Hello Norm, When cutting the dove tail one side at a time with the center already milled don't forget about changing direction of the cutting when you change sides. What I am getting at is never use

Although I have two Monarch 10EEs, a Hardinge TL, and a Logan 820, the DB/SL (I have one of each) still has a place in my shop: whenever very small workpieces require machining. Pins, and such. My SL

I have a 9x20, three 7xs, and a 12x36 in use, and still use my DB200 that I've had for 50 years. Think before you sell it, unless you really need the room, the money, or domestic tranquility. Mert

I actually was rather aggressive in the cut/tooth rate, and may or may not have used tapping fluid to lubricate the tool. I was cutting a dovetail for an adjustable tool holder for a lathe. I was also

On the DB/SL I don't see the use of it, since I think that most of the flex is in the way bars. Harvey

I made a wooden pattern & had a cast iron base made for my DB200. This enabled me to add a few features. First, I moved the column base from the HS end to the middle of the bed, making the milling

Harvey & Mert, Thanks for the replies. If used in small increment, with cutting fluid (on AL) and careful feeding rate vs speed, this dovetail cutter should last me for many years to come I hope. This

Hi Norm, First, trench out the majority of the dovetail with a plain endmill. Go to the full width of the top of the dovetailed slot, and leave maybe 0.1mm on the bottom. This way the dovetail cutter

For cutting an inside dovetail, one with the walls slanting in, about the only way to cut it is to cut a slot for the shaft first, then use the dovetail cutter. For an outside dovetail, with the walls

Hmmm, I have a 7x lathe (Chinese made) and a unimat SL-1000. Although the 7x is much larger than the unimat, they each have their places. I've heard people say that neither lathe is worth anything

I have found rock maple, a very hard, dense close grained wood, to machine very nicely with the high speeds available on the Unis. Soft woods tend to tear & gum up. at the moment, I'm cutting the

To cut dovetail slots, first use an ordinary endmill to cut most of the metal away. Then cut the DT one side at a time. On the Uni, this is best done in small increments. Brass is easier to cut, as a

Hello all..I'm new to the group & have a question. Has anyone filled in the lathe bed with lead to add weight & mass ? If so, how did it work- out & was it worth doing ? "OJ"
