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 ❤️

most important thing to have when engraving letters is a good dictionary !

You have some of the coolest stuff Vince. That's awesome.

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

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.

Just found your channel Vince. Enjoying all your videos ! Tom

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?

$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

How small can the letters be engraved?

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

Please where can Buy it ?

Wow that’s awesome!

How much is it worth I have one

Hi 😊 may I know this machine can engrave on glass bottle? Thanks 😊

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

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!

Do they still make these

I have one but my template are all in reverse, anyone knows what they are used for? Thanks

Will you sell this new Hermes?

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!

Mi sueño por lograr, espero poder tener una máquina de esas antes de que se me acabe mi existencia 😫

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!

Aren't you supposed to attach the motor to the engraver with a belt ? Then motor cut the pattern into the metal .

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!

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?

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