hands the eccentric drive component from the rectangular alloy fret saw and the round cast iron models? My last fret saw was an alloy rectangular

Very well said! They would not be sufficient for any number of things I'd want or need to do all by themselves. They are, however quite sufficient for many other things I would want or need to do. And

Hi Kevin, I have a couple of post in this forum about converting one of my two DB200 to CNC. It's not that difficult to do and would probably be a good fit for your application. Jay

I've been using 2) DB200's for a couple of years for light production of small brass hardware (~2000 pieces to date) for the knives I make. I've researched and considered many other lathes and
