Description from the seller
Title: Emco Unimat SL - Precision Watchmaker's Lathe - Fully Serviced - Made in Austria
Description:
For your consideration is an original Austrian-made Emco Unimat SL in excellent condition. This tool is a recognized benchmark in the world of micromechanics, perfectly suited for watchmakers, jewelers, and precision scale modelers.
Technical Condition: The machine is fully functional and has undergone a comprehensive technical service and overhaul. All components have been thoroughly cleaned and lubricated. The mechanics operate flawlessly: the cross-slide and carriage movement is smooth and precise, with no unnecessary play (backlash). The lathe is completely ready for operation immediately upon delivery.
Design Advantages:
Heavy Cast Iron Bed: Despite its compact dimensions, the lathe features a substantial weight and structural rigidity. The heavy bed effectively dampens vibrations, a critical factor for achieving high surface finish quality and extreme machining accuracy.
Swiveling Headstock: The unique design allows the headstock to be rotated for taper turning, angled drilling, or transforming the lathe into a vertical milling/drilling setup.
Adjustable Chuck Reach: Flexible spindle unit adjustment for handling complex and non-standard workpieces.
Variable Speed Control: Rotation speed is adjusted via a pulley and belt system, allowing for optimal torque and speed when working with materials ranging from soft plastics to hardened steel.
High Precision: This lathe is designed for tolerances as tight as 0.01 mm, essential for manufacturing the smallest mechanical components.
Sample Work: Included in the photographs is a watch balance wheel crafted on this specific machine. This serves as the best possible evidence of its precision and capability to handle high-complexity horological tasks.
