Completed the Refurbishment of the Vintage Unimat SL 1000 Lathe today, and it’s looking excellent.
Productive day in the workshop as I complete the cleaning of the Unimat SL 1000 Lathe parts before starting assembly of the Lathe. All the parts cleaned up well, the three jaw chuck now looks and works well. After giving the bearing a good greasing I replaced the headstock, just to check to see if there was any play, and there was not, so keeping the new set of bearings for later.

Everything went back ok, and the polished alloy pulleys sets look smart, and I made up a new set of belts, which being green matched the lathe excellently.

The new a revolving centre head I had purchased fitted the tailstock perfectly, so Lathe is now completely back together and all I have to do is wait for the splash guard I have on order to arrive and I can wire the motor in and I’ll have another watchmaker tool ready to use.
