I am shortly to be in need of doing some serious engraving, in building my surface / Tool & Cutter grinder.

i have Harold Hall’s book that includes his fairly lengthy dial engraving device, but have also built the Duplex Drummond M slotting device – well my version of it.

Has anyone built the Hemingway tool? If so I’d like to pick your brains please regarding the design of it.

Please would you be kind enough to contact email me on:-

Many thanks

Mike

Easier and better to use the lathe carriage with a carriage stop to engrave lines on dials. Small engraving slides always have a working clearance that translates to movement of the cutting tool, which can be a nuisance. The lathe carriage is much more solid and steady. You vary the lengths of the lines by setting the topside.

Thanks Hopper.

Food for thought there!

As it happens my keyway setup should do the business. I just have to arrange a three way system of stops.
