I am looking for a source of cheap accessories for my Unimat-1 Classic
hobby mill.  The system is great, but the accessories needed to
convert it into a flat-bed milling machine are exhorbitant.

I would like to find a source of the extruded aluminium sections
compatible with those they use for the Unimat system.  Alternatively
(perhaps better) I'd like to find a third-party supplier of
Unimat-compatible accessories.  As a final alternative, I'd accept a
really cheap discount supplier that will ship to the Far East.  I
don't need answers to all of these, just some solution that'll allow
me to convert my existing unit into a flat bed mill.

Aluminum extrusions sources:

Bosch (metric extrusions and such (probably what you need):
http://rexroth.starlinear.com/framing_ec/index.asp

80/20 English unit (inches and such) exrusions (probably not what you
need for Unimat, but I don't know for sure whether the Unimat
extrusion profiles are metric or English): www.8020.net
(The 80/20 stuff is somewhat cheaper than the Bosch.)
