Emco Unimat 3 lathe

Emco unimat 3

This cute little lathe I bought many years ago. I made this setup on a little car so it is ready for use when I need it. It came with a lot of extras.

I replaced the motor by a bigger one from an Unimat compact 5. This because the original get very hot. The mod only needed an extra hole in the baseplate and a new motor pully set. I made 2 different sets to get more speeds because this motor only has one speed. Converting it to mill is still possible the same way.

I have 4 chucks, 3 face plates, several toolholders, divider, 3 point support and the thread cutting gear. To bad it only has the 1 mm pitch parts.

And being addicted to measurement gears this picture speaks for itself.

update:

I had an old industrial sewing machine. The table and motor are now used for the unimat and the newest addition, a Proxxon mill. This little mill does a great job. It can mill 5mm aluminum using a 6 mm mill in one run, without protests. The sewing machine motor has no problems with running this little lathe. The motor is the gray box between the mill and lathe. I machined a pully for it so the Unimat is still original. The speed is set by a lockable lever in front of it. This replaces the pedal that was used for the sewing machine.
