Re: unimat 3d model project
If you are going to post a drawing please consider/remember a couple of things: 1) Let every body know what your basic drawing units are, inches, millimeters, cubits - whatever.? Not everybody uses

Re: unimat 3d model project
/g/Unimat/files/Unimat_SL_Tailstock_Ram.pdf I found that in the files section here last night, not sure if you've come across it/if that helps you any. I gave in and brought mine to

Re: Unimat 3 Paint Color
Yesterday I went to the automotive paint store. The part that I brought in was too small for them to scan it. It was an arm off of the threading attachment. I now know that something larger is needed

Re: unimat 3d model project
I had trouble with CAD models I was sending out until I discovered a setting in my CAD which defines the units used. (The range runs from ?ngstroms to Parsecs, which seems a bit ridiculous.)

For the record, I'm not an 'activist', just a normal person with normal concerns about what we're leaving behind for future generations. And you have absolutely no right to tell me what I should or

Re: unimat 3d model project
I think you got it. Sounds like I need to do a test print. Thanks!!! I have a drawing from a fellow on youtube that has the dimensions of all the other parts of the tailstock. I have asked his

Re: unimat 3d model project
Or maybe you were saying that's what it should be.? In that case, yea I believe so.? from the model I show it to be 35.946.? some googling says it should be 1.42" (36.068).? Not sure how close is

Re: unimat 3d model project
I haven't measured anything from mine yet, just using files already out there.? Are you saying 36mm (and that model) is wrong?

Re: unimat 3d model project
Thanks! I¡¯m not sure¡­ the distance from the top of the arch that sits on the way bar to the center of the quill hole (vertical distance) should be the center height of a Unimat. That is 36mm.

Re: unimat 3d model project
Try "Tail Stock v2" in the files, see if that works for you

Yes, that¡¯s the one. I never thought of METERS. LOL if you can Rick, please do post a ¡®big enough to see¡¯ version.

Re: unimat 3d model project
I opened the stl one that is in the files section and it was also in meters, so I think multiplying by 1000 will get you to the right scale.

Re: unimat 3d model project
and I guess to be sure, are you talking about the linked onshape one?

Re: unimat 3d model project
try x1000 When I open it, it says its "units" are in meters.? Should the bore/hole be 12mm?? That's what I show. I can export it and upload it here if that helps

Re: unimat 3d model project
I tried it Mike, but it comes out half inch high. This is what the stl viewer shows: (I use it all the time so I trust it)

Re: unimat 3d model project
That's great! I wanted to do some things like that, but! First, I was a stupid young punk in 1969 when I had a class in mechanical drawing, and blew it off. Over the last dozen or so years, I've tried

Re: unimat 3d model project
Beware of the tailstock. I started working on it and it is TINY¡­ less than a millimeter in all directions. Just a dot when imported into Tinkercad. Now I need to figure out how to scale it properly.
