About this deal

If the power rating of the controller is Ok and the price is low, then by a spare at the same time, just in case of failure. American machines all appear to have been delivered in a rather splendid fitted wooden box - while European customers, apart from those sold during the mid to late 1950s, had to be content with finest-quality cardboard. If you see a box for sale be aware that those for the very first models - the Mk. 1a at just over 12-inches long - were smaller than those for later machines. Most of the first boxes had nicely bevelled vertical corners, until at some point during SL1000 production , this was stopped, probably as an economy measure. Accessory boxes of the time were very distinctive with a turquoise (or teal) blue-and-white label with "Emco" spelled out in a diagonal line, a 'circle M' logo and "Made in Austria" printed underneath in small letters. Motors used on this model included the Dutch-made painted type (the large "round" version), an early example of the very much stronger and reliable U90 (but with more sculptured end caps as shown in the large picture in the 1959 brochure) and the "regular" U90 in a colour to match the lathe. However, it is known that silver-blue finished U90 motors were subsequently sold by American Edelstaal, and Canadian Edelstaal, as replacements for use on later green SL1000s and DB200s and so confusion on this point is a strong possibility.

This model of the Unimat 1 has many plastic parts. It is capable of working mostly wood and plastics. [1]

When you need to replace/obtain drill bits do so via specialist tool suppliers eg Drill Service (Horely) Ltd . A guy who who knows a lot more about tools and modelling put it to me "don't get your bits from the usual model railway exhibitions". I didn't heed this advice and ended up with badly ground bits that cut over size and wandered. From the specialists you can get bits with very small cutting diameter with a wider shank that are more securely held in the collets. A single common 500mm module width offers the ultimate in flexibility / interchangeable rig setup areas An ER-16 collet can sometimes be used in an E/EX-16 holder - but never the reverse i.e. an E/ES-16 collet in a ER-16 holder - if this is tried the extractor in the nut will ruin the smaller collet. Although the ER-16 collets will seat in the E/ES holder they will protrude more and the nut may not have enough threads to engage the body safely. Schaublin now makes an ESX-16 collet set that is compliant with the DIN standard. For additional machine variations, the UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC kit contains the components necessary for building-up to a stationary drilling machine, a metal turning machine, and a horizontal and vertical mill. It also comes with a construction plan book, and the UNIMAT 1 handbook. The result is a versatile universal high performance tool for plain line and S&C tamping. An important circumstance requiring to be seen in light of achieving higher efficiency and quality of given shift rosters as well as planned reduction of shift patterns in the future.

This model of the Unimat 1 has many plastic parts and plastic machining cross slides. It is capable of working wood, plastic and soft metals i.e. aluminum and brass. It is the same machine as the basic with additional capabilities such as wood turning, sawing, drilling, milling and metal turning.For model-making professionals and technicians who wish to produce precise workpieces with an accuracy of up to 3/100mm, we recommend the UNIMAT 1 CLASSIC from CoolTool®. Drill size capacity: 0.5 - 6mm. Maximum working height of working area 120mm (expandable with optional accessories) Milling Neutral grey finish avoids corporate branding conflict. Your company name included on end cap decals
