Milescraft 1298 Product reviews

Milescraft 1298 Review by Jack A. Loganbill "Jack Loganbill" (Chicago)

I am very impressed with this pantograph. I had less than three evenings to design and build a commissioned box out of oak, with carved inset lettering. After fussing around with the carving, I visited a local woodworkng store and the sales associate recommended this pantograph.

It took about two hours to set up the pantograph, design and print my own letter templates, test, and finish the routed inset letters.

During my testing I came up with a method to evenly space the letters, but ended up doing it by eye during the production run.

I used the Milescraft roundnosed router bit. I also tried a v-groove bit and determined it would better for line drawing and lettering outlining.

I produced the letter templates using Coreldraw and set the pantograph to 50% reduction. Since I needed 3-1/2" inset letters, I created 7"+ letter templates. The 50% reduction is a great idea, as it reduces imperfections as you follow the letter with the stylus. I found that you can use the pantograph to carve any line drawing or lettering that will fit on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Actually, though 11" may be the tallest template size, you can print a banner of any length and rout it, moving the workpiece as necessary. The ingeniously simple wedge and fence mode of clamping the workpiece works great.

I mounted the pantograph to the 48" x 20" plywood as recommended in the instructions. Worked out perfectly, but now I need to find a place to hang it.

I am a semi-pro, with a shop full of professional tools and always thought that the Milescraft Pantograph was a flimsy gimmick. Absolutely not so. I could not be happier with the pantograph and plan to use it a ton for future projects.

Note: I would have saved $10 by purchasing it through Amazon, but I had to finish a rush job, so I bit the bullet and purchased it locally.

Milescraft 1298 Review by Garritt J. Fauria "Screenmobile" (Gardnerville NV)

So, if I had bought this as a sign maker it probably would have gone right back in the box and returned. But, I had to copy a design from paper to wood as a prototype. Aside from a CNC machine this was my only option. The direction are comically bad. The construction is ok. The quality of the finished product is entirely dependant on how steady of a hand you have; unless you are using a hard template. If you are trying to make something that nothing else will make this might do it...it does work. But, if you are trying to make signs to sell...I would go with something else.

Milescraft 1298 Review by Bill

Saw this pantograph adveritsed online and wondered if it would really do all it's supposed to. Bought one to find out and it works great. I make hand carved signs and use the pantograph to add custom pictures. It's as simple as tracing.
