If you have the Uni already, it is not a difficult project (for a watchmaker) to build an 8mm WW spindle for it, yourself.. Mert mertbaker@...

FWIW Back in the 80s, Don Gordon writing in MODEL ENGINEER in England had a four or five part series on making a lathe w/o another lathe. It had a treadle drive and used a piece of T-bar as lathe bed.

Hi Al Taig make a #1020 WW Spindle Cartridge that is shown on the same page as the link for your 1040 Collet Attachment. It is however larger in diameter and shorter than the original Uni WW spindle,

Hi Jan There are a couple of pics of the thread former and follower in the "Photos" section in an album "Unimat SL/DB Thread Formers", with a reference to msg #11593 for the dimensions. There is also

these appear from time to time on eBay. Mert mertbaker@...

Easiest is a 20mm spacer. You can face a piece of 1" round stock on both ends, and thru drill it 6mm. Mert mertbaker@...

Hi Al, I'm also looking for the same thing. Are you also a watchmaker? Cheers, Alex Ptak To: UNIMAT@...: athompson4@...: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 05:02:08 +0000Subject: [UNIMAT]

I guess I'm a few years late in trying to fine a dedicated 8mm watchmakers collet sllindle for an SL1000. Any assistance will be appreciated. I really need one OR the dimentional drawing of one. Thank

What are people using to hold tools when the headstock is raised? Seems to be by 20mm. Barry

You don't have to make but one pattern holder. You may have to make an adapter for each bolt (pattern) you want to use. The adapters allow you to use any bolt with the right thread, and they are

A hand crank makes threading on the Uni a lot easier, but with the slow speed attachment, it goes pretty well. Mert mertbaker@...

I purchased a 6 inch 4 jaw chuck from one of the advertisers we all know and had to get a backing plate elsewhere. After setting the backing plate up in the lathe to get to the correct diameter I set

Mert, Would it be a good alternative to use a 3 jaw chuck as the pattern holder (to hold the headless bolt) instead of having to make a new pattern holder for different bolt sizes. Atually, no need to

IMO, the standard threading attachment patterns are overly complicated, and require a lot of setup time. I think there's a better way. Here is what I would do, based on the way it's done on the Uni 3.

When I got my SL1000 it came with a threading attachment. Unfortunatley there were no thread patterns included. After watching them go for what I consider to be pretty stiff prices on ebay I thought

I think you've got it right in what yo have said. One thing that I did not know till I heard it on this forum is that you don't power the spindle, you turn it by hand using a crank at the far end of

I thought this thread had been terminated. Lot of libs on this list. Mert mertbaker@...

You will also need a T-nut to fit the slot - a simple solution seems to be a "M6X1.0 Bridge Weld Nut" - they are available from http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=0124608 and probably

I don't post here often. I respectfully request that a moderator kill this thread. I come here to relax and learn about Unimat lathes and their uses. I get more than my belly full of this kind of
