Hi,

I just discovered this site while searching for info on Unimat lathes (I have an SL I’m renovating).

There look to be many topics of interest, so I can see I’ll be spending some time on here!

Hello, at first glance, an interesting website in your bio.
Sometimes, it helps to add a very rough location, as any advice may depend upon where you’re located.

Welcome.

Always something of interest on here.

If you need advice, just ask.

Knowing your location would enable anyone nearby to come and help / demonstrate should your need be that great
