Dadio Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Awhile back I promised you a demo of the Mathias Wandel Pantograph. Well I ran across this PDF of our October Woodworkers club NewsLetter where my cousin Paul ( builder of my pantograph) and I did a presentation on it. He explained the build, and I did a live demonstration. It is about half way down the pdf. http://nwwoodworkers.org/newsletters/October 2016 Newsletter.pdf Herb Edited November 23, 2017 by Ron Dudelston tags added HARO50, p_toad and Stick486 3 Quote
John Morris Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 Herb that is really neat, you could almost add a computer to that sucker and it'd be a great shop made CNC! But I like yours better, an HHC, (Human Hand Controlled) instead of Computer Numerical Controlled! Dadio 1 Quote

Kevin Beitz Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 I dabbled with Pantographs for a few years. I started out by modifying a Hermes engraver. Everything kept coming out catawampus. Then I built one from plans off google. Still catawampus... So I made one from my planes. Now everything come out square. Cal 1 Quote
