Nick, just got one of these and did the deep cleaning also - a problem is that the clamp/vise rotates on its axis without a lock - I see zero on the right at 3 o'clock but there is no way for me to tighten a screw or clamp to keep it there - what is missing ? - help . . . .
Glad I found your video, I just got one 2 days ago and have been trying to work it out. Great info and visuals thanks for posting. Now to watch part two
What you've done it's more than refurbishing. Well done my friend!! I'm very happy for you and I'm sure that we will see very nice things coming out from this beauty. Thanks for sharing this with us! Dimitris
Hello Nick, very nice video. Looking forward to the second one. Do you know if a pantograph of this size could be used to make inlays in metal? I am talking about 2 mm depth. I am looking for a way to achieve that but I don't know if something like that one will suffice or if I need a big machine
Hello Panos, I will be trying this when I film Part 2. Brass, Aluminium and Steel. The manual implies it can only etch on steel not engrave so I am guessing it will depend on what you achieve.
The Gravograph IM3 is a current model. Although I have CNC the manual pantograph can be used for a lot of things which CNC cannot do or which are complex to achieve.
hi i am a gravotech engineer and the cutter you need for glass on the im3 is a 90 degree diamond cutter part number 20149 just email sales and gravotech and they will send you one

What is the right Diamond cutter for the im3 gravograph?
I am so sorry, but I have not used it on glass. Your best bet would be to email the manufacturers. Sorry I can't be of more help

I had one of these in my lab in Edmonton, at AGT. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
That's great. Thanks so much.

Hi, where are you located? they are available on Ebay usually but there are still official spare parts stockists.
@@Ukenick i'm from pili camarines sur Philippines , bicol province sir.
