Comprehensive and beautifully illustrated multi-language Instruction Manuals are available for both the UWG1 & larger UWG2 models.
UWG 1: Although most lathe beds can be pressed into use for small marking out jobs, the Hommel had the advantage of offering the whole of its unobstructed top surface for the task.
UWG 1: By mounting the boring table on an angle plate and using the electro-magnetic chuck, even thin plate could be accurately marked out.
UWG 1: Rotary table on the angle plate for circular marking out
UWG 1: The quick-action lever used to tighten accessories and fitting to the bed
Special "cantilevered-back" tailstock to extend the capacity between centres
