grsjax Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Posted May 7, 2014 Hi I have one of the knock offs of the Unimat 1 6in1 tool. Haven't done much but mess around with it so far but this is what I have learned. The scroll saw option is worthless. Not enough power to cut anything and the blade will bend at a touch. The drill press is usable but a real hassle to use. Grinder is pretty lame. Mill options are usable and useful for light work but will not produce really precision cuts. Same applies to the lathe. I am going to try using it to taper spars. For metal it is pretty much the same as the mill. Useful but don't expect much. My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.
Ulises Victoria Posted May 7, 2014 #3 Posted May 7, 2014 I have heard is more like a toy. There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!
