Hi,
there's a description and a couple of photos on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200181214895&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010.
Can any one see how it actually works?
I would have thought there'd be a 'pin' that you run around the outside of a wooden pattern and the cutting torch on the other end of the rail would follow it.
But on this one, I can't see how it would track around the pattern as it seems to be fixed on the post and at the centre hinge.
I fancy something like this, but I'd also like to combine it with something that I bought my kids many years ago...
that was a fancy plastic jig that allowed the user to trace a small image and double or treble the size on a second sheet of paper.
But I can't remember what that was called or just how it all clamped together.
Any ideas?
Regards
Peter
