A very nice machine, and reasonably priced (or at least, a lot less than what I would charge) - Навчання та стиль
It's amazing that you invented and created a fantastic machine that any respectable woodworker would love in his shop. It's even more amazing that - instead of capitalizing off of it by selling plans - you just gave it away in the name of fine woodworking.
You're what we call a stand-up guy. Cheers!
I think he did try to sell it initially. But, yeah, he's one of the few left that are motivated by things other than money.
Just got the first pantorouter in South Africa today from Kuldeep! I haven't opened it yet and came to watch this video (yet again) I think that Matthias's machines are all brilliant, but the pantorouter is just awesome! Kudos to Kuldeep as well for making it easier for guys like me who want the machine, but don't want to build it from scratch. Both machines are beautifully made, and in today's world of mass produced tools manufactured to last in direct proportion to their "made in China" label, Kuldeep's version of the machine is made with a passion for excellence as can be seen on his videos. Well, I'm off to open a few boxes!
It's one thing building off your own plans and mind, another to reverse engineer something to a different material. The guy did a great job
love that you when you found out that someone else had used the design you didn't freak out, you talked to them and came to a compromise and worked with them. good on you! that is how new things like this get made. thank you.
Your videos are really good. No chitchatting for minutes before actually showing what you want to show and no silly long introductions! Your videos already helped me a lot. I just glued together the final pieces of a project I am working on, and thanks to you it was way easier to work on it!
Man... I wish I was in Japan or the states. Last year I spent 3 months drawing out plans for something similar using Misumi extrusions only for them to say "we do not sell to individuals as we cater to the industrial market". So much for supporting innovation. I even had plans to use it in a robotics lesson for my students. I love the fact that they'll cut and drill the holes for you with very tight tolerances. Good job Kuldeep. Wish you success and hope to get one some day.
Your wooden machines are finally coming to life Mathias. I am intrigued by the materials used by kuldeep, tonight will be devoted to researching this material.
fantastic execution of your design. I'm sure you are very pleased that your invention was popular enough for someone to produce a kit. I'm glad he sent you one for free.
that's a massive achievement, having your own design mass produced, well done sir, well done
The lose slot you cut is actually great for glue, giving good glue space. My opinion...
Yes, I'm sure you will do fine cutting tenons or dovetail joints, or even mortises of anything but the prescribed sizes with that festool.
the best thing in all this is beauty in finding simple solutions for various demands, how simple was idea to temper edges of template and make tenons a bit smaller. i really enjoyed this video
You are like the Nutty Professor of woodwork and I mean that in the best possible way. All you videos are great. You make woodwork look scientific. I wish I was half as clever with wood as you are. Keep these videos coming.
If you ever do some factory tour, you will see rails like that used to build various custom jigs and enclosures.
You look so excited opening it up, like a little kid during Christmas. :) Thanks for the video.
Great interpretation of your design and he did well to make a kit that is easy to put together and actually works. If it passes your scrutiny, it must be a winner! Reasonably priced against the other limited alternatives. Very cheap when compared to the multi-router!
Great progress, nice surprise to see you expand an idea that has evolved to this!
Brilliant machine, your design skills are the best around and have to be admired,however, your unpacking skills require further attention. Keep up the good work.
that guy really took the time to make a great product. To only have a couple design adjustment done from matthias says it all. GJ !
Wow! What an amazing thing. And all the little details such as the tapered templates are just incredible.
You have good presentation. No distracting speeches. Love your video.
I respect your curiosity of the construction and design of the product.
Very nicely constructed. I think the price is fair. People that cry at the price have no idea what it takes to ,make a quality machine.
when you started to put it together I thought typical bloke not looking at the instructions,hey I guess you dont need them,I bow down to your superior knowledge,great projects mate,keep them coming,all the best from yorkshire england
malcolm oxley Not only did I change how it's supposed to go together, I then wrote new instructions! Commander zod doesn't read instructions. He writes them.
hahahaha well done commander zod all the best from commander daft sod (yorkshire for silly fella)

He did design this particular pantorouter so he knows the assembly. A guy took his plans and designed this metal one. The medium has changed from wood to aluminum.
Hi Justin,as per my original comment to Matthias,I was joking with him about typical blokes not reading instructions,I know he designed and wrote the instructions,I wasn't critical of him what so ever just having a bit of banter thats all,he is amazing at all he touches isnt he? cheers malc
It's pretty cool all the things you can make with that 80/20 stuff. Many people build their CNC mills with those extrusions. Not the cheapest stuff to use, but really, really cool. Nice implementation of your Pantorouter!
Brings me back to a machine upgrade I did with those aluminum beams, but much much larger. Very easy stuff to work with though. Very light weight to move around as well.
It is a real pleasure to see your mind at work.
Thanks, Matthias. I'd already watched all of Kuldeep's videos. Very interesting version of your design.
Congratulations! It seems that you're inspiring everybody, not only amateurs (like me - if I can name myself an amateur due to my lack of creations until present time :) ).
All the best!
I don't need one in the slightest, but if I did I would strongly consider a design of this nature - it's ingenious.
That is awesome. No doubt about it, your design was a real winner. It's neat to see the idea in metal.
That thing is pretty cool. Not the kind of thing you would want for a one off job but if you are using all the time, it must really make life more easy.
You are one of the most talented people I have seen on UA-cam, but it was hard to watch you open that package with everything spilling everywhere.
The person who made this did a good job!
Definitely more expensive than building it yourself, but a much better deal than something like the Leigh FMT pro, or the MCLS multi-router, and people buy those machines too.
That tapered template is a brilliant idea, it will wear in time, but that makes it good too as you will have to adjust for wear anyway, I also like the peg holes on the template board, that is great for "plug and play". Overall you would probably need 5 numbers noted down on a template to get it back on the job.
I'm buying your plans, the 18 + 3... But some of the things the metal one has I'm going to add, like the aluminum handle with the easy to switch from slot to mortis. I have a foundry forge, and can cast my own. Looking forward to building it and shooting a video.
GREAT video I love it its so releaxing to see and hear you being busy. keep up the good work!
Amazing. I wanted one as soon as I saw it. But then the price. . I'm a beginner hobbyist not a professional, so i think it will be more rewarding building it out of wood after all. And obviously more beautiful. Hats off to kuldeep though - very well thought out construction solution..
I bet it felt neat seeing someone else's take on your original design.
Before this video, I had no idea what a panorouter was or what it did, other that some form of routing. Thanks for the video. Now i know what one is xD.
Christmas came early for Matthis this year!
This kind of collaboration for the sake of creating something instead only for monetary gain is what makes the world a bit better.
Lovely machine, I am sure a lot of your other great designs could be commercialised as well
i rarely work with wood, but i do want one. i think it would be a great tool for someone starting out.
Hello dear Mathias. I closely watch your processing. I love your talent. You are a true engineer. I borrowed some tools. I help them in their work. I want to say thank you. You are done! I have paid all-metal pantorouter and wait the parcel Singh. I hope I will be pleased machine. Thank you again! Здравствуйте уважаемый Матиас. Я внимательно слежу за вашими работками. Мне очень нравится ваш талант. Вы настоящий инжинер. Я перенял некоторые приспособления. Мне они помогаю в работе.

Good night, I would like to know where I buy
Pantorouter unboxing and assembly
I'm not selling either of mine (I think I'll alternate which one I use moving forwad). But price onthe website.. See the link.
Nice piece of precise kit , lucky you you have two , great video, Ty
Fantastic piece of kit. Perfect for me.
looks like an adult version of standardized building system, like an erector set or lego. pretty cool stuff.
Awesome machine! Super quality it seems.
It's like the world best Meccano set! I so want to build one myself now :D
At least one brand of them markets themselves as the "Industrial Erector Set". Very nice system to work with.
Can't wait to see if this metal version will replace your wooden one. Even though the metal version seems to have some nice template aligning features, I would probably still stick with my own creation... not sure why. Great video!
é possivel adquir esse pantógrafo aqui no brasil?
I have hundreds of feet of that extrusion... about 400 to 500 feet of various sizes. It's incredible stuff. Mine is from the 80/20 company... It's not cheap but I was lucky as it was given to me.
I'm pretty stoked about this!
Very nice. Never expected to see something made out of metal though!
Since the templates are tapered you need to make a spacer that would enable you to do repeat cuts otherwise you would lock the follower at different locations, resulting in wider of narrower tenons.
Excellent Tutorial - Thank you.
bell work compliments respect you would like to ask you a question where can I get the engine?
Is there somewhere to buy those aluminum tracks and braces so you could just build whatever you want out of them with a hacksaw?
My bad misinterpreted the beginning of the video then understood! Exceptional design
Would it be possible to combine the slot mortiser and the panto router into an even more versatile machine? If the pantorouter had the slot-mortiser's X-Y mechanism instead of just X, one could also use it for quick cuts that don't need templates?
me puedes pasar la direcion para los planos
that's ingenious. what a brilliant idea
Didn't know they made aluminium pieces like theses, it looks so easy to build stuff with these !!! :)
I think this system originated in optics as in that field there is a great need for straight beams on which you can mount stuff (lenses, lasers) at right angles. I have used such pieces for several projects. They are quite expensive, but absolutely straight, light and durable.
you can get extruded aluminum tubing in all kinds of form factors, its great stuff because its light and rigid. good for making home made 3 axis CNC or 3D printer frames.
Matthias, I have bought one of the new pantorouters I saw in your videos. My question is they seem to have made a lot of changes since yours was shown. The one that really bugs me the worst is the plexus guide holder that holds the different guides on the back top, when I opened my shipment up there wasn't any in the box. I called Max at the woodcraft supplier and was told the company had done away with them because they broke to easy, but I noticed you still had one in your video. They make a huge difference, because there is not enough room on the bar they supply with the unit to get enough separation on a lot of the setups I wish to do! So I wanted to know if there is someplace I can get one of the plexiglass holders that you have to work with. This is really disappointing to me with this machine, if I had known they had made so many changes I'm not sure I would have bought one. Thank you for any help you may offer? I do enjoy your videos! Bob Davis I subscribe to your videos, you do a good job!
Does the metal, pre-made version do anything your wooden version cannot do?
Looks like great machine.
you are right.but only table top is from misumi.because only misumi made 300mm wide extrusion other company end up at 200mm.
rest of extrusions are from different Japanese companies
An impressive machine. But also an impressive amount of assembly. More than just "Some assembly required."
Very nice machine. If i had the money i would look at buying one of these or your set of plans not sure which one thu yet
Sweet bit of (somewhat) home-made kit by a collaboration between two people who use their brains (and aren't lazy). Nice!
Btw, Kuldip Singh sounds like an Indian (perhaps a Punjabi) name (though he may be based out of Japan)...
That looks a lot like a material made by a company called 8020. Its inexpensive extruded aluminum which you can pretty much turn it into anything. Perhaps you should look into it for a future project.
seems like the next step would be to add some servos and a computer and make a CNC automatic pantograph, so that you can work on something else while it cuts. Also looks like with a few simple connections you could run these in parallel, 2 or more pantographs run by one master controller. Another idea would be a dremel 4000 sized pantograph, that could also mount as a 3d pantograph, license that to bosh and you're able to do even more.
good point, but it is an interesting way to set up a CNC mill no.
GreningerProductions No.
Those T tracks are so cool, wish I had a use for them LOL
Hello Matthias,
In description is wrong link to buy subpage (kluldeep vs kuldeep)
br
There goes my end of year bonus, I knew it wasn't gunna last!
It's like a manual CNC machine so what else can you do with it.
I like it! And tend to probe into your site more! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! ~M~
Looks easier to build the wooden one.
Nice. How flat/straight do you think these kind of extrusions are.
how much time did it take to build it/figure out the right way?
very nice video, enjoyed watching.
I want to buy like I'm a carpenter and this great event would benefit me a lot in my work where you buy it and how much worth the price?
very nice piece of engineering
Matthias originally designed the Panto- Router , he has some cool videos about it , the machine is made out of wood and a lot of common found hardware , the japanese guy apparently found the idea good enough , so he decided to make a COMMERCIAL version of the machine, I do not know if Matthias filed the invention for copyright but seems that the manufacturer in japan is a ethical guy so he offered a royalty to him.
very nice the crickets do not bother your work?
excellent mechanism!
Building one is certainly more cost effective for most, but plenty of people want one already built. Neither option is for everyone.
good day sir....how much it cost and where shall i buy it...thanks sir....
I know this video is old, but the nice thing about this now is that you could easily 3d print new templates
hola matthias !!! ufff ¡¡¡ cuantas piezas
What about all the saw dust all over, in and between the moving parts. Isnt?
Just ordered mine!
Also, those pre-cut profile extruded metal parts are quite expensive, especially those Router mount parts that seem to be specially machined/made for this machine. Plus nearly 200USD of deilvery cost rises the final price.
Compared to 3D printers or low-end CNC machines I think the price of mechanics is quite fair.
Boa noite.qual é o sait de vendas?onde compro.?
I like to fly by the seat of my pants when putting things together as much as the next guy. But I can't imagine doing that with this. All that alum rail looks exactly the same.
