    Which Unimat lathe do you have William? I had one of those awful Unimat SL/DB 1000’s. The motor was only rated to run for 7 mins at a time and it was great as long as you were only turning cheese. Anything harder than cheese and it would only remove microns at a time. They did do a constant rated motor for it but the lathe was so flimsy I just sold it on. The Unimat 3 I have heard is much better.
