Yes I have one. Used one for close to 30 years. I even have the router attachment. I have NOT used it however, just never had application for it. Is there a particular question you have about it?

Kinda curious as to what all it can be used for.
Plus tryin' to decipher ebay as to access parts and a manual.
I found a card in the box that said not to use on plastic or brass. ???
Enquiring minds and all....
Thanks bruce/Birdog

No reason it won't engrave brass(?) Plastic is another thing. Basically any metal a diamond will cut...which is pretty much any metal, can be engraved.
They are mostly used for engraving words, dates, monograms, initials, etc. on jewelry or other small items. I assume you have some brass letter fonts with it? It works as a pantograph machine. You trace the fonts while pressing the diamond tipped stylus onto the object being engraved. The object fits into the vice jaws. The size of the font is adjusted by three different lock screws on the arms. Don't know about any manuals. May be something online or YouTube.

Is your's the table top model or the larger free standing machine?

Mine is a GG model, reckon ya could call it a tabletop machine. And I have 3 different sized fonts.
The belt is kinda ragged so prolly better find a new one.
I played with it in the shop today til I got cold :-) Want to make up some ID tags for the new hound.
