RIG Universal is a grease used to prevent corrosion on sporting goods like guns, fishing reels, etc.

The Unimat 3 is a fun little screw cutting lathe with a cross feed and compound tool rest as opposed to the watchmaker lathe which has a flip-up tool rest kind of like a wood lathe so that you can utilize hand gravers and other tools for tiny work. My "real" lathe is an Emco Super 11, the big brother of the Unimat.
