Mine's been sitting for a number of years collecting dust - did some CNC stuff on it, but (to be honest) while I had an SL1000 when I was a kid, getting another one after having "real lathes" was a bit of an eye-opener. The CNC-d Unimat SL was good at MakerFaire and other shows, though. Here's a link: http://cnc-for-model-engineers.blogspot.ca/search?q=unimat - 4 years ago already... Time flies.
