Julius and John,? You're welcome to the articles. The PDFs are of individual issues so rather than trying to screenshot the articles it's easier to send the whole issue - who knows; there might be

I would also appreciate a scan.? Thanks for any help

Hello: Indeed ... The issue with the "Unimat 3 Split Nut Lead Screw Clutch" article is from 07/2005 (#107 p.44) and issue with the "Friction Dial Handwheels for the Unimat 3" article (photo I posted)

As luck would have it I have MEW in PDF formal - I must look up those issues. Thanks for the heads-up Clive

In Trade School I learned how to grind a lathe tool free hand on a pedestal grinder. I still use this skill today. We learned to hand grind to within one degree of angle and maintain a single facet.

Hello: It seesm to have been done by a chap called Maurice Rhodes. Published in Model Engineer Workshop magazine #107 and #112. The only available source and rather expensive proposition just to have

Hello: A closer look does not improve things much. (see attached blow-up) But yes, it would seem (?) that it is just a motorised carriage leadscrew. I was hoping that someone had devised a relatively

I have a Hector lathe which is based on the Unimat 3 and have thought about converting it to rack and pinion drive for the carriage as all that twirling of the leadscrew? handwheel is a nuisance.

So tell us who this Chinese supplier is.

Hi Gang: I made my own cut-off tool from a 1/4" tool bit. I plunged ground off a 1/2" from the end to 0.04", been using it for 50 years. Carl. PS: I use my Unimat to resize my model railroad wheels.

Hello: Long time no see. 8^) Absence due to having been busy with a number of things, quite a few of them directly related to putting my U3 in order. Others less so, but such is life. In the course of

Now for Bill or anyone here, my goal is not to make tools or fail miserably.? I just want to do things for my model trains. So I follow what I have noted before:? buy what you can, and then make

With milling column, chuck and quill lever it is 11.05 kg. This one has original induction motor.

Best of all would to be to make our own. :) Trying to do that, even if you fail miserably and repeatedly, is educational. ;) Thomas Edison is reported to have said?‘Results! Why, man, I have gotten

I looked at the Komet, 2.3mm wide, 110 euro. You can buy a Sherline cutoff tool only 1mm wide.? Kaiser Thinbit goes down to .025.? Arthur R. Warner sells 1/32 and 1/64.? All are US made.? So for
