Re: Unimat 3 tool bit size

 

I think I got one imported set from Victor in NY and one set from Harbor Fright locally.? triangulas inserts 221 I think? They work great on 6061, Delrin, brass and acrylic pen blanks.
I do use the A2Z quick change toolpost.? Neat thing with a defferent mount kit it goes on my compact 5 as well.

Re: Unimat box finish

 

Previous owner purchased mine new back in 1969. Box appears to have been stained, oil maybe but couldn't prove it. Definitely no finish as I tested a couple of locations and nothing but wood. Have considered cleaning it up nice and putting a coat of poly on it. Wood is in beautiful condition.


Re: new topic: extended x-axis way bars

 

Thanks group for the sound advice . I’ll contact Tom’s first and proceed accordingly thereafter.

Cheers, Bill


Re: Unimat 3 tool bit size

 

I saw a 5 piece shank set of 1/4" square size with and without the triangle bits. They were in Travers Tool catalog. I also think they were on sale in the last few months. MSC or others will probably also have them. Don't remember the brand but it was made in USA.

Re: Unimat 3 tool bit size

 

Seems like one or more on this group has used 5/16" square (8mm) bits and got away with it. These would add a little stiffness to the game. But 1/4" or 6mm square is the standard.

Re: Unimat box finish

 

It kind of depends on what era your box came from. The MK1 box was came with no stain but was either lacquered or perhaps shelaqued. The blond? boxes were supplied into the die cast era but then were just stained. I have one that came with one of my Uncle's ZAMAC SLs and it was stained and the interior was painted white. I don't know if that white was original or not.

Re: new topic: extended x-axis way bars

 

First off the longitudinal way bars, pillars, what ever are 12mm ground and polished rod. You can get 36" lengths from any outfit that sells O1 precision ground and polished in 12mm. Not too expensive.?The simple solution is to buy the extended woodworking 12mm way bars already correctly drilled and maybe taped for the M6 mounting screws.?Or, design a fixture to drill the holes in extra long lengths of 12mm O1 round bar stock. I don't know what the length of the longer way bars was but I?am sure someone on?this forum can supply that info. A helpful accessory that one vendor sold is a support block made from a alloy bed cut off from the headstock end.

I’m not so worried about the “Good Guys”. ?Down here in Oz recently it is alleged that a very large Asian country has been hacking in to the computers of our government and our major universities, reading e-mails and more, hence my reference to translating into Chinese! ?

Re: Problems posting again?

 

The photos issue drove our members crazy; our members post update photos around the 10th of the month- it helps to encourage each other on those long-term projects.? Yahoo was so erratic, so I'm glad the drama related to the yahoo photos is no longer an issue with my stitching group.?

Re: Problems posting again?

 

The Missing In Action photos was #1 reason I am glad that our group moved to Groups.io.

It was a really easy transfer and now we are past a year, and I'm glad that we did it.? The timing was not good for me from a work perspective, but our members (mostly woman) have managed just fine.?

Jeff, no photos since 2/3/19 and 2/1/19.

Yahoo is exasperating!

Re: new topic: extended x-axis way bars

 

Jeff- As far as I can tell Tom’s only has the standard length way bars. I need parts A2Z 2300 010, #1395 conversion kit.

Machine two square blocks that can clamp on the rods. Assemble blocks and rod on your best surface - a surface plate is ideal. That way, the holes will be aligned when drilled.

Greetings- I need to extend the x-axis way bars on my alloy Unimat to gain length between the headstock and tailstock to be able to turn 2 piece pans/pencils. Getting the right size (10mm?) drill rod and cutting off 2 lengths present no difficulties. My problem is how to ?drill the countersunk mounting bolt holes at either end so that both holes are at the same “time”, say 12 o’clock for example. I worry that using a proper drill press with wooden v-blocks as opposed to precision metal ones aligned to a fence that the holes would not align properly and therefore wouldn’t fit the mounting holes on the basic Unimat frame. I’m sure some of you real machinist out there can give me the advice I need.


Many thanks, Bill in NC
