    School Me About Unimat Lathes......

    I agree with others who say they are more a collectible machine. I grab them if I see them cheap and clean strictly for resale. I have never used or kept one. Here is a recent one..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How hard is it to bend round steel rod accurately?

    Hey I did the opposite. I have the SWAG tubing roller with a Princess Auto (HF) upgrade. LOL[emoji23] I also have a Hossfeld and Diacro bender. I agree with your advice [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
