Hey now there is a novel idea. Another use for all the Linde & other pantographs that show up on ebay for a few hundred dollars.........
I still have one in use here. I have to straight line bevel lots of 1" steel that comes in here pre cut to length. It's quicker on that old pantograph than to try & align on the CNC.
If it works.....Don't fix it!
