Pantograph engraver / copier wanted
« on: January 02, 2012, 03:11:33 PM »
Hello everyone I am looking for a pantograph engraver that must be capable of 1:1 copying. I have just sold my Gravograph as the items I wish to engrave are too bulky for this machine (please believe I have looked extensively at gravograph)
I have looked at the newing hall and Taylor Hobsons model K and these both fit my needs.
I also understand that many other models can achieve 1:1 dependant on their individual specification
If anyone has a machine for sale could they please detail:
Condition
Accessories / copy
Model number and if known Dimensions and weight
Location (I am in Daventry NN114NW England)
and most important - COST
I have looked at several machines and am prepared to travel a reasonable distance for the right machine
Thanks in advance
John

Hi there John :wave:

I'm afraid that I can't help you with your request, but it may well help others if you can tell us where you are in this place we call the planet Earth :D

His profile says Daventry.

IIRC that is on Earth ... unless it's been moved ??

Are you going to check, or shall I ?? :lol:

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

Hi all -  :doh: Added the UK to my profile - is this mainly a US site??? :Doh:
When I said I would trave for the right machine I had up to 100 miles in mind
Don't think American airlines would accept a half ton machine as hand luggage

I`d say it is a good worldwide split with an edge on the UK imo, compared to most engineering site! Good luck with your hunt!
