Hi Welcome to the Group First I should warn you that the last member admitting to owning a Uni Classic has I believe left the building in a bit of a huff. However this is a new year, and I assume as

Has anyone made gear hobs according to the instructions in chapter two in the "Making the Most of the Unimat" book by Rex Tingey? For those of us not at that level yet, is there a good source of gear

Adjustable Tool Post for the Unimat SL-1000
