Just purchased a Emco Unimat

[Dell]

Hi all
New to forum and just purchased a Unimat s/h obviously I haven’t touched a lathe for about 50 years.
I repair antique clocks as a hobby and as anything antique clock related is getting hard to find I thought it was about time I got a lathe and then I can make some small brass parts myself ( or I should say try) so if anyone on here is used to using said lathe that can offer any advice it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

Try browsing through the emco forum: https://www.hobby-machinist.com/forums/boxford-myford-denford-viceroy-emco-unimat-machines.98/

lots of good info on Unimats in there.
