This project ‘Pantograph Engraving Machine (PEM)’ is designed and is used mainly to cut wood, plastics, mild steel plates in to any shapes with desired accuracy and correctness. The pantograph has arms made from seasoned hardwood attached with chromed steel hardware and components. These useful tools are for creating, enlarging, and reducing drawings up to 10x in scale. Pantograph is a Drawing Tool used to Copy, Reduce, or Enlarge Art & Graphics. If your machine has a 12 inch throat space, there is no way you can use a 16 inch design. Now, you must consider your machine’s throat space. Designs may as small as a couple inches or may be 16 inches or more. The size should be indicated in the product’s name or within the “more information description”.

Pantographs are no longer commonly used in modern engraving, with computerized laser and rotary engraving taking favor. The typical range of ratio is Maximum 1:1 Minimum 50:1 (reduction) In this way machinists can neatly and accurately engrave numbers and letters onto a part.
