I purchased this Unimat model-making lathe last year from the original owner (who had owned it for a number of years but had used it only once for a small project), for some retirement projects of my own. But my plans have been put on hold and I will not have the opportunity to use it any time soon, so I am offering it for sale.
The Unimat 1 'Classic' is a complete bench top cutting system with 6 separate functions combined in one (metalworking lathe, wood turning lathe, horizontal & vertical milling machine, jigsaw, hand h
eld and bench drill, and sander/grinder); and enables the user to produce many model-making items (you can see it in action on YouTube).
This is a re-listing, as I had previously referred to the manufacturer’s literature in the Item Description but not checked the components myself. This is a complicated piece of equipment, so for the avoidance of any doubt, I have now carefully gone through the master list of components, as listed in the Instruction Manual, most bear the manufacture’s part number sticker, and they are all included with this sale, as follows:

· Mains transformer / plug

Please note, there are no turning/milling tools included (the Unimat brochure states: “Some components will not be offered together with the basic set by every Importer”).
Kindly note this is the extent of my knowledge on this particular item, so I am unable to answer any detail queries. As you can see I have attempted to be scrupulously accurate with the description, so please read this Item Description carefully, make sure you understand that what you see is what you get, make sure it is what you want, and bid accordingly (they cost almost £300 new, and you are bidding on a pre-owned item). And do please check my 100% positive feedback.
In response to previous requests, I am also showing both a Buy It Now price, and a U.K. postage option (although if you do not want to pay for postage you are still welcome to collect it in person, from Poole, Dorset).
