GORTON Pantograph P1-3 is a versatile machine tool that is used for shaping a variety of materials such as metals, woods, plastics, and other soft materials. It is composed of two main components; the pantograph, which is a mechanical arm that is linked to a cutting attachment, and the cutting table, which holds all of the material that is to be shaped. The pantograph consists of a vertical pivot arm that is connected to a linear arbor. The arbor can be set to any angle, usually by a graduated crank, and the angle of the pivot arm can be adjusted to the desired setting. The cutting attachment, which can be either a router, grinding wheel, or cutter, is then mounted onto the end of the arbor. The cutting table is usually equipped with an adjustable vice, enabling the operator to securely hold the material while it is being shaped. It also features a handwheel that is used to precisely adjust the position of the material relative to the pivot arm. Furthermore, a threadless nut-based system is used to attach the material to the vise, allowing for even greater accuracy when it comes to positioning. Overall, Pantograph P1-3 is a reliable, user-friendly machine tool that can shape a variety of materials with precision. It utilizes a simple mechanical system to accurately adjust the angle of the pivot arm and the position of the material, as well as a secure vice that enables the operator to manipulate the material with confidence.
