Summary for green engraver parts Discussion
Green engraver parts and manuals are hard to find, and the thread repeatedly suggests that these machines are largely out of production. In the older Model 106 question, the answerer said the model is no longer in production and that parts are unavailable, noting they only learned this because their own workplace was missing parts. Later posts from owners of a Green 106 and a D-2 ask for manuals, cutters, collets, stylus, motors, pulleys, and other documentation, but no source is provided in the excerpt. The page also includes a general request to share manuals or excerpts privately for posting, while commercial offers should be handled privately. Overall, the practical takeaway is that owners should expect limited availability and may need to rely on private networking, used parts, or alternative equipment such as CNC.
Quickstart:
Green products and parts seem virtually unavailable these days, but ask what you will and share what info you can! If you’re looking for something, please feel free to post an RFQ so people can contact you in private.
If you can offer a manual or an excerpt, please attach it to e-mail to finishingdotcompublic@gmail.com for posting here.
But sorry, we don’t have a fraction of the horsepower & bandwidth we’d need to try to be a free eBay, and would drown under spam in a week. So apologies, but we can’t post offers to sell.
RFQ: I just purchased Green engraver too. Looking for manuals, collets, stylus etc

A. No the drive band is not an o-ring, it is a tiny belt that is no longer available from manufacturer but you might be able to get a vacuum belt that might fit. The one I use at work has a 6 inch belt on it.

Q. Here’s another fine old machine that migrated to our shop minus key parts. Old machines often come with a collection of stray items and attempts to improvise … this being another example.
Does anyone have the time to post a close up picture of the lower bearing housing cap for the cutter assembly of a Green Engraver 106? We can fabricate it, but if there are parts collectors out there, I would also like to see photos of what else might be missing.
I am taking this machine on before delving projects on a Lars Gorton Pantomill that came from the same estate sale. My work will be published in the next few years as shop manuals for advanced carvers. Some of my projects are also being prepared for bronze casting.

You are all off the hook on this now… our local machinist wizard has cast his spell and is up to date fascinated with embellishing items for the pantograph. My first test was, “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR”. Thanks for posting all the helpful elves and wizards advice. John

Reassembling a Green pantograph
Q. I have a Green pantograph model D-2; my problem is that I took the arms apart to clean, and lost the order of reference. Can anyone help me with the correct instructions on how to reassemble the ratio guide arms back correctly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

A. Hi – I saw your question on re-assembly of a Green Engraver. I have a model 2 D that I just acquired with some other equipment. I do not know much about this equipment but I could take pictures of if that is any help.

A. Thanks for posting the pics, Anne — people have been looking for them for a long time! If you are looking to sell this inherited item, try listing it on eBay or Craigslist … and if no luck, you can donate it at freecycle.org. But your pics will help people in any case!
