Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Unique pantograph and could share their pro's and con's. Thanks, Raildriver
Unique Inlay Pantograph

I used one for about two years before I bought my CNC Cuemonster.
It is a very well designed machine and the arm is on bearings that operate so smoothly you get tacitical feedback while cutting the inlays.
That helps keep you from breaking bits.
It is a 2:1 ratio pantagaph which means the template is twice the size of the actual inlay cut into the wood.
This is good as it hides any small imperfections in the template.
It uses two templates one for the pocket and one for the inlay peice.
Its not to hard to make your own templates for inlays up to about 4" long.
Anything longer you will need someone with a CNC to cut a set of templates for you.
It comes with a video showing every thing you will need to know about operating and maintaining it.
