T rest and gravers?
|
In the files somewhere there is a copy of American Edestal's price list
circa mid 60s complete with B & W pics of most of the accessories. If you are in a hurry to try your hand at turning on the Uni someone once said that they just chucked up a 6" peice of 3/8" round stock in the milling vice attached to the crossfeed and maneuvered the entire jig to work as a very servicable Tee rest. Smaller sized wood turning tools can be purchased from Micromark as well as Woodcraft Supply amongst others. Good luck. Tom Angell |

Sure, it was, two kinds, one long & one short. Expensive to buy on eBay, but easily made.

Hi Tom and all
If you don't have the vise, the boring bar, a length of round stock or square key stock in the tool holder works as well. Not quite as adjustable, but works in a pinch.

Unimat 3. I have made one for myself - just a piece of 1/8" mild steel plate that bolts onto the cross slide that has a collar with a grub screw to take watchmaker sized t-rests. For gravers I use 1/8" toolbits, like this: It is easily one of my most used accessories on the Unimat. Btw - has anyone ever seen one of the Hemingway kits for a sensitive drilling tailstock for the Unimat 3? I would dearly love to have one. Per --- In UNIMAT@..., "tag1260" <tgaran4@...> wrote:

Morning Tom: I made my own rest for gravers from stock scraps on hand-if you need gravers, go to GRS Tools website where you will find anything you might ever need. Good Luck_Edward (Engraverdude)

Come to think of it, I have a flip-over watchmaker's T-rest that could be adapted to the Uni DB/SLs or to the #3/4, which I would be glad to sell for $10 + postage. Email off list.
