Re: Turning Wood
I turn more wood and plastic on mine that any other materials. Steel and Ali I normally do on my larger machines.

Re: Just bought a DB200, need a motor. (Doesnt have to be an EMCO).
Hi needed to change the motor on my Unimat SL as it kept tripping the power. I bought a 12v DC motor and a cheap PWM speed controller for it. I 3D printed a pulley for the motor so I could turn a new

Re: Just bought a DB200, need a motor. (Doesnt have to be an EMCO).
You'll be way happier with the 24 VDC conversion. They have comfortable power and run cool. The power supply and switching speed control are not expensive. And replacement motors are inexpensive. Neil

Re: Turning Wood
Thanks for the tip, Carl. I seldom work with plastic, but will remember you advise if I do cut plastic. I do have a speed controller and can adjust the speed down to a crawl if needed. Larry

Re: Turning Wood
Why not John! If it works - do it! I've used my U3 for woodturning but I just used a standard metal-turning HSS tool (well-sharpened) which gave a perfectly good finish though I did have to hold a

Re: Turning Wood
There is nothing inherently wrong with using a metal lathe to turn wood.? And, interestingly, the Unimat even has an accessory or two related to cutting wood. HOWEVER, wood chips and dust contain

Re: Turning Wood
Hi Nate I would guess that the stigma has to do with the wood dust getting into the bearings? as you can see from my photo i covered everything as best i could to keep the chips and dust contained. I

Re: Turning Wood
Hi John, Nice work, a handle? I totally get your sentiment with the "wood" thing. But it brings to mind the question I've long had about the source of the stigma? I have my opinions, but I would love

Hi Larry: The table saw can be run slow so it doesn't melt plastic parts. Carl.

Hi Keith: Add a line switch or just unplug it. In trade school we had to shut the mills off at the wall during setups. If swarf is a problem tape over the openings. Most of our cuts are short, but if
