Re: new member from south central Pa.
Thanks guys for your warm welcome. The augenstein does the same job as the janvier, which is producing 3-D bas relief images on steel die blanks from a sculpted master, usually at about a 6 to 1 ratio. Yes, it's the same machine as on the Gold Machinery site. (I noticed they have 2 other machines listed as well.) I have photos of my augenstein as well as the operating manual if anyone is interested.
My Gorton machine is a P1-2 which engraves 2-D and can produce modelled dies by varying the engraving depth. Looking forward to visiting the Engraving forum often.
