The EMCO Unimat 3 is a legendary small-scale lathe that remains a favorite among model makers and precision machinists. Despite being out of production, it is still highly valued for its accuracy and versatility. If you can find one in good condition with the right accessories, it can be an excellent investment for precision machining and DIY projects.

 

Multi-Functionality & Attachments

The Unimat 3 was designed as a modular machine, meaning it could be easily converted into different configurations, making it much more than just a lathe. With the right accessories, it could function as:

• A miniature metal lathe for turning, facing, and threading.

• A milling machine for precision milling and drilling.

• A drill press when used in a vertical configuration.

• A woodworking lathe for light-duty woodturning.

​

The Unimat 3 was widely used by hobbyists, model engineers, and clockmakers due to its precision and small size. It remains highly sought after on the second-hand market, with many users still maintaining and using them today.
