unimat sl lathe

[taycat]

been given a unimat sl lathe, with some bits missing.
main bits are chuck, handle for taking quill up and down when used as driil / mill and spring for returning quill back up.
have got drill chuck and face plate with it.
now have found bit's listed on the bay but some say sl1000.
anyone know if they will fit?
they are m12x1 like my sl
looked on lathes.co.uk but when i click on sl1000 just comes up file directory not found.
also not sure what bit next to red allen keys is for, was attached to quill.

thanks.

I think I remember reading that parts for the early unimat lathes (before the unimat 3) were interchangeable

but just look at all the accessories you can have.

looks really good bit of kit with all attachments, want to make as many of bits as i can.
it was going bin.

you could ask a question on lathes.co.uk see if some kind person may have bits going spare for you in a dark distant shed
but as said the early ones all seem to have interchangeable bits
