Wow, what a great outpouring of generosity from the KZbin audience! I found your channel having just picked up a similar Unimat lathe to compliment my lighter-duty watchmaking lathe. Awesome content! (PS - I can't believe you're so young at 80!) 😄

Greetings, Mr. Pete. FYI, you can super glue together the two ends of that round belt stock. Just be sure you cut both ends square. We had done that lot's of times where/when I used to work.

I had bought the Unimat 3 when it first came out, with the drill press attachment, dividing head and a bunch of other accessories. A really beautiful machine. Unfortunately, as it comes from the factory with what is essentially a very high quality sewing machine motor, I could never really get much done with it. It just doesn’t have enough power. I still have it and wouldn’t want to sell it, but I haven’t used it for decades, other than a precision drill press for very small parts.

Hi Mr. Pete, I have been a big fan of all of your videos and have told several machinist friends about your vids, I have been watching your Unimat series since I recently bought one myself and I have enjoyed seeing your projects for the Unimat. I had to get a 4 jaw independent chuck but of course it was as you say Chineseium but it does work for my purposes because the 3 jaw had too much runout (it was not a original) but I finally found an original that is better, still some runout but more useable. Your tail stock die holder project is doing to be my first for my Unimat. I did want to make some aluminum hand wheels but that will down the road, the die holder will be more useful. Thanks for all the instruction and what a shame that schools do NOT teach any industrial arts shop classes anymore. My son is now working doing CNC work and learning programing so that is a great thing.

I have a Unimat with a power feeder & a thread chasing attachment. Unbelievable machine. I'm planning to sell mine - it even includes the original box, steady rest, and tons of attachments. I may have to make a video showing what is included.

If you found bar stock for the convex raised areas....and then carved out concave areas for those to fit in, you I think should be able to pin and bold those upper ones to the main body enough to hold it steady for the tail stock.

A shop made aluminum tailstock riser block convex ribs could be developed by duplicating the 2 concave grooves on the top surface, then screwing 2 round blank or sleeves. Could your neat stop ring be a double barrel shape adding a clamping bore to mount an indicator?

The tailstock raising block is easy to make with a mill. Bore the 4 holes accurately in a block, mill off the holes halfway both sides, and cut 2 pieces of 12mm ground steel to lenght money in the pocket😊 (a block of scrap cast iron would be best)

A Unimat-made project video series... I know you probably don't want to build another tiny engine, but there's got to be something that would show what the machine can do in your capable hands.

I don't have a tail stock riser; I may have to try to repair my 3D printer again. I'd rather make it out of metal, but although I have some half round cutters, the chances that any of them are metric AND the correct size is about nil!
