LastRonin Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 All I could find is that he was a blacksmith. He wrote a few books/booklets. Designed an LP burner. The H stands for Hans. And on a forum for metal artists that looks like it is using the same base software as this one, someone asked about his pattern cut out device and it was referenced to a similar to a cnc plasma pattern cutout device (Not sure if that is what H. Peot's was used as.). Found that using Bing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
territorialmillworks Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Wonder if it was a pentagram device used with an O/A torch.. I used one to make an 1 1/2 thick eccentric for a tire hammer years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Um, ah, maybe you mean a pantograph device? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph I think pentagrams would be a totally different forum board, black magick instead of blacksmiths.

Glenn Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I spoke with Mr. Peot this afternoon. It is a 10 page book showing how to make a magnetic follower and uses a cutting torch to cutout patterns. There is a solenoid that controls the Oxygen supply on the torch to turn it on and off. He said he cut out a bunch of patterns with his set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsmith Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks for satisfying my curiosity Glenn!!! It sounds a little out of my league for what i do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeatGuy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I have one of these machines. I use it when I need a bunch of parts now and do not have time to wait to get them plasma cut. They are portable and VERY useful. I have cut parts up to 3" thick with this machine. I will make a video of it in operation in the morning and post it when I get home. brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
