Re: Looking for some help.
Just a couple of things to note. The eccentricity is not dimensioned on the drawing, but everything points to it being 10 mm, so a 20 mm throw. Also note the radial hole just visible in this picture:

Re: 795, 895 (etc) DC motors
Hi Gang: There are two risks as cutting speed goes up: 1) heat, the tool bit temperature will pass the tool steel's tempering point and will "burn" up the cutter. Carbide can cut red hot chips, High

Re: Looking for some help.
Hi Keith: I have a SL that is great for the small jobs. I also have a Smithy Granite 13x24 that is better for the larger work. But the Unimat is the go to tool for drilling small holes and I have made

Re: Looking for some help.
I would just say that the old DB/SL is pleasantly versatile in use, and I often returned to it with a sigh of relief after working with some of the other small lathes that are around. I now use a U3

Re: 795, 895 (etc) DC motors
I'd say the one on the left was done at a higher cutting speed. However, you are cutting hard brass, which is the easiest stuff to cut. In the comparison of machinability hard brass is the 100% that

Re: Looking for some help.
If I would suggest anything for anyone to buy in a small lathe, it would be a Sherline.? For lathe work, I feel that it is better than a Unimat.? It does not have all of the accessories, but the

Re: Looking for some help.
Hi Charles, I get that, collectors and rarity drive up prices but that's not of any interest or practical use to me. I look at a lathe as a tool. The condition of that tool is important for sure but

Re: 795, 895 (etc) DC motors
There is some combination of speed, feed, and depth of cut that will be most effective for the material, cutter type & material, and desired finish. Which is only important for those who are doing

Something's "worth" is not what one individual thinks (except to that individual) whether it be something exceptionally low (usually a buyer) or exceptionally high (usually a seller).? Rather, it is

I know you all are going to hate me for this, but I was able to purchase a Unimat Jigsaw/fret saw at an estate sale for $4.00 and a Unimat Table saw at the same sale for $3.00 (I later found the

Re: Unimat 3
Keith, I got rid of the two DB200 motors I had. Too noisy for me. Replaced them with DC scooter moters instead. Much more quiet and variable speed and reversing as well. --

Re: Unimat 3
For the lower speed power is fed via a diode, so giving the motor half the voltage, although that doesn't mean it runs at half the speed. Often the diode blows and low speed no longer works. It's not
