UWG 1: Because the vertical-column housing was designed to accept almost all the standard bed-mount accessories, and both drive motors, a set-up of great versatility could be created: for example, above, with the head mounted on a screw-feed slide both a rapid and sensitive feed were available at the same time. |

UWG 1: A good example of the complex work that a Hommel was able to accomplish - a complex jig-boring operation with the job mounted on a rotary table (surmounted by the 4-jaw chuck) and the head approaching at an oblique angle. |

Above and left - the Hommel UWG 1 set up for a form of radial drilling where the column has been released from its clamp and allowed to rotate. Mounted on the compound slide rest is the maker's T-slotted boring table.
When the job was finished, and the column had to be returned to its central position, a bolt was turned against a stop to set the alignment exactly using the degree markings engraved around the base.
