I worked at a jewelry store for years part time from the 70’s clear thru the 2000’s until the owner pasted away. I always had a full time job but would help him out at Christmas time or for special sales & I always got to sell the jewelry too. I don’t know how many hours I sat at one of these machines engraving watches, cross pens, charms & the most popular in the 70’s was ID bracelets. There would be stacks of them waiting on me to do when I got there. Lol. I sure do miss that old machine. I’ve looked for one but usually they are used & not in good shape. Looks like you lucked out & got a good one. If you ever want to get rid of it, please leave me a comment on your UA-cam channel. I don’t have a channel but I do have my notifications on & subscribed to your channel so I will see it. I’m on UA-cam everyday. Happy engraving!!! Thanks for the post. Brings back lots of memories ❤️
I just bought one of these drag engravers and was wondering if there's a way to clear the burr around the letters w/out marring a lacquered finish. Also, this particular model has 2 scales on the workpiece vise. 1 would be to center script based on the reduction #, but is the second a random placement scale for setting multiple lines?
You could very easily make a powered spindle for it. You could also 3D print patterns for it. Those Art Deco letters are awesome. What a score for 20 bucks.
Thanks! I was actually thinking of making a bracket to hold a Dremel tool or a flex-shaft tool for carving wood, plastic, etc. Your idea of 3D printing other patterns and letters is a great one. I don't currently own a 3D printer, but it's on my wish list.
@@MrHarvard88 The main issue with using a Dremel or Flex shaft tool is the very poor bearings in them. A bit too much side play so the engraving wouldn't be well done. Years ago the was a magazine article in I think the HSM magazine for a shop made engraver using a Dremel and the examples of the work it produced were pretty poor in my opinion.
Lasers for the home shop not only do not really do metals,but you can not show their use in a short video in any way your viewer can duplicate. Thanks for posting
Thanks for commenting! I have to admit that I'm pretty ignorant on the subject of laser engraving, so I don't know what is available for the home shop or how much they cost. I'm not knocking them, I just find the old methods more interesting.
Hello, I am having the hardest time finding sets of letters. I cant find them on amazon, there are SOME on ebay but very few limited styles. Can you please tell me where can I buys some? Thank you!
eBay is the only place I've seen them. I thought about trying to have some made, but haven't really pursued the idea. It seems like if you had a CNC machine, it would be pretty easy to make your own. But then again, if you had a CNC machine, you wouldn't really need the pantograph engraver.
Ive seen people make template brass plates eith varios patterns for these vintage pantographs... does anyone know what size bit would be best to use and depth?
Great demonstration! I'm looking for a set of the "monogram letters" for my own New Hermes, is there a number/name for the set? I haven't had any luck finding them. Thanks!
There are 4 types of monogram letters. The one in the video is a Circle Monogram, 35-359 2 line. Also 3 line, 35-354. An interlocking monogram35-355 or 356. An oval monogram, 35-066. Also a single line script, 35-362, too plain. And single line diamond, also too plain, 35-360.
$20 is a good price I bet you could sell it for $300. I was going to go into business and I was in the business of engraving jewelry at the kiosk and the VA hospital. Shed all that down and now my jewelry scattered all over the place in my garage
My father bought one in the 80's and I kept in great shape. In 2016 I lost it in the WV flood and would love to get one. He has so many brass lettering. He had to retire and sold acrylic keychain that he engraved on for extra income. I have looked and looked for new one, just don't like the prices on Ebay.
In the 1970s, "Bulova Accutron cal 214H"s the escape whell was made with this device. It was the first watch to use a transistor, and thanks to this device, it had the escape wheel with the smallest teeth in the world. It was 10 times thinner than a human hair. The clock was seen as a revolution in its time. After years later, this device was destroyed by Bulova. Except for a few :D
I didn't Las Vegas Nevada and I have probably five to seven pantograph machines of all different brands. And maybe a dozen fonts and accessories and lots of cutters. I'm looking to sell them or a partner that wants to do something with them
I have two of these and sets of letters. I want to sell them. Do you know how I could sell pretty quickly? Any advice. Shipping them would be really really high!
hey Vince, i have something that my dad found years ago and i have no idea what it is so i asked reddit and they said it could possibly be a pantograph stencil type device, can i send you the link and could you confirm if it is what they're saying? thank you
Yes. I didn't really know what they are worth and was unsure what to offer him. I figured at $20, I wouldn't care if it turned out to be worthless. The store was closing it's doors for good in two days, so I think they just wanted to sell as much as the could. It was kind of sad, really.

You have some of the coolest stuff Vince. That's awesome.
Thanks Logan!
Just found your channel Vince. Enjoying all your videos ! Tom
Thanks Tom! I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk at ArnFest, but it was good seeing you there.
How small can the letters be engraved?

You're probably right about the bearings on a Dremel. I've seen people trying to use them as DIY tool post grinders with very mixed results.
most important thing to have when engraving letters is a good dictionary !
Hi 😊 may I know this machine can engrave on glass bottle? Thanks 😊
I have one but my template are all in reverse, anyone knows what they are used for? Thanks
Please where can Buy it ?

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you, but that is something I have wanted to try myself.
Will you sell this new Hermes?
What model is this? And could it be used to engrave on circular shapes (i.e.. the letters on the perimeter of the circle?) Thanks for the demo!
I think there were special jaws you could purchase to engrave pens. I would assume rings also, but I don't know for sure.

I worked for new Hermes at 20 copper square in '79-80.

I used to dabble in watch repair and always wanted to get my hands on a Bulova Accutron. But if it wasn't a mechanical watch, it was a mystery to me.

I would try Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace if you want to sell them locally. eBay is a good option if you're willing to ship.
Do you still have the engravograph?
Do you still have the Engraving Machine?
Price
Mi sueño por lograr, espero poder tener una máquina de esas antes de que se me acabe mi existencia 😫
I hope you can find one. They are fun to use. Buena suerte.
Where can I buy the pantograph
eBay is probably your best bet for a used one. Proxxon makes one if you want to buy a new one. They are available on Amazon.
Aren't you supposed to attach the motor to the engraver with a belt ? Then motor cut the pattern into the metal .
This model is manual only and did not come with a motor, but yes, some have a motor that turns a spindle at high speed
hey Vince, i have something that my dad found years ago and i have no idea what it is so i asked reddit and they said it could possibly be a pantograph stencil type device, can i send you the link and could you confirm if it is what they're saying? thank you
Sure thing, Phil. I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to take a look
May I know where you get one of this?
I bought mine used from a department store that was going out of business. I don't know if they are still available to purchase new or not.
I have a new hermes F3. Trying to find a cutting blade for it. Do you know where and what size to buy?
Where can i buy this item?
I don't think they are being made anymore.
Olá amigo onde posso adquirir uma dessa?
Olá, this is an older model. Here is the new model www.gravotech.us/products/engraving-stations-cnc-stations/im3

Did I hear $20. for this whole kit??? He then gave it to you. It would sell $400 here in Canada.
