Do standard 1.25" New Hermes Engraving fonts work on the Gorton 3u machine or is it a different system. Does it have a 1.25" copy slide or can you add a New Hermes one to it to use the fonts. lj lj

LJ,

Going back into time here, If I recall when I used to use the gorton there was a tray that accepted the large type in the top section and the small type in the lower center section. I don't know for sure if yours is set-up that way but the one I worked with was.

John, It's been a long time since I've used a Gorton, but from what I can remember, the template area was a flat "plate", to which typical type slides can be affixed. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Thanks to you and laserman. I figured it might be something like that but haven't ever seen one up close. Somebody with the gorton asked me as I am selling off our pantograph fonts I no longer use on eby. lj

John, If the Gorton guy doesn't take all the type, you may want to list the ebay link here. (Ad/Buy/Sell folder) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

I was going to mention it here this weekend since
the first auctions are ending in a few days.
There are more engraving fonts than most people would need.

I think he must be just getting started since he just asked me
what a flx cutter was :/ .

To be legit I will add it to the buy sell folder!
Thanks

The Hermes type is a metric size maybe 30mm which is a little smaller than the gorton 1-1/4 copy blanks. It can be taped in place in the gorton table or the Hermes strip holders can be clamped or taped on the gorton table. Randy Joyce Joyce Engraving Co., Inc.
