Dummy me, I grabbed some screen shots of the bracket and post but no grab of the listing with the seller’s name. I’d kind of like to buy one if possible. I think I remember seeing mention of this on this group a year ago (almost) and then went to ebay to find the listing.
Thanks hopefully,

I didn't know Grimm was on Netflix... if it is still on during the summer we will binge watch it again.? I liked all the gadgets in the show, would be fun to make them in miniature...
The Unimat is also on display at the Kansas City Toy & Miniature Museum, and master Miniaturist Wm Robertson is using it for their informational interactive video at the museum.

It is easy. Turn the scroll until the jaws are free. They are numbered
1,2,3. Turn them around. Watch the scroll for the start of the thread
and put the jaws back in 3,2,1. Run the jaws to the center, if you did
right the jaws will all get there at the same time.

??? "Be careful what you wish for...You may get it!"?? A
professional machinist friend scored a 10 HP industrial lathe at a
good price. Set it up in his garage with a rotary converter and
started working. Was horrified when he got his first bill. Set it
up running and went to see the meter spin as a blur! Sold the
machine to an industrial user!??? ??? Bill in Boulder CO USA

The voltage doesn't matter - it's the power that counts. I reckon
for the DB/SL and U3 about 100 to 150 watts is fine. I wouldn't go
for more. The treadmill motors I see on Ebay are much higher
power, inconveniently high voltage and too high on price. The
typical 24 V scooter motors like Ebay item 174101982818 is very
suitable. 24 volts is easy to work with, the motor fits in the
available space (both DB/SL & U3), 120 watt is all the power
you need and it's affordable.

Look at motors for invalid/elderly scooters. They're mostly 24 VDC, compact, and quite powerful. They can push a 300 lb person up a hill!
Hi Keith
Thanks for the reply.
What is the actual size is the motor that comes with the Unimat PC.
I was thinking of putting a 24v DC motor is as they are very popular, but if they are too big it's a no-go.

here in Cleveland we have HGR a resale place from lathes to pieces. I have both the controllers for my SB 10H and others I can reduce my speed to 5 revs, but you better get one rater more than you AC one I ended putting on a 2 HP motor to replace my 3/4hp on on the 10. Dave
