Yeah... I even have a little Unimat on the shelf. I use it only seldom,
but I've made some nice "microscopic" parts on it. The only drawback is
that I use it so seldom, I often have to replace the O-ring belts before it
will work again!

Leave the "safety cover" open, and the "O" rings will run cooler and
last longer.
Which Unimat is this which has a safety cover? I've used the
early ones (two models, but the same steel rods for rails) which had the
pulleys out in the air -- ready to grab a careless fingertip. :-) Trying
to remember those models -- DB-200 and SL-1000 IIRC. Yep -- verified.
Enjoy,
DoN.
