I got the same exact pantograph this morning! And we tried to pull it up a board and into the truck bed with a come-along, but it wasn't working, so I slapped a couple snatch-blocks on it and just pulled it up with rope!! It's a super cool machine, and I appreciate that you posted this video on it!
This video turned up when I was looking to learn more about using the pantograph engraver. Very informative, I particularly like the use of increasing bushes on the stylus. I am not a clock maker though the techniques you are using are exactly what I need as a musical instrument maker looking to branch out into pantographing. Thanks for this great video.
Thanks Hertfordbristolman, it is always good to hear that someone has gained something out of making these videos...that is what it is all about. Have fun with your new adventure.
Generally,you make the diameter of the stylus in relation to the ratio,eg 1/4" cutter at 2 to1 ratio uses a 1/2" stylus,also a roughing cut can be done with a 9/16" stylus & finish with the 1/2".
yes, this spindle had the midget chucks that are a taper fit. I was having trouble with the chucks slipping / falling out in the middle of a cut so I pinned a blank into the spindle nose and mounted a er11 collet chuck.
sorry for all the questions.. i picked up a gorton pantograph and the collet nut and collets are missing... did you have to turn the spindle down to accept the adapter ? did you make the adapter ? how is the runout ? im thinking i may have to make another spindle... the er11 seems small was leaning toward the er 16
I made the adapter though the spindle in the video is different than what you have. Looks like you may need to turn a new spindle or keep an eye out for a collet nut and collets. Maybe fit it with a ER system though I am not sure exactly what that would entail.
For the finishing cuts it might be better to reverse the direction of movement of the stylus so that you do a "climb cut". Climb cut generally give a nicer finish.
i was just looking up and trying to figure out how to make a adaptor for er 11 collects ... did you bore that out and thread it for you factory spindle thanks !!
No, I left the spindle head original, when disassembled I cut a matching taper on some tool steel, lightly tapped it into the spindle taper, drilled a hole for a spring roll pin thru both, secured it with the spring roll pin then mounted in the lathe and turned the proper diameter to accept the er collet head inner diameter, If I were to do it again I would probably turn the final diameter for the er collet after I reassembled the whole spindle and rigged up a cutter right on the pantograph. My thinking was to keep the spindle original and still have the ability to revert back to the taper collets if I wanted to.
I would like to see James site could you please spell his last name. I have a Gorton that has been in my shop for almost a decade and I really appricate this video. Thanks
Very interesting. Great to see someone making something rather than a computer.

Oh man this is awesome. I gotta build this for my plasma cutter. Great video!!
Great vid, thanks for sharing, would love to see more on using the Pantograph.
beautiful chimes in the background ,and a very interesting vid
Thanks James, hope all is well, have a great day.
Thanks for sharing now I know what a Pantograph is and thanks for all the other video's to. Robert
Your welcome Robert, Thank you for the comment.
I like this kind of machine.when I was young I operate this machine.my boss is a Chinese.he teach me how to operate.
Watcha William good to see you're getting on with the pantograph 😉
Thanks Daryn, good to hear from you. I hope all is well.

Calidad 👍🇻🇪 excelente ese pantógrafo 👏👏👏
Great show ----- fascinating machine ------ thanks for sharing
Thank you Tom

excellent video.. whats up with the cutter collet.. did you add something to the spindle ?

ok thank you i have a gortan with a electric motor and cant pull the spindle itself out to recut , thanks why i was wondering , thanks JJ
