    Since first publishing the Unimat modifications, I have added a few more features to the 3" swing lathe including indexing plates for both the headstock and milling head, plus some specialized tooling e.g., http://www.homemadetools.net/qctp-holders and http://www.homemadetools.net/slotting-saw-arbor ). The additional improvements have been posted at Homemade Tools as separate articles with descriptions and pictures.
