I had just bought a vintage K&E Paragon Drafting machine. I am a machining and drafting student at a tech school. I am trying to disassemble the machine, in order to restore it to its former glory. Does anyone has an owner's manual or technical drawing. So I can disassemble it and reassemble...

I have a table exactly like that now being used by my wife for her stained-glass hobby. But I don't have the drafting machine. I have no use for it, but I still found myself a bit envious. Those were very nice drafting machines! I prefer that style to the K&E articulating arm style. Rick "uses...

I have two slide rules beside my chair in the living room, including a K&E with a case like your bottom one. I spent years working with a drafting machine like that one, only on a hydraulic table. (Worked great as a shield for elastic fights on Fridays.) Like others, I really like the CAD age...

A Mutoh with external bands, an awesome drafting machine and you got scales and a scale key as well...... I am Jelly, I spent far more for my Mutoh and the K&E I had...

Hi everyone! I just started machining classes at Laney College located in Oakland, CA. I absolutely love it as I'm coming from an artist's background growing up with a deep appreciation for Japanese craftsmanship. I realized very quickly that technical drawings are a form of art and I'm...

Just bought a K&E 42" Jacob's Parallel Straightedge for $5. It's just beautiful. Fine grain mahogany and maple with a plastic edge. For drawing parallel lines with a drafting machine. Cool looking. Regarding accuracy of micrometers, I tried to get the print dimensions as close as I could. Then...

It is in great condition. But it is a Vemco. Was not aware of Mutoh brand. I had to look them up. Nice! Funny you mentioned the key… I had no idea… here I was trying to remove the scales and the seller grabs the key from tha bag of things he gave me, and shows me how to use it…

I have been drafting for dollars since I was in High school in the very late 70's and the very early 80's, moved to CAD in the early 90's and I truly miss the satisfaction I got when drawing manually. I too still have my tools, I have the Mayline table but my machines were in a house fire a...

Here's a picture of my Home Engineering Office. Other than the computer sitting on my desk. It has been unchanged for the past 50 years. And have used this Hamilton Drafting table. Though I upgraded the Universal BenchMaster arm type drafting machine to the present K &E Auto-Flow track style...

AutoCAD was my work software starting when they took the K&E drafting arm off my desk around 1990. When I bought my retirement machine with Windows 10 at the end of last year, I wasn't going to learn another. I bought an AutoCAD 2007 license off EBay. That was the last year they sold it...

That was back when men were men, they didn't need GPS—if you got lost, you just stayed there and built a new town!

I’m a little younger than you but I still have many of these items from my dad. He worked at United Technologies running the Saturn V test lab. His slide rule is one of my most precious possessions. Thread 'Dad in his shop' https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/dad-in-his-shop.107727/ John
