Panto Router VS Multi Router

[CarlF]

Hey all,
I'm in the process of setting up my shop and need some input regarding the Panto Router and the Multi Router. I'm taking on a project where I'll be using the Multi Router at HCC. As such, I'm thinking I might benefit from getting one for my shop. A google search of comparing the two has come up with little. Does anybody have experience using both of these machines? If so, what are the main differences or pro/cons?
Thanks,
Carl

I know you asked for experience on both of the machines, but I can chime in on the Pantorouter. I have had mine for about 6 months now and love it. Short learning curve and easy to work with.

I have never used the Pantorouter but I do have a lot of experience with the Multi Router. The Multi Router is great for making mortise and tenons. My go to joint is a floating tenon and it is fast and accurate for that. The more familiar with it you become the more you will like it. I just started to use it to haunch out beaded face frames. That being said.... it does have a learning curve.

There is a Pantorouter with all accessories available in Davidson.
