The trip was supposed to be one to get the Gorton 375-4 Cutter Grinder (the smaller beige machine in the photo above). True, I had recently mused that it might be cool someday to have a 3-D pantograph. 'Be careful what you wish for - you may get it!' :-) Of course, an engraving machine requires cutters, so see - Notebook, and more particularly, within that, (the treatment of cutter grinding by Gorton is better than that in the Deckel manual).

The GK 21 spindle collet is a Deckel proprietary spring collet which uses a non-locking taper and a nut to push the collet into the taper. The 'nose' of the collet sticks through the nut and its flat end is flush with the end of the nut.
