hey how come you had to ride the stylist (idk if thats how you spell it) along the very bottom edge to get it to fit? You cut it once as big as it goes, didn't fit, then went near the bottom probably thinking it will fit.. then it didn't so you had to go down the slope to the edge just barely riding the template to get it to fit.... is that typical? seems like the template was a little off... curious because i want one! thanks
Hi Todd! I have forwarded your question to our experts. Our experts will reply directly here. Please allow 1-2 business days for our experts to respond. Thank you!
The machine came with defective castings. It took me 8 months to get replacement parts and ever since punished by Mac Sheldon by canceling accessory orders and blocking me from the blog. The machine is great but the people selling it, not so much! Thanks
Why not make the system to work properly the first try? It appears to me, from an engineering perspective, that the designer intentionally created the templates variable in size (with the slope contour) to compensate for some wide tolerance in the entire system. I was sold on this system for production work until I watched this video.
Impractical unless you have a production line to feed. It's like the Woodrat, great until you see how long it takes to set up. As someone has said. The Domino is much more practical. I hope Matthias Wandel is getting a kick back from these machines.
Matthias didn't want royalties. His agreement with Kuldeep (I think that is his name) was that Kuldeep sent a metal pantorouter once he sold so many of them.
I haven't seen any one who has reviewed the thing after hundreds of hours of use. I have not taken one apart but from what I can see the bearings on the pivot points don't seem to be anything more than steel pins in slip fit aluminum. I just can't see that thing standing up to use. the frame being made from extruded members also looks flimsy. It just looks like a toy.
Disagree, the Pantorouter is far less limited than a Domino and Mortice and Tenons are proven to be stronger than floating tenons. Obviously, the Domino is a great tool, but it is also far more limited than a Pantorouter. Can you do box joints or dovetails on a Domino? Nothing works in production like a Domino, but the Pantorouter is also a production machine that does far more.
Great video presentation - easy to understand - Thank You!
Cute, 13:10 picture frame on the left side showing a small horse in the woodshop.

Looks likes it would take a little practice getting familiar with everything. Awesome tool.
That tenon looked pretty loose going in..?
Quick setup.
What size are those F clamps?
Hi Todd! I have forwarded your question to our experts. Our experts will reply directly here. Please allow 1-2 business days for our experts to respond. Thank you!
The clamps have about a 6” capacity.
@@Wwgoa so on the website i cant make out the inscription but sounds like 60 x 160?
Well done George.
how does this compare to the JDS MultiRouter ???
I am sorry but I've never used the MultiRouter, so I can't compare the two tools. Thanks.
Brilliant 👌🏼🤗

X2 on Matthias, but I believe that he is and that he owns the patent on them.

@@TimRoyalPastortim Not sure about that.
@@adrianmack3 I think Matthias missed a trick then if that's the case. He should have sold it to one of the big tool manufacturers.
@@GrahamOrm He is promoting the metal pantorouters on his channel which leads me to believe he has an interest.
price in indian crruncey
Great tool but crazy price. Hard to justify over $2,000, and at that price it doesn’t even come with a router.

The rods are 6mm stainless steel not aluminum.
A festool. Domino is much faster and cleaner.
Just pay the price!

Also, the dust collection shroud is partially missing so you can see, so far cleaner than the video shows.
Festool Domino machines and pantorouters are very different machines. Both have their strengths but are otherwise not suitable for direct comparison.
