Default unimat, all-up

According to Lloyd E. Sponenburgh lloydspinsidemindspring.com:

According to Lloyd E. Sponenburgh lloydspinsidemindspring.com:
I just picked up a more-or-less complete Unimat -- just because.


How complete is "more or less complete" There is "complete" as
in "has what was sold as the base unit", or "compete" as in "has all
of the accessories which I picked up for it later.


[ ... ]

All-up as in all the parts are there and they work. There is a 4-jaw
chuck, there is a headstock Jacobs, there is a milling attachment.


Is there a three-jaw chuck? That was one of the standards, at
least with the Unimat SL-1000 (and I believe the DB-200).

And the Jacobs chuck will mount on either the headstock or the
tailstock, depending on what you want to do with it. (For that matter,
all the other chucks can be mounted on the tailstock as well.

And it all functions.


That helps.

For that light a machine, I could cobble all the others pretty quickly
and easily.


Given larger machines, yes.

Enjoy,
DoN.
