Re: Unimat?

Steven,
I bought one of the Unimats that is in your link. After about three
days I ordered my Sherline machine shop.

If you want to work with wood, plastic, foamboard or wax it may be
OK. Whle the black tubes are all extruded aluminium the other parts
are a plastic similar to nylon. Under any kind of load everything
bends. It will not cut to any reasonable tolerance. The components
would be unable to support the weight of steppers.

If you want more info we tan talk offline.
