cristikc Posted December 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2014 I don't want to make advertise, and this is why i don't present the name of the manufacture. I was a "good boy" and Santa Clause (from my own pocket) came early ths year I will try to present the toy, and how it looks inside, for the one that want to buy one, and did not see the interior of the box tasmanian and flying_dutchman2 2 Quote Current build : Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Finished: San John the Baptist - Cross section Santisima Trinidad - Cross section Galery Santisima San John the Baptist ( San Juan Bautista) Galery San John HMS Victory 1805 - Cross section - Corel 1:98 scale Panart (Mantua) 740 Battle Station Battle Station Panart 740 Galerry On Hold: HMS Bounty 1:64 Mamoli MV39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Blarney Posted December 17, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 17, 2014 That looks like it will be useful. Lathes are extremely versatile. If the RPMs go high enough, then maybe you could make a saw table (use slitting blades) and a thickness sander. Just go easy and don't overload it.

Rao A.L.G. Posted December 17, 2014 Share #7 Posted December 17, 2014 Have u tried any turning on this? I had seen ads. The dealer claims it is only a toy. I dropped further enquiries. Is it worth going in for? Rao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristikc Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted December 17, 2014 I used just as lathe for wood, i made just some tests making small barrels, and seems to work ok. I also make some belaying pins and it is ok. Maybe the RPM can be high, but i will make some adjusments after christmas. It is not an Unimat, it seem to be a copy (Unimat i saw don't produce this "toy") but for small things we make to the seeps it is OK. For Janos, it is also a table saw, but i had no time to try Hope to be ok in the future. All the best to all, and a Happy Christmas Cristi Quote Current build : Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Finished: San John the Baptist - Cross section Santisima Trinidad - Cross section Galery Santisima San John the Baptist ( San Juan Bautista) Galery San John HMS Victory 1805 - Cross section - Corel 1:98 scale Panart (Mantua) 740 Battle Station Battle Station Panart 740 Galerry On Hold: HMS Bounty 1:64 Mamoli MV39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian100 Posted January 18, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 18, 2015 Is it the CNC 6 in 1 multi tool. I am thinking of getting one as I don't have the room for individual saw, lathe etc. If it is, how good is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dowling Posted January 18, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 18, 2015 I have been looking at the Unimat so I too am interested in how the different set ups work, particularly the jig saw.

jud Posted January 18, 2015 Share #11 Posted January 18, 2015 Might try a reostat for speed control, just don't overheat by running to slow under a heavy load. jud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsjax Posted January 18, 2015 Share #12 Posted January 18, 2015 The lathe and mill setups are useful but don't expect them to be precision tools. The other setups range from barely useable to useless. Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian100 Posted January 18, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks for the info, any advice on a good multi tool to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristikc Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted January 19, 2015 For one setup, it takes about 5-15 minutes (maximum) to make the configuration, from one tipe to other. For variable speed, you need to make some adjustments to the power. One solution is to put a variable resistor ( reostat) and to use a male - famele new conection. The second is to have a variable power supply with the output from 5 to 15 volts, and at least 2 to 3 Amp. I will come with some new ideas, but for the moment i have no time to finish my ideas. All the best to all Cristi Quote Current build : Sovereign of the Seas - Mantua 1:78 scale Finished: San John the Baptist - Cross section Santisima Trinidad - Cross section Galery Santisima San John the Baptist ( San Juan Bautista) Galery San John HMS Victory 1805 - Cross section - Corel 1:98 scale Panart (Mantua) 740 Battle Station Battle Station Panart 740 Galerry On Hold: HMS Bounty 1:64 Mamoli MV39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exwafoo Posted January 26, 2015 Share #15 Posted January 26, 2015 I got one of these a few years ago. Its a TOY. You will spend more time setting it up than using it. Even aligning the centres when used as a lathe is a nightmare. Even when set up don't expect accuracy, or to be able repeat a cut, the combination of plastic modules, parts and aluminium extruding flexes making it a waste of money. Even the slightest pressure on the tool tip causes it to move. Don't even think of using it on small pieces of brass, or harder. Mine now lives in a box in the garage. I have since started to invest in quality equipment, starting with the Proxxon mill/drill setup with a precision table. I wish I had saved up a bit more and done this in the first place. Sorry for the gloom, however I've had more frustration out of attempting to make the best of a bad job using this kit than anything else I can remember and would not like anyone else to suffer likewise. There are cast aluminium modules available, but its as cheap to buy a small lathe or mill. Al davyboy and michael mott 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Jack Sparrow Posted July 27, 2017 Share #16 Posted July 27, 2017 I have to agree, I wasted a little money on one of these. It barely does okay on the wood lathe setup. Jigsaw setup about the same. As a metal lathe, it's junk. Haven't tried the other setups, but it's not a precision machine by any means. For a few extra bucks, I could have made a better lathe davyboy 1 Quote Art Current build: "The Black Pearl" in 1:50.
