Morse #0 Tailstock spindle (lathe spindle) for UNIMAT SL DB, Tool Steel Other sizes (Craftsman etc.) can be made.   UNIMAT SL DB accessory never seen before from LatheCity  The package includes: Morse #0 Tailstock spindle Manual (mounting instructions) Safety booklet Upgrade your old UNIMAT to a professional lathe. Purpose of that tool:  Use professional and standard Morse type accessories on your UNIMAT. The advantage of a Morse arbor is that it can be used as a fast tool change system. In addition, many accessories are available and the system is self-centered, i.e., it is more precise than just a boring type arbor. Tailstock spindle specs: The new (tool steel) tailstock spindle for UNIMAT SL DB looks basically the same as the old spindle except that it has a Morse #0 arbor cut in the front end. The new spindle is cut from tool steel and still has a M12-1.0 threaded head, 12 mm outer diameter, and works with the standard (old) M8-1.0 LH feed screw. The UNIMAT standard spindle and our design have about the same length. Thus, UNIMAT accessories you may already have will work with the new spindle. All LatheCity tools come with a short manual and safety booklet. If you want a shoulder on the tailstock spindle we can make you a ring (+$20) with a set screw, but you won't need it and can make this also by yourself. Mounting the new tailstock spindle:  Disassemble your old tailstock (and remember how you do it - J, don’t lose parts -J -J). Proceed in reversed order to mount the new spindle – that’s it. A few hints:  In so doing, notice that the tailstock spindle is a combination of a M8-1.0 left hand (LH) and M5-0.8 right hand threaded rod. 0.8 mm pitch is pretty much standard for a metric thread, 1.0 mm left hand is a quite uncommon fine thread bolt. (Don’t damage that spindle.) Anyway, when assembling the tailstock spindle, screw the M8 end into the tailstock quill. Next, insert this piece into the tailstock spindle housing. Then, screw the hand wheel on the M5 bolt end such that it has just a hair clearance to the quill housing. Use the M5 nut and screw it against the hand wheel. That nut acts as a lock not for the hand wheel. Don’t screw the hand wheel tight onto the quill housing, or you cannot rotate the hand wheel anymore. That procedure may be somewhat tidies when using it the first time; most people are not used the LH screws. Rotating the hand wheel clockwise (when looking towards the tailstock) will move out the quill (and the spindle backwards). Therefore, for pushing a Morse taper accessory out of the Morse arbor, move the hand wheel counter clock wise. That will move the quill towards the tailstock and the spindle towards the headstock. Remember, for reduced length Morse accessories, you need to insert a short pin into the arbor (or get a longer spindle). One can get taper also out by rotating them. If one got really stuck: remove the hand wheel, remove tailstock spindle, stick a spindle bar through the spindle and tap it.             Safety/Disclaimer: Adapters are not cutting tools in themselves. Still, general safety rules for machine tools are in place. For an extended list of safety notes, consult the literature. We do not warrant that any accessories can be used for any particular application. Damage on equipment (particularly damage on the spindle by over tightened screws) caused by usage of accessories is the customer’s responsibility. Hobby machinists tend to stick their nose too close to the machinery. Use safety glasses and protective clothing. This manual does not replace books about metal working and/or proper training. Morse adapter/accessories may start to rotate when, for example, a drill bit gets stuck in the work piece. In any case, switch the lathe off. Do not try to stop the rotating adapter with your hands. Make sure that the adapter is properly inserted in the Morse arbor. Using a dead center can result in over-heating the work piece and the adapter. Switch the lathe off, and cool down the pieces.
