Re: Need Unimat DB/SL parts or accessories?
Good afternoon, I have my SL in pieces on the bench in front of me and have obtained the following measurements using digital calipers. The part in question is 51.5mm long, being split 23.3mm for the

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 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.)

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
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
