A pantograph to use with the plasma cutter for cutting intricate shapes that would normally require a CNC plasma cutter. woodgears.ca/pantograph/plasma...
yeah I pretty sure anything with metal gear in the URL has been taken , doesn't look like you play video games so you wouldn't know anything about that , or you do and you made a cheeky joke , like how I'm making one on your channel name sounding like a porn site ,
This is THE most efficient video I have EVER seen! Your shop practices are efficient. Your "what if there's a snag" scenarios are efficient. Your editing is efficient. Video & audio is excellent quality. I'm impressed. You give me something to aspire to. Thank you.
I love watching these videos, I'm new to woodworks and its awesome seeing someone who can make such elegant mechanisms from scratch like this. Keep up the great work
UA-cam.. Ha! I should have figured someone has already done this. Matthias, what a great video! I was actually looking up pantographs for the very purpose of adapting one for my plasma cutter. I just never figured on seeing this done and relayed on such a professional level as you have done here. Bravo.
I was sitting here tonight investigating CNC, $$$$, then I had a thought, I had seen a movie years ago and it was set to the 1700s time period. They used a gizmo to counterfeit a signature and after a few minutes googling I had the name " pantograph ". After watching a router pantograph video, I watch yours, This is way cool, thanks for sharing!
Hey Matthias! Love your videos. I work on a CNC plasma cutter at my school and I wanted to let you know that those beads come off very easily with a chisel. Just clamp down the gear and pluck away! Keep up the great work!
Wow Matthias, as always I am impressed with your intelligence, creativity & completion of the projects you share with the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really liked the reamer trick with the pivot pin materiel, the micro switch to control the plasma cutter & of course the possibilities for shapes to be made with such a machine WITHOUT said machine being computer numeric controlled. Not that I dislike cnc machines what so ever.
+John Heisz it should works just fine, but I'd probably try to do some cutting next to a running Shapeoko first to see how well the electronics handle that
Hey Matthias, I've been watching your vids since you made a ukulele! I've never done any of your projects, why would I? I've built houses and all sorts of things when I was young, but I just love seeing your techniques and your problem solving! You have a very creative mind and dynamic thinking and practical skills. It;s great. Thank you.
I'm a HUGE Mathias fan. I'm also right in the middle of building my CNC. The day I see a video come out that says "building a CNC router part 1" from Mathias, I will be the happiest person in the world. I think he would end up with the nicest machine. I wish he wasn't so against building one for some reason.
My son and I built a CNC plasma cutter last summer. He is running a HyperTherm 45. The speed setting to get minimal dross is critical. Each material thickness has to have a different feed speed. We have most thicknesses up to 1/4" figured out. We have played around with 3/8" and 1/2" a little. I am sure that with practice, you can figure out the appropriate speeds. All of the wood working machines are cool. I wish I had them. I did build my own house and accumulated a few wood working tools, but my oldest son became a welder/fitter, so now my shop is filled with mostly metal working tools.
That"s pretty cool bro! the one suggestion I'd offer is: affixing a piece of thin sheet metal to the bottom of the mount that holds the torch will save the wood over time. Great work and thanks for all you do!
ok guys i'm a woodworker but watch my cnc do the woodworking for me,matthias everybody is now having their cnc do the woodworking for them, its like saying i'm a good runner whatch my racing car run. you allways do good woodworking videos i'm glad ,keep it up
I knew, at the moment I had the idea of watching a video of how to build the simplest plasma-router ever, that I HAVE TO VISIT YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hola matthias soy de argentina soy carpintero y me gustan un montón tus maquinas ya me e hecho un par de tus maquinas lo ultimo q ise fue el elevador del Reuter gracias por tus vídeos un abrazo
+Matthias Wandel i see it as a way of doing quick geometric shapes and copying templates roughed out on the bandsaw. but you could also quickly make reinforcing parts for your wooden projects (corners etc) with some simple templates even cutting the screw holes (or plug weld holes). id be excited if i had just created that. last note bathe your steel sheet in white vinegar over night to remove all the rust and scale.
Matthias Wandel I think there is some great potential for these metal gears out of some thicker stock. Would be really cool to try some metal dovetails? See how precise this setup can be!
As a thought, I wonder if you could use a metal plate under the pattern and the metal follower to complete your control circuit. It would give you more control when drawing pretty pictures. Follower up, no cutting, follower down, cutting.
Great idea and a great experiment. Now we know what kind of results to expect. If you can live with deburring the cuts then this is a good option for the guy who has plasma but no plasma cam. It is hard to beat the computer at cutting things. Thanks for the video.
Neat use for a pantograph. Now you need another website for metalgears :).
Steelgears.ca

+fackingpos metalgears.ca is available, but I was joking.
+RimstarOrg A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR.
+fackingpos never had a comment make me almost throw up with laughter. thanks

So refreshing to see this level of competence vs some goober with a hand-held camera.
Very cool project Matthias. As usual, you blow my mind with your ability to make shop-built precision machinery with such creativity and engineering.
Matthias I have to say. After watching a 2 of your videos, I am thoroughly impressed with your talent and skill.
Matthias, you are incredible! Ive never seen anyone with as many talents. Your parents must be awfully proud of you!
I love watching these videos, I'm new to woodworks and its awesome seeing someone who can make such elegant mechanisms from scratch like this. Keep up the great work
dude the tools that you create are so awesome. you got mad skills my friend. this is a awesome one!! much love
UA-cam.. Ha! I should have figured someone has already done this.

I Googled pantograph for plasma cutter... I am so not surprise to find a video with Matthias making one. Amazing guy.

I found your channel about a week ago. You always amaze me! You are great at what you do. I'm glad you get all this support from us
I have tried for forty plus years that get my shop to look as good as yours!!! Finn job young man!!!
Hey Matthias! Love your videos. I work on a CNC plasma cutter at my school and I wanted to let you know that those beads come off very easily with a chisel. Just clamp down the gear and pluck away! Keep up the great work!

dang dude, I could never imagine plasma cutting something this fine, bravo!
Like all your homemade tools, that turned out really nice.
VERY interesting project!
I've been thinking about clamping my plasma to my Shapeoko, and actually getting some use out of it (for a change).
+John Heisz it should works just fine, but I'd probably try to do some cutting next to a running Shapeoko first to see how well the electronics handle that
+Lasse Langwadt Christensen I think the same. I would be careful putting them together.
That's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship!
The dumb little smiley face cracked me up. Very interesting project Matthias. I look forward to seeing how you put it to use in the future.

You never cease to amaze me. Fantastic.
Dude, you are the wizard of pantographing.
I've literally been learning more from you about woodwork than my resistant materials teacher :D
Awesome build! Really cool stuff
Yet once again Matthias amazes us!
It's always a pleasure to watch a brilliant mind at work.
Impressive to say the least! Would be nice to see how it'd perform after correcting the speed and height of the cutter!
+johnnyq90 how is your turbine doing?
You are great at this! My compliments!
Using your own saw milled wood must be incredibly satisfying. Especially since you saved it from the chipper!
I really enjoy watching your videos and I learn a lot with them. thank you!
What a treasure to find your vids on here :) Very fun!
I like that you go straight to the point, no intro and stuffs. Also I'm watching this in 1080p and it feels like 480..
I did not know how pantographs worked before this, Nice video!
Very cool, love the mix between wood and steel.

I am amazed at what you put into this. Remarkable!
Things that are cool as hell:
1. This thing
2. Probably other stuff, maybe
+Brad2Penske Hell has nothing on this in the coolness department.
Double Dare Fan what about the last circle
also parkour and dupstep
Amazing work, as usual :) Greets from Maine USA.
You are a pro indeed. love your videos :)
As always I enjoyed watching and I learned something. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this cideo
Thanks for the awesome video.
You are a gifted fabricator...and a can put together a very cool video!
Cheers
Awesome Matthias ... inspiring.
Amazing skill.
My dad used to say wood is gold and you sure turn wood into gold :D
That"s pretty cool bro! the one suggestion I'd offer is: affixing a piece of thin sheet metal to the bottom of the mount that holds the torch will save the wood over time. Great work and thanks for all you do!
Matthias thanks for being born, this is really usefull
Very nice man! Love it!
Strong work. Please keep the vids coming. I know they're a pain to edit, but it's well worth it. Thanks!
i love your projects!
You are a genius. Thanks for the video, very entertaining and informative as usual.
Mama mia!You are a genious sir!Hats of.
Great job always enjoy your videos
Nice Idea and Project, Matthias
ok guys i'm a woodworker but watch my cnc do the woodworking for me,matthias everybody is now having their cnc do the woodworking for them, its like saying i'm a good runner whatch my racing car run. you allways do good woodworking videos i'm glad ,keep it up
Parabéns Sr Wandel, o projeto é muito bem executado. Precisão e qualidade.
eres un máquina ....Felicidades por tus grandes trabajos....un SALUDO
Wonderful ! Great Job !
I knew, at the moment I had the idea of watching a video of how to build the simplest plasma-router ever, that I HAVE TO VISIT YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're a woodworking mad scientist
Cool video man. keep them coming
Very nice project. I'll need to watch a few more times before I do mine. :)
Sir, your genius amazes me.
incredible job!
hola matthias soy de argentina soy carpintero y me gustan un montón tus maquinas ya me e hecho un par de tus maquinas lo ultimo q ise fue el elevador del Reuter gracias por tus vídeos un abrazo
felicidades eres realmente muy muy hábil me has dado muchas ideas y me has ayudado gracias Matías te considero un maestro
Coolest vid I've seen this week
Neat. I like it. I'd love a plasma cutter one day
crazy idea, great job
Very cool! Looking forward to seeing more metalwork from you Matthias
+Krafty Beard This machine would have been very useful when I made the knife and the hand plane. At the moment, don't have a project in mind for it.

I need to say something to you
You are so talented
A nice build. I wish I could work so quickly, I'd get a lot more done around here!
Great idea and a great experiment. Now we know what kind of results to expect. If you can live with deburring the cuts then this is a good option for the guy who has plasma but no plasma cam. It is hard to beat the computer at cutting things. Thanks for the video.
Man, you are a genious!
This is a really awesome video. Thank you
Very interesting solution!
It's the Steelgears Plasmograph!
@1:09 when you said you were going to cut that piece a bit wider, I had to chuckle. I knew what you meant. thanks. cheers🇨🇦
Yay! Mr. Wandel goes metal shop!
how many days did this take?
Your clamps are nuts!
Very well done. Very imaginative idea that was seen thru to its conclusion. I am impressed
Shhhhafting. . . another awesome vid mr.
That is AWESOME. I wonder how accurate of cuts you can make when duplicating an object with a follower of sorts.
Very cool. nice work.
Pretty cool Matthias
congrats on 700000k subs
Nice build was worried it would catch on fire with the plasma sparks. Good to see that it did not
Have a day
Wow this is awesome.
When I saw that you were making this out of wood I thought you were going to burn you shop down. Amazing..
I'm not sure if he went off the deep end... or if he's genius. But regardless, I'm subscribed and READY FOR MORE.
Outstanding Idea. 2 thumbs..
Do I sense a metal working channel in the future? Great build!
It might not be perfect right away, but since you're some kind of genius it won't take long to perfect. This is really cool stuff though!
The reamer is a top solution!
Suas criações continuar sendo incríveis. Um dia terei coragem pra recriar algumas
Как всегда - гениально!
I'm convinced you could make anything out of wood, given enough time.
+Alexander Borsi Next project is an artificial heart. I'm calling it now. :P
Real amazing design and development.
You're an evil genius my friend. :)
