Hi Carlos, did you manage to buy this and modify the backplate so everything runs well?

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
That is not lazy, it's smart. Though you should be able to make a rotary broaching tool for the Unimats, as a number of folks have for mini-lathes.?

Hi All, Such a wealth of information in all your replies. Much appreciation to all :) I have much to think about when I sit down to design it this week. I'm considering a combination of wood (with

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Because Emco changed the colors all the time, the only source for the original color sits on the Unimat you want to paint.? If someone already paint a different color on it before, you wil never find

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
I agree with Ruben. I also have 3 db200/SLs and they're all different shades of green. And all of their motors are a different shade of green or blue green than the lathes they came with.? Paint them

Hello Dave: I would tap the end M6 and Loktite a M6 SHCS in. I'm lazy like that. Carl.

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Ruben, Thank you very much for the link to that website. I managed to buy the vertical column. He unfortunately does not ship out of Europe so I sent it to a friend in the Netherlands for now. Will

Re: Rustoleum Green Hammered
Here i have 3 unimat's, all total different tint green. Because I don't think there is a true tint green, I can choose my own color. Black it is

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
I once had an SL E16 collet chuck that had a big run-out. Turned out to be a bent headstock spindle, once I fitted a replacement all was fine. Paul B.

Rolling your own is easy, unless you want the internal hex, then it becomes a real challenge! -Dave

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Interested in the solution for this as well! I'm about to purchase some ER collet chucks but unsure if I should get one with backplate (will allow more flexibility if it's untrue) vs a directly

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Can you post a picture of the chuck? Not all of them use a back plate. I have three or four which run badly, and only one uses a back plate. There are a lot of ER collet holders which have the right

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
If you look?in Files?for Locking Screw DB501-8.pdf that is my drawing of the screw, and my version of it using a hex head instead of a socket head. I made one according to this drawing, with the hex

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Just looked at the specs for a Taig Micro Lathe II, should do it just fine! If I'd been able to lay hands on one, I'd have bought the earlier version when I started my serious lathe hunt. Newish HF

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
You can get taps & dies in M12-1 from Amazon, and make your own, if you want. Seems to me me I saw allthread in M12-1, as well. Didn't buy that, since I got the tap & die. ;) Bill in OKC??William R.

Re: Unimat SL - Vertical column & Headstock Adapter
Sorry, I must have missed adding the last photo. When looking for a milling column, if it's not obvious ask the seller to send you a photo of the locking bolt on the headstock adapter. This is one for

Re: Unimat 3 Collet Chuck backing plate
Hello Andy: You don't need a new back plate. Just take the chuck off the plate you have and return the face and register of the old back plate. When you put the chuck back on it should run true. If
