David,
I know this is an older post but just wanted to let you know how helpful all the photos were/(are). I'm looking forward to trying my hand at this soon.

I mostly want to be able to mark dials and degree wheels for the home shop tools/accessories I frequently make. I've done a bit of circular dividing on the lathe and milling machine so the pantograph should broaden my options.

Rich,

Nothing wrong with reviving an older post. :-)

I enjoy doing the "PicTutorials", as I call them.

If you (or others) have any specific pantograph procedure(s) in mind, I'd be happy to develop some along those lines.
