  Pantograph Advice.

  Posted by Dermot Howard on 4 March 2010 at 14:49

  I’m looking for some advice Please.

  I do a lot of work for a body builder and i am told that there is a lot of Water Tankers coming in within the next few months witch will require engraved labels/name plates for different compartment’s and door on the body’s. I am considering buying an engraving machine but am not sure what to buy. i am currently thinking of a pantograph and then when the level of engraving business increases i will trade up to a computerized machine. My main business will be plastic labels and name plates to start with

  My question is will a pantograph be able to do what i need at the moment.??

  I think you may be overstretching, the engraver I use did a 7 year indentured apprenticeship on pantograph machines, it is a highly skilled trade.

  I cannot comment on computerised machines, but if I was you I would simply say to clients you do it and buy the tags in
