Unimat Classic

Product Information

but the solution to all of this is to buy 4mm round belting that you can make up your self (eg Whitsales UK) I will defer to anyone who has good experience with a Unimat 1 but, personally, unless the price is really low (and your expectations are modest) I would point you toward a 'proper' small second-hand lathe or a Dremel kit (Proxxon if the budget allows). American machines all appear to have been delivered in a rather splendid fitted wooden box - while European customers, apart from those sold during the mid to late 1950s, had to be content with finest-quality cardboard. If you see a box for sale be aware that those for the very first models - the Mk. 1a at just over 12-inches long - were smaller than those for later machines. Most of the first boxes had nicely bevelled vertical corners, until at some point during SL1000 production , this was stopped, probably as an economy measure. Accessory boxes of the time were very distinctive with a turquoise (or teal) blue-and-white label with "Emco" spelled out in a diagonal line, a 'circle M' logo and "Made in Austria" printed underneath in small letters. Based on your figures I would choose the 17A 400W supply. But if there is a massive price difference between that and the 15A 360W I'd probably buy that one, knowing that I wouldn't be using it flat out all the time. Avoids the necessity to short rig mobile cranes on small mats to lift traditional larger mats into position

The set includes comprehensive instructions plus DVD. The Unimat classic is just the start of your own home workshop. There are many optional accessories to expand the system further to customise your requirements. The product also comes with a 5 year warranty (excluding parts subject to normal wear and tear) Made in AustriaLooking at the spec sheet for the motor, for max torque (ie just at stall point) the motor delivers 267W of output power for which it needs 387W of input power.

For model-making professionals and technicians who wish to produce precise workpieces with an accuracy of up to 3/100mm, we recommend the UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC from CoolTool®. The fittings provided allow for horizontal and vertical milling in woods, plastics, metals and many other materials. An HSS milling cutter is included but you can use virtually any commercially available milling cutters up to a fixing diameter of 6mm. Mill Data: Longitudinal travel: 50mm, Cross travel: 30mm (expandable with optional accessories)The UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC opens new dimensions in applications and precision. In addition to the machines found in the BASIC unit, the UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC will amaze you with functions seen only in larger, more expensive lathes and mills The sanding disc provides the perfect finish to your parts after cutting and shaping. The sander can also be detached for hand held use. Disc size: 50mm Jigsaw Due to the wide range of available accessories, an endless array of other machine tools can be constructed. For the UNIMAT 1 professionalist, a gear mill for building gear wheels is only the beginning. The system even allows for the possible construction of a spiral mill. The extensive information materials enable the interested user to take the first steps into the world of professional machine engineering.

including postage for 1m. I cut the belt to length so that it will be barely tight, heat the ends (I have made a blade the fits in my 40W soldering iron, but most people use a cigarette lighter or micro-flame torch) and I then press them together. After a half a minute or so, it will have cooled to allow the raggedy bits to be trimmed off with a sharp scalpel. The belt is available in various diameters and the 3mm will work just as well, particularly for the auto-feed, if you have one. " It all depends on what you expect to do with a lathe. This is a tool designed to be safe as a child's first serious workshop tool. It will not do any heavy work but it will do light jobs with a good level of controlability, and this may be adequate for your needs. It will not have a long life. For additional machine variations, the UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC kit contains the components necessary for building-up to a stationary drilling machine, a metal turning machine, and a horizontal and vertical mill. It also comes with a construction plan book, and the UNIMAT 1 handbook.Additional information is sought about early Unimats: should you have access to 1950s technical and publicity material the writer would be delighted to hear from you.
