I have my eyes on a Unimat SL bed and headstock and I'm thinking I would like to restore it as a fun project to use until I get a bigger lathe. First of all, I understand that they tend to go for quite a bit of money. Is this justified, or is it just an overrated lathe?
I tend to like the idea of being able to replace ways for 25 bucks, and so on. It seems that the smaller parts are relatively cheap, but then again, there isn't much to it.
Does anybody use a Unimat for building small scale engines? I'd be interested in what you have to say
