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 KZfaq 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 KZfaq everyday. Happy engraving!!! Thanks for the post. Brings back lots of memories ❤️

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.

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.
@MrHarvard885 жыл бұрын
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.
@turningpoint66435 жыл бұрын
@@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.
@MrHarvard885 жыл бұрын
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.

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?

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

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.
