these are not carbide, they have what seems to be HSS inserts (could also be cheap metal for the price) here is the photos of the tooling I got, its what I could find to have a bit of a range with

Definitely not a lathe to pop out on the kitchen table on a winter evening. I hope he didn’t cut the bed out from a running line one dark night! I’m sure it’s very rigid but 120lbs to the yard

If by "inert tools", do you mean carbide?? I wouldn't use carbide on the unimat, and certainly not for wood.? Ok, maybe, but I would grind them myself, so that they were actually sharp, like one

The photo is at a bad angle, it is parallel. I also put a punch mark where the indicator meets the carriage so it will not slip off or move.

** photos added ** The 2nd version of the RapidDrive is a vast improvement and I recommend it to anybody who might try to use a Unimat for multiples that requires a lot of handwheel spinning. It's

Hello: Indeed ... The device is very ingenious, thanks for posting that.? 8^) Best, JHM

Understood ! It was threading that started me doing all of the modifications. But along the way I have a nice mechanism to control backlash on the lead screw….which was what I wanted to share. Good

Hello: Yes. I'm still waiting for my M8x1 LH tap which would seem to have been lost in the mail. Now I get it. I have both the thread cutting gears (150 250) and the lathe threading attachment (150

Please consider making the shaft of the indicator parallel to the bed.? Otherwise the end of a 2" travel indicator might miss the end of the carriage. Re the use of a tire gauge, a 2" indicator can

Kevin that is neat using a tire tread depth gauge.?After looking at the aluminum one, that might be a great project to start on once I get the Unimat in tip-top shape, I can already envision how I

to be perfectly honest i always just fitted a bit of 1/4" bar into the tool holder when i needed a steady rest for hand turning on the unimat.

this is the type of thing I was talking about with ways cloth (tho this one is more cardboard) cut it a little bigger the the ways and mount it on both sides of the carriage to protect them but the

Welcome to the group Bill's Workbench! 3d printing is great for accessories and such for the unimat and it's awesome that you're sharing your creations I have a digital indicator from Ebay seller

Congratulations on your first pen. Re #2: If using a Unimat to turn wood, you should cover the ways, and more importantly, the leadscrew that moves the carriage. You don’t need anything fancy, as an

Hi the normal lead screw is LH. the method that I went for for screw cutting was a chain drive from the chuck drive. That requires a RH thread on the lead screw. Which is very helpful……. It’s

Hi: Keep your vacuum handy, or even attach to the tool post. Carl.

Please refer to this photo of my Unimat vertical post which I included in a recent message.? There is an aluminum bracket holding a dial indicator clamped across the two bars of the bed with two

Carl, maybe that would work if I incorporated the mount in a riser for the headstock. ?Humm, maybe version 2.
