@@Smallathe I became absolutely enthralled with machining less than a year ago and it's taken over every square inch of my house and shop. What's one more machine if it's this small? Right..?
Check taufladermous. They shoot commercial and experimental ammunition. I used themold to make both sorbitol slugs and lollipops (for my other channel, spicecandies). The slugs were not perfect but worked ok.
I think it can easily do that. If the parts are small enough to fit the chuck and total turning length - that should be an OK job. Use standard metric or imperial taps and dies and it should work :) Rifling is going to be a challenge though, or making a rifling button.
@@henryToped Do bare in mind even with a drill press and a dremel it can be done. Or a drill press and a set of files. It's all a matter of motivation. :)
@@Smallathe Yeah very true, a drill press with good stabilizing vise is essential at the very least. Many of the pen gun parts and rifled barrel can be ordered custom made but still need some drilling and tapping work. Thanks.
Enjoyed it immensely!!! Thanks for the video!!!
My pleasure
I am loving actual projects completed on the unimat SL1000
Thanks! Me too...
So cool!! I think I might get a unimat just for fun. Really love small machines. I have a band saw that is even smaller than your unimat.
Go for it! But I warned you: it is super fun and practically addictive! ;)

@@Hunteratloppshop lol. I tried turning (had zero knowledge) a few years ago. Definitely got the bug... Agreed. Another small machine won't hurt!
great vid Saar and good work. don't know what these are but it was fun just the same.

Do you think a small lathe machine like this is able to make a pen or zip gun?

@@Smallathe thanks alot for your opinion

Yeah don’t know what the hell it is but yeah. Good work.
Hi Paul. Thanks mate! It's a dual candy mold. Check the description - there is a link to Taufladetmous firing sorbitol slugs made using this mold.
