I can’t say as I never tried to do that. I’d bet one or more members can definitively answer your question though. There are a lot of images so i suspect the full set would be quite large to download.

Re: New unimat member-circular saw arbor
Thanks for that. I didn't know there was a files section. Very useful. Is there a way to download all of the files in one go? So I can read them at my leisure.?

Guys I was wondering is there much difference between motors? In particular which is best between the common U90 and the later 7750. I have a choice, Both motors are 240v versions.?

Thanks for that. Brilliant thought.Simple is good usually! LBS On Tue, 25 Feb 2020, 12:23 KENNETH MURRAY-TAYLOR via Groups.Io, <kenmurraytaylor= [email protected]> wrote:
Hi
Couldn't you rig up a counter-weight system to lift the head. It would be cheap, easy to make, easy to adjust and sensitive as you want.

I did something similar to your vertical dial indicator attachment. I had a spare vertical milling column so I tapped a single hole on the top end and use that to hold a dial indicator for vertical measurements. I have been using it for years.

Thanks.? I agree that a hole in a column works.? Please note however: the vertical indicator arrangement that I made uses no holes or modifications to the Unimat.? The indicator holder is on a sliding shaft collar, so that you can move it up and down to match the head position. The bar across the motor mount uses tiny clamps, but no holes. At one time, "hkoesnadi", made a Unimat dial indicator holder that clamped across the bed with 2 wingnuts.? I can use a simple 2" travel dial indicator along the bed.? Digital long indicators seem expensive.?? The method of using a simple long digital stick gives the most range.? However, I have a hard time coming up with an easy mounting arrangement and no "slop".

Ebay hkoesnady QC Tool Post
That guy ships immediately. I ordered this on Friday aft I think it was, right after seeing it in a posting here. I got it today.
All the parts are cleanly and sharply machined, threads are clean and smooth, and the tops of the bit grooves level right even with the point of a dead center in the spindle.
As a railroad equipment modeler and fairly infrequent user of my Unimat this tool post set seems like a good value addition to my tooling. Seven well machined blocks of aluminum for $100, under $15 per piece.

Hi Martin,
I did a search for Kerkelie and did not come up with anything related to tool holders. Only a city in France. Do I possibly have the spelling wrong?

If you don’t buy one from Levin you will save even more!

The smallest ones are kind of too small for a Unimat.

Re: Unimat SL Circular Saw Arbor
Looks like I am wrong, $5.91 cheaper and both have free shipping in the USA.

have a go at making my own but I need dimensions. Does anyone have
the arbor they could take some measurements from please?

I was lucky enough to have found a miniature Kirkelie QCTP with three holders. The toolpost is about the same size as the Unimat original TP. Plus it is made of steel.

Lol. I used the 4-way toolpost on my mini lathe for many years. It’s on a Hobbymat now.
?
Here is a homemade toolpost, sort of copied from a Tripan, that I sometimes use on the Unimat. It’s a nice design that’s great when there’s not much space. Real ones seem to sell for a lot more than I want to spend, and I don’t think there are any cheaper copies being imported.
?
It’s a lot more robust than the regular piston design but not more complicated to make. OldToolmaker’s will be simpler to make than either one.
?
I like the standard Unimat toolpost, too! But ones like lantern/rocker toolposts but with an adjusting ring aren’t bad, either.
