    One of my favorite things about sat morning is a new Mr Pete vid. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication over the years to shop education.

    I know I’ll never make this, but I do enjoy the Unimat series as I have one and need to start playing with it.

    Don't worry about screw ups on this job. It's exactly what you're supposed to do in order to adjust the tool hight😂

    Hi Lyle. What an interesting design for a lantern tool post. I’m a little bit dense this morning and can’t understand how the post locks into the T slot to keep it rigid. The big nut adjusts the height only, leaving the post loose. It has to lock but somehow I missed it.
  • I enjoyed your video. The Unimat is a really cute little lathe! Nice toolpost

    I had a lantern type tool holder on my dad’s CRAFTSMAN LATHE. Mine had a Bowl shaped bottom that a round bottom base piece for the tool…so the tool could be tilted higher or lower to place the tool tip on the center line of the work.

    Nice video. I am new to machining but have already found the aloris style tool post to bulky to get into some places, between the chuck and center. So I just got a new old lathe with only the aloris and was going to make a lantern style for when I need it. My new lathe is a '44 monarch CK12. 😊. Thanks for the video

    On a 3 week RV trip with poor Internet service. Have time this morning to catch up on missed Mr. Pete!

    Very nice MrPete. I really like the elevation method. Scaled up, this could work for a larger lathe, say a 10" or 12" to get into tight spots.

    Hi Mr. Pete I have seen many of these Unimat tool post holders and you have hit them spot on and maybe better. I will attempt to send you pictures of theirs.

    nice... could also be used to make adjustment feet for leveling the machine or attaching to a bench, etc.

    I like my little Sherline Lathe. Thanks for the video!
