Watched a short Unimat video where the operator advances spindel instead of the cross slide to turn down a small part. Very efficient. https://youtube.com/shorts/OO0_LObYHh8?si=qcS9be79qkBnPgeP

Hi Keith: I had a similar idea for Braces: Six braces on a rack with tools in place: 1) Straight blade screwdriver 2)90° counter sink 3) 1/8" to 3/4" tapered reamer 4) Pipe reamer 5) 1/4" hex

Some years ago I went to a proper village fete, where there was a stall selling second hand tools. I picked up a small Record vice for ?5, and also noticed a bunch of hacksaws - five for ?5. At the

I have one of those, it is the 10" model. Simple to make blades for it, Just cut off a modern one to size and drill the hole.?Jeff

I acquired an old Union hacksaw frame some years ago having a wood turned handle. I like the feel of the single wood handle. The saw frame is shorter than most modern hack saws but is very well

OK, thanks. I was under the perception that some other method of threading was being used rather than the profilers.

You can also use a nut and bolt having the desired thread lead. Metric or Imperial your choice. Dick -- http://www.homemadetools.net/ forum/ OFF-

Same way. It just will be moving very slowly. Best Regards, Andrei mailto:calciu1@... ________________________________ Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 9:50 AM To: OldToolmaker

By using the unimat pattern following devise to guide the cutter.

OK so I can see how you could tap with that, but how would you Single Point?

Here's the hand crank I made for my Unimat last fall. I haven't used it yet. Tim in VT

Thanks Phil!

Here are a couple of entries from the group 'Files' : This was a suggested design from a group member - don't know if it was ever constructed - based on the threading idea of Doug

Hi Neil: There are only about 10mm of exposed thread with the standard nut off. My VW Bug had lock nuts on the front spindles that were split and had a clamping screw for closing the split. That is
