I've seen this guy on youtube before. I would really like to have some of the "machines". If anyone figures out how to make them let me know.:gar-Bi

Now that is neat!

While I don't have any immediate plans to build a pantorouter, I am definitely going to use his method to make linear bearings for the base of the cross-slide vise on my benchtop mortiser!!!

I want one!

Another project for the TO DO list :rotflm:

Over the last 6 mos or so, he has been fully documenting his plans because he gets so many requests for them. More info at http://woodgears.ca/pantorouter/index.html

Thanks for sharing the link for that. One more machine that I want for my shop. At least this one is only $16 + time + wood.

That was a lot of work to make the DT templates! Here is one case where Autocad and a CNC router would have helped. Because once you get a spot on template you can use the Pantorouter to make as many joints that size as you want to make. Mathias needs to design a template maker for his Pantorouter!

I am surprised he doesn't use drawing programs to design and print stencils for the templates. He clearly knows CAD very well.... Of course, if you had a CNC router to make the templates, why wouldn't you just use it to make the actual joinery?

I'm surprised he hasn't posted printable templates of the templates (yet).
