Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?
Jeff The ER collets are easy to spot from the E. The ER have a groove in them at the widest part that goes all the way around them . On the inside of the nut is a "snap" ring that this groove snaps

Re: Unimat SL - fret saw attachment
Green hammer tone would date it as about mid 1965 or a little later. The last of the MK4 lathes had the same green as the early die cast ZAMAC SLs. They were introduced in the MK2a era and came in
