Slotting Saw Arbor for Unimat

[Paul Jones]

PJs,

Thank you for the compliments. Yes, all the anti-vibration work on the 12" swing gear-head lathe has proven successful. Turning 1018 CRS would have looked just as nice as the 12L14. I used a single point tool for the 1/2-20 threads and a tap for the M12X1. My lathe quick change gear box can select metric threads but I am still missing a 30 tooth conversion gear and will have to modify it similar to the my 40 tooth replacement gears ( Homemade Change Gears ).

Thanks for reminding me about the FHCS. This was another part not totally machined on the Unimat. My 7" swing mini lathe is now dedicated with an ER32 collet holder and is used primarily for collet work like trimming the head of the FHCS.

Thank you,
Paul Jones
