Why wait for a 30-year-old unit to surface on eBay that may be incomplete or no longer has parts available for it? We stock parts that are packaged and ready for immediate delivery.

LETTER HEIGHT = .500" tall   LETTER CIRCLE = 5.5" OUTSIDE EDGE TO OUTSIDE EDGE

USE THIS EQUATION TO DETERMINE THE CIRCLE DIAMETER ON YOUR WORK PIECE. 

5.5" DIVIDED BY YOUR RATIO SETTING= DIAMETER OF THE ENGRAVED CIRCLE. EXAMPLE -----   YOUR RATIO IS SET TO 7:1 SO THE FINAL CIRCLE DIAMETER = .785"  THAT IS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT ON A U.S. NICKEL.  A NICKEL IS .834" DIAMETER.


For sale is a large brass and aluminum circular engraving fixture for new Hermes engraving machines. This unit comes complete with BOTH alphanumeric template wheels (clockwise and counterclockwise) and the operating instructions. This unit is used to engrave characters along a curve or a complete circle around an object.

This unit will work on the larger engraving machines and is most comfortable and easy to work with on the larger machines. As you can see in the photographs it will also fit on the smaller GM model machines. Please note that on the smaller machine you may be limited to a specific ratio for clearance issues because of the size of the fixture. The sample brass engraving was done on the smaller machine. This can be mounted on top of your copy stops using the included hardware or if you have the larger machine you may wish to drill two holes and mount it directly to the steel plate on your machine. This method creates a lower profile and will give you additional clearance if needed between the top of the fixture and your engraving stylus arm.

This unit Can be mounted to your copy stops using the included hardware package. You unscrew your brass thumbscrews and then insert the stainless steel set screws. Leave them loose and then place the template over the set screws which will automatically set the spacing. Then lightly tighten the set screws with a hex wrench. Then just add the brass thumb nuts and tighten it.

Please note that for optimal clearance the preferred method of mounting this fixture to your machine is directly to the copy tray. This will require you to drill two small holes in your copy tray and provide two flat head screws and two wing nuts for the underside of the tray to mount the fixture.


If you pay by noon I will mail the same day for faster service. I also use United States Postal Service priority mail for fast transit times.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HARDWARE KIT THAT IS SUPPLIED HAS FINE THREAD METRIC HARDWARE (5MM .8 PITCH). THIS FITS 99% OF THE MACHINES IN CIRCULATION. HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW MACHINES OUT THERE THAT USE A (SAE) #10-24 UNC AMERICAN PITCH THREAD ON THE COPY STOPS. IF THIS IS YOU PLEASE REQUEST THE 10-24 HARDWARE KIT WITH YOUR PLATE OR THE METRIC VERSION WILL BE INCLUDED BY DEFAULT.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHICH THREAD YOU HAVE YOU WILL HAVE TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN HARDWARE.

The stainless steel ruler and all of the other miscellaneous accessories in the photographs are not part of the sale. For clarity, the sale is for the fixture, brass letter wheel and the mounting hardware with instructions. Thank you for looking
