1965 Unimat

Solid lathe. No tail stock end, but ok. Tool holder looks good. As does the rail tubes.
 
Nevermind. i see it.
In the background.
 
Passed on down by my machinist friend.
Actually we forgot to put the tail stock back on after we replaced the bearings ... I will have to get that from him later.
 
Going to turn pens and other assorted aquturaments?
 
I do have an immediate need by setting this up as a drill press.
I could have used this to make a new film release knob for the Mamiya Six ... but too late, I convinced him to make it (possibly using this Unimat).
 
Darn, I thought you found some cool old camera I never heard of! lol

There is a uni something isn't there?? Some early/midcentury plastic/bakelite boxy something...
 
Hmm, you are probably right ... Uni does sound like a prefix that a camera company would jump on.
 
Univex...?? gonna look it up. Enjoy your Unimat.


edit - Yep, made by Universal. I shouldn't have looked...
 
Looks like fun! So much you can do with one of those.
 
Minolta introduced the Uniomat (with an "o") in 1960...
 
The two axis sliding rest for the tool holder; a fairly rare Unimat accessory. Most of the time you just got the single axis (lateral) rest.
