Overview:
We have
been working to establish a metal, woods, and plastics shop and the New
Hermes Pantograph engraver was one of the tools that we new we needed to
purchase. We spent a fair amount of time compiling manuals,
photos, and information to help us ensure that the engraver we purchased
was right for our business needs and we are offering this information
for sale. Following is a description of the contents of this CD
and we are confident that this will help anybody that has a New Hermes
Pantograph but it will be an even greater help to anybody looking to buy
one! The CD is a MS Windows compatible 52x CD with most of
the files being convenient Adobe Acrobat or typical JPEG or GIF web
graphics.

CATALOGS AND
PRICE GUIDES |

1996 New Hermes Engraving Materials and Accessories Catalog (55
Pages):
This catalog provides and overview of New Hermes materials and it
was scanned and converted to full color PDF to allow you to flip
through the pages to come up with ideas. Obviously you will
want to get a newer catalog when you are ready to place an order
but this will allow someone just starting out a way to see the
various materials, objects, accessories, and other items that were
available in 1996 and are likely still available today in one form
or another. |
| |
New Hermes Master Copy Type Catalog (20 pages)
This catalog is extremely useful for it provides information on
how to select the correct font for the job, selecting the correct
size and type of font, etc. It also provides visual charts,
symbols information, and information about the various types
including the catalog numbers and SAMPLES for each! This
catalog would be a huge help for the bargain hunter looking to
pick up used fonts online but you are not sure what the font
number means or what the letters really look like! |
| |
1996 New Hermes
Cutters Catalog (6 pages)
This is another extremely
useful catalog to have on hand as it describes the various
materials that we may wish to engrave with an New Hermes
Pantograph and also describes cutters available for the New Hermes
Engravers and which cutters are best for the various materials.
This document describes rotating cutters, their spindle speeds,
tip sizes, special application cutters as well as non-rotating
engraving such as diamond gravers. This contains figures and
drawings as well as the very useful catalog numbers and sizes! |
| |
Various other
Catalogs and price lists
The CD includes several other
catalogs and price lists that will help place a dollar value on
the various New Hermes machines, accessories, materials, etc.
I know I have found it useful to evaluate the cost of the various
fonts and cutters but these do cover just about everything New
Hermes sells. I am not going to try to list them all here as
you get the idea of what is on this CD by now! |
| |
|
BRAILLE
INFORMATION The CD contains a fair amount of
information on Braille and especially the Raster Braille system.
I mention this here as I know that Braille is an essential part of
engraving and the information may be useful to someone that buys
the CD. |
| |
|
PHOTO RESOURCE The CD also includes a collection of
photos that I have compiled to help us understand and appreciate
the differences between the various New Hermes engravers.
The CD contains photos of the F-3, GM, GM3, IL-K II, ITF, ITF-II,
ITF-V, M, M3, VB and VB-II pantograph engravers. There are a
few additional folders for bevellers, plastic saws, metal shears,
ring engravers, and more. Again, these are photos I have
compiled from all over and they are handy to have when looking at
these manuals on the CD when you don't own the machine yet! |
