Large mortise and tenon on the pantorouter

[jackcamino]

hi Matthias, with the pantorouter can you also make a wedged through mortise and tenon joint?

Also, is there a way to make the corners at 90 degrees instead of a curve? Thanks for posting and good luck!!

[Matthiaswandel]

No and no.

The bit is round, so the corners are always curved. And it doesn't tilt. You'd have to chisel the wedge part out by hand.

[jackcamino]

@Matthiaswandel thanks.

[DrEMplushrest]

This is a really clever idea for a machine and it works fantastically! Great!

[shpayts]

You are A genius!!!

[FANNANCO]

You are amazing

how much the pantorouter if i want to buy one

[Matthiaswandel]

That depends on who you find to make one for you. Sorry, I don't have the time.

[FANNANCO]

@Matthiaswandel

Hi

Can I buy the plan?

[Matthiaswandel]

Follow the URL at the end of the video.

[scarred4life1]

Thats a great way to make toothpicks haha. Those shavings are crazy..

[mixturebeatz]

ahh listen to that vacuum

[andruzzz1]

hello design was very creative, I would like to know the measurements of the prototype design or Rauter, I'd appreciate if you could send me the exact measurements of it, thanks

[Matthiaswandel]

I would appreciate it if you bought the plans. You get the exact measurements and more that way.

[atifhasan79]

@Matthias.. brother you are a genius !!!! thats a great machine that you designed!

[scjtraveler]

I've been following your site for about 2 years. You're brilliant. I think I'll buy your plans and build one. I use sketch up all the time so that works out great for me too. Where would you locate a dust pick-up... below the table on the operator side, or on the table as separate fixture above the work? Also would some sort of baffle attached to the router mount work to divert the router motor's exhaust air?

[Matthiaswandel]

It depends on what you are cutting. The problem is that the machine is so versatile and has a large range of motion. So you would have to make several dust pickups for different applications. And the dust pickup would obstruct your field of view. Maybe just mount a 4" dust hose near the work piece to pick up all the

airborne stuff, then sweep up the big chips later.

[smiley235]

What kind of wood are you using in a lot of these videos?

[Matthiaswandel]

I use a lot of spruce because it's cheap. For hardwoods, mostly birch and maple because of the tight closed grain.

[masterfenixxx]

GENIUS!!!!!..2 tha Mancave Robin!!!

[woodentoolcompany]

Nice machine, Reminds me of my Floating router!

[pinehillprimitives1]

I'm curious, can this machine do an angled tenon, such as one for a chair rail to the legs. Great machine looks like it works amazingly for straight mortise and tenon joints.

[Matthiaswandel]

You would have put a wedge under the chair rail part when you mount it on the machine, and the tenon would then be at an angle.

[pinehillprimitives1]

@Matthiaswandel You have come up with some very ingenious machines, this one is very impressive. If you put a hinged adjustable table on it that would raise from 0 to 90 degrees I believe that could work for a angled tenon without having to make a wege for different angles. Is it possible to add an adjustable table without redesigning it?

[Matthiaswandel]

Of course that's possible. Question is, does it make sense to?

Everything that is adjustable can be misadjusted. I just don't find myself cutting angled tenons often enough, so it's better to have the table non-adjustable.

[yacrafter]

It does, works very well. I was'nt picking on your design, or for that matter the machine. I was just guilty of thinking out loud. I'm an avid tinker'er, and enjoy making jigs/fixtures for woodworking. About half of my ideas end up in the bin, so I guess I should be ignored about the the same amount of times. Cheers.

[yacrafter]

Have you ever thought of a solid bearing or a ball (stylist) to allow cutting paths on the Z axis? Not sure how that would work out, but it would be interesting.

[Matthiaswandel]

The machine does what it was designed to do and do it well. It does enough already and wasn't designed to do everything.

[hillpanther]

again salute you from the country of rising sun japan!!!

A very happy new year.thais is what i really need.

[LukeMcBrick]

Overall, how much money have you spent on wood?, and is the the wood you get expensive, or cheap in value?

[homosapienssapiens19]

2:18 its raining!

wood shavings?

4:20 another shaving storm, wow

[homosapienssapiens19]

2:18 its raining!

wood shavings?

[MrDaldagnuur]

this guy can make wooden space ship

[allanseeder]

amazing you are a true inventor

[allanseeder]

amazing

[specialks1953]

I have looked at several of your building the machine videos text but I do not find what brand and model router you used for this project and others. Will you post the brand & model? I am wondering if I can afford to attempt some of these projects. I am sure I could adapt another router but I would like to know what you bought because I am sure you checked them out well before deciding on the brand and model. Thank You In Advance for the info and Thank You For Your Videos ! ! !

[Matthiaswandel]

I bought the store brand router from a store called "Canadian Tire". It was the cheapest one I could find.

[specialks1953]

@Matthiaswandel - Thanks

[thdominat0r]

this machine is genious...i can't say it enough! also, i can't resist pointing out the very nice looking finger joints at 1:03 and 4:26 haha

[phooesnax]

Awesome job. Seems like a second pantograph used to reverse draw/engineer you templates would make the whole process complete.

[phooesnax]

Great job. You accomplish amazing feats. I wonder if you could speed up template design by building identical pantograph used in reverse to draw the templates?

[DragOzze]

I dont really care about woodworks details I just like to watch how you build stuff :P

[specialks1953]

Holy Crap, I am going to have to quit watching your videos. I feel soooooo inadequate now. You may have ruined my desire to go on. I am sure some are inspired by your videos but I guess I am not strong enough.

[slayerguitar]

wow it would be a great tool in your arsenal when you have alot of large tenons and mortises to cut but for a small project would it be worth doing all the calculations?

[jims1964285]

very nice

[wjacksonthree]

thank you for posting your work! there really is allot to be learned here.you continue to impress with your creativity and knowledge! keep it up!

[Sully800]

Incredible fit! Great work Matthias

[SkippyTheGoat]

You are extremely gifted. I think working with your hands and creating something is the most satisfying thing you can do.

[fangus503]

Dude, you have to be somewhat amazed at how well all your homemade wooden tools work.

[killaxKidx]

Srsly you have alort of skill its good for you wow i dont get how to apply maths with wood just not that smart yet well as you anyway love ur vids awesomemaang :D

[RockinGuy1994]

That is a awesome jig!

[Duracelpupu]

youre like the macgyver but times two

[Hadamona]

Who needs to build furniture when your machines are better than most furniture!

[unusualcatperson]

So mostly out of curiosity, how hard is this contraption on your arm? It's got to tire it out after a while.

[Matthiaswandel]

The original prototype was a bit hard on the arm, but this machine has springs to counteract the weight of the router, so it's quite light on the handle.

[unusualcatperson]

@Matthiaswandel Oh yeah, I remember you saying that in another video. Silly me :)

[ploetzlich30]

one person seems to be blind for the awesomeness of this machine!

i love the result this machine is putting out! i would probably do some serious work, if i had this machine! thumbs up!

[huntinater6k]

u shuld come to my engineering class some day

[pumkinvine]

I was wondering how you got the registration between the template and the table, now I know. Awesome machine.

[PXHXIXL]

you're genius!



[SimTune]

its snowing at your video :P

[Yeti22]

What an awesome machine!!

[Matthiaswandel]

I thought about using fixed washers as well. They would certainly work, but bearings are nicer. If your follower is polished, it would probably be almost as nice to use as a bearing.

Router bit sets tend to have some bits with 1/2" bearings on them, so that size is easy to get. The closest I could get to 1" was 26 mm.

[roman3of23]

I have to build this machine

[stefan232]

Can you make gears with that machine or make the horizontal version of the machine and cut gears or anithing just like the cnc.

[Matthiaswandel]

Could be done, but I'd still have to make a gear shaped template to make the gear. And it takes me very little time to make a gear on the bandsaw.

[Faheemdamji1]

5:26

thats what she said.

[attainableapex]

you should try and make a sliding dovetail with this

[barakuda1111]

plop :)

[Kratax]

Good

[ricande]

You are the golden god of woodworkings.

[pwashington99]

Amazing!!! Can't wait to start building this!!

[BernhardHofmann]

Another video of awesomeness from the master.

[puffcock]

lol at pops

[TheDivineCellphone]

So.. your'e building a table ?

[techwizzy]

WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD!!!

[manx1324]

i laughed at the pops :D

[montycat5]

Your the best.

Just sayin.

[Hexpigge]

Geez, why the hell someone is saying first? :D anyway. Nice vid, IDK how come all these are interesting but they just are :D
