Don't confuse the 2 arms with the third one further back by the larger knob. It just moves the cutter forward and back for correct position and doesn't have to be set on the same number as the other 2. .

The third set of numbers on the main pivot arm in the back gets set to the same number in order to have the automatic centering accurate. Set all to exactly the same number, not just close, in order for the engraving to be perfect. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

I don't anything about a pantograph or your question.

By I did want to express my condolences for your loss. I am so sorry for you and if there is anything I can do to help you through this time, I would be happy to help.

I can only add my condolences for your loss. It's hard enough running a business but to have to do it when you have lost someone is truly difficult. I wish I can say more but please know that someone you don't know has said a prayer for you and your family.

Kathe,

I am really sorry to hear about your husband, I don't know anything about pantograph engraving but I can rotary & laser engrave anything if you need, I am only 3 hours away. My oldest daughter lives in Owasso, I will be going down soon, so let me know if there is anything I can do.

That is what I did and I managed to complete the pen set and the two watch claps. What a learning experience. I have an appointment with a man who has wanted to buy this company for a while. I hope the meeting goes well. I can't keep up the two full time jobs much longer. I will really miss the engraving as it challenged my creative side.

Thank you so much for your help.

Kathy, I'm happy to hear you got through your immediate jobs. Very impressive! As simple as pantographs are to operate, as you probably noticed, there's knack, to developing a "feel" for even pressure, across the entire piece. It's also very common for newbies to slip out of the brass templates. >.< Hope the meeting with the prospective buyer goes well. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA
