The Unimat SL was made in Austria by Emco Maier. Although it is no longer made, there is still a demand for parts and accessories. The following is a list of accessories that are still available. If the item you need is not listed, let us know, we might be able to locate a used one for you. We can also get parts and accessories for the Unimat 3 and other EMCO MAIER lathes. The Wade CAV was manufactured by C.A.V. Small Tools Ltd., in Sussex England from 1922 to the lathe 1930's. It is made using polished pressure die cast copper-aluminum alloy components. Keep in mind that aluminum was considered almost a precious metal in the 1920's, so this was a pretty radical choice of materials for the time. It also has a back gear for screw cutting and a steel bed instead of the usual cast iron used at the time. This example has a 3" 3-jaw chuck. The bed itself is a large tube, which is in itself unusual.

The last Unimat to be produced in Austria, it solved the bed flex problem by going to a cast, dovetailed bed. The light duty motor limits its usability, but the large line of Unimat accessories kept it popular for a long time. Manufactured in Austria by EMCO, it was eventually replaced by the Unimat 4 which was manufactured in Taiwan, and the drop in quality turned off many former customers. It is no longer distributed in the USA. The "standard" version of the master lathe features a spindle that has an external thread to accept a chuck and a hole through the spindle of 3/16", allowing it to accept bar stock up to 1/8" in diameter through the spindle. The spindle runs in porous, self-oiling bronze bearings designed to take both radial and thrust loads. It is finished in a gray paint and has the same dimensions and specifications as the BBW version, the only difference being the spindle designed to take a chuck rather than a WW collet. Like the BBW, this lathe takes 1/8" square cutting tools in the tool post.
