Gorton P1-2 Pantograph Fonts

I also have a P1-2.
Some people might suggest it just takes up floor space.
I've used it her for 4 projects since Nov 1 2023.
Is huge fun! However, there is a significant learning curve, well there was for me. Your mileage may be different.

Sorry no extra fonts.

Thanks Daryl,
Yeah I've done a couple of projects already and two more in the wings.

I've been able to get by with the incomplete font set I have but really need at least one complete set.
 
Do you have one of each letter?
You can copy letters at a 1:1 ratio to expand the count.
Which letters do you need, from which set?
If I have a matching set I could make you several letters, if my sets happen to match your gaps.
Shearing the brass and beveling the edges gets problematic. But it's all doable.

I’ve got a 3U and some fonts. They are the brass ones with angles so they slip right in to the slot, if they are the same I might be able to send you some if I have duplicates.

The letters fit the same.
The angles and bevels make it difficult to copy. But is doable.

I'm missing the I,J,L and T also missing the #1.
I don't want to impose and ask you make any though.

My plan was to 3d print some and transfer over 1:1 on brass strips like you described. I can see how shearing them would warp and bend. I was thinking about rough cutting them on the band saw then cleaning them up with a endmill or slitting saw. Then milling the angle which I think is 20°.
 
How thick is the brass?
 
Yours are rectangles. That's helpful.
I've got some that are skewed.
Do you know the designation for this type and kind?
