Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
My local Commercial Sherwin Williams will color match and put it in a spray can, but we are looking at a minimum of 12 cans and $150.... this does not have a hammered finish, so you would have to buy

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
David, your Unimat looks like an "mk4" which requires the "early version" cast iron, tapered bolt, mill adapter. http://www.lathes.co.uk/unimat/page5.html [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Hi Gang: The old style have a bolt with a taper that goes through the stud on the head stock and the milling column. The stud on the head stock rotates to angle the head. The new style the column has

Re: Unimat PC motor
Hi Keith, By any chance could you share the supplier of pulleys for the UNIMAT Pc? My motor pulley gear is kinda worn and need replacing. Thanks! JP

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Hi there, The one I have bought is very old, I think it is the SL. Attached is a photo, maybe I must wait until it arrives before I buy one. Thanks for the tip. Regards David James On Wed, 22 Mar 2023

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Can't help with supplying one but do bear in mind that the column, headstock and milling bracket have two distinct versions. AFAIK you can't mix and match. The earlier column has a tapered hole

I am a new member here and the new proud owner of a Unimat SL, it is an old machine and not complete, it has no vertical column and head stock adapter for milling . I have found a number on Ebay but

Re: Maximum endmill size for U3 / PC Vertical Mill?
Just measured the spindle bore on my Basic - it's an M14 thread so it's no surprise that it is about 10.16 bore, like the U3. If using collets to hold bar or milling cutters it sort-of makes sense to

Re: Maximum endmill size for U3 / PC Vertical Mill?
Thank you all! This makes sense. I am not in a rush for time, so the idea of larger tools and lighter cuts will work well for me! I'll start off with an ER16 and add a 25 or 32 as needed.

Re: Maximum endmill size for U3 / PC Vertical Mill?
You have a PC Basic.? The motors are small.? 3/8 mill should be OK.? For this an ER16 will work.? I have an ER25 set.? The benefit is for holding larger items in the lathe such as tubing.

Re: Maximum endmill size for U3 / PC Vertical Mill?
Hi JP: There isn't any relationship between collet size and accuracy. The limit isn't the size of the cutter, but more the depth of the cut. I would go larger so more tools will fit. I'm in favor of

Maximum endmill size for U3 / PC Vertical Mill?
Hi all, I'm considering? ER16 / ER20 / ER25 collet holder for my PC/Basic vertical mill. Couple of questions: - Is a larger collet holder better for accuracy (eg. larger = less runout?) - Is there a

Re: Case / base for newly acquired PC/basic
Hi Gang: Be sure to seal the surfaces, cutting oil will really sink in plywood or MDF. Steel needs oil not to rust, Formica is my second choice. I like to add a pencil groove to the front edge, I use

How about an extruded aluminium base? I built this for my Sherline (I also did the same for my Cowells). Extremely strong yet still relatively lightweight. YouTube Links: Part 1:
