✅ For Those Who Value Precision
Whether in advanced model building, design, or small-scale production,
UNIMAT MetalLine stands for quality, modularity, and technical precision.
The Functions
Lathe
With distance between centers of 90 mm (optionally expandable), center height of 50 mm and equipped with a two position tool post aluminum, brass, copper and other materials can be processed precisely. With the 3-jaw chuck work pieces with ø up to 56 mm (inside) and 65 mm (outside) can be clamped.
Travel: Z-axis 145 mm, X-axis 32 mm
Horizontal mill
Using 3 slides allows for a wide range of milling tasks on different planes. Travel: X-axis 145 mm, Y- and Z-axis 32 mm (optionally expandable). Collets with a clamping range from 1 to 6 mm.
Center Drilling
With the precise collets, tool bits from 1 to 6 mm can be inserted into the head-spindle. The tailstock quill allows for a precise travel of 30 mm. The hand wheel with 0.05 mm scale guarantees perfect drilling results and exact depth-control.
Drill Press / Vertical Mill
Two slides are used for the set-up of the cross table, the third slide is used for the Z-axis. With the hand wheels, holes can be drilled at exact positions and with exact depth.
Travel X-axis 145 mm, Y- and Z-axis 32 mm. Collets with a clamping range from 1 to 6 mm.
Handheld Drill / Sander
Handheld Drill: For drilling and milling bits with shank diameters from 1 to 6 mm.
Handheld Sander: With a 50 mm sanding disk.
