    Default A Green Unimat3

    Never seen the Unimat3 in green. Anyway some nice additions to this one.

    A fully adjustable toolpost for the Unimat 3 - Home Model Engine Machinist

    Also take a look at his homemade minature lathe. Much of it made from acrylic.

    Default Unimat

    Dear Nev I used to own a Unimat and I am pretty sure it was green It used to live in my bed room when I collected Hornby O gauge. The type of Tool holer shown was invented by Drummond Lathed in England Pre WW 2. They were called Norman Tool Holders. When I was into casting I made a similar beast with only one slot for Hercus and the next size Taiwanese lathes The last of these was of SG Iron. Cast Iron versions has a weaknes in as much as the broke at the bottom of the tool slot if you abused them My mate Boris has 32 holders of this type for his Hercus. Yours 4-6-4
