Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
Yes. I used your link, and selected three motors. It did not give a total price. Just shipping of $63 and change. If I changed it to two motors it dropped the shipping to about $21. For my purposes, I

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
Hello: Of course. Shipping costs have gone up exponentially in the lat three/four years. From anywhere to anywhere, lotsa $$$. I have found that you have to avoid using *anything* but economy shipping

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
If you look at my album?Keith's DB_SL in Photos you will see the motor type many of us use successfully. I used a 130 W on my SL and it had plenty of power. I can't see why the U3 should need more. I

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
using mine I have used it on a 24v motor for several hours without issue. (it barely gets warm) if you lock the spindle the belts will slip, not sure if this would be the case with a toothed belt

Re: Unimat? parts for sale
Thanks for this! When I first looked at the belts, they seemed like they could be Sherline belts, only a second look showed them to be much too long.? So since they were in the same box as the Unimat
