Improvised tool post grinder for a larger lathe. Actually, the Unimat has
an accessory cup-type mounted grinding wheel for light grinding in the
Unimat itself.

I've done a lot of small household repairs with mine over the years. It
machines wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals fairly well. Machining steel
is a pretty patient undertaking but can be done. Incidentally, drive belts
can still be obtained and I've had good luck with ordinary, large o-rings
(available locally from ball bearing suppliers) as drive belts.

I just picked up a more-or-less complete Unimat -- just because.

I really don't have a use for it (yet), but for $50 including the milling
attachment and wooden case, it seemed too good a piece of mathom-trash to
pass up.

You guys got any good hints on what to do with it, besides sell it to you
or admire it as a dust-collector?
