The Pantograph Router (Panto-router)

[@charlesfee532]

Excellent work ! Your presentation AND the narration is clear, concise and well ordered (organized) ! Thanks ! While I certainly don't have the money right now for a CNC machine (altho I'd LOVE one ! ) THIS could get me WAY down the road with some things I've been wanting to try. All the BEST to you and YOURS, from Texas ! - C.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thanks Charles!

This is a really nice build man. I bought so much stuff to build my own home made CNC machine but they're a bloody nightmare to get everything correct. This is something I could do and make it big anough to be able to do cabinet doors, drawer fronts with nice designs but also if u could mount it differently or also build a table under it where u could stand pieces to vcut mortises nad tenon joints into wood, u know what i mean? this would be a brilliant addition to anybody's workshop plus it doesn't take up the room a CNC takes up. I wasted so much money buying all those parts and I find ur video now. I have a tonne of CNC motors & drivers ,etc. That 2020 aluminium will be handy to build this with though. I have a couple of power supply units which will come in handy for things. This is a really clever build pal. I love it. U have reinvigorated me to get into the shop and change things bcos I had become disillusioned with all this CNC crap. It was a lotta money and I got sick of it. This is a brilliant build and I can build this without worrying about electronics now..

[@matahari5465]

Genius idea what if added to the scale? must be amazing 😮

[@rodrigofajardo6096]

this is the best woodworking tool I've ever seen!

[@ettiennekruger9181]

Awesome piece of machinery. I like. Will definitely look into building 1 my self

[@hondough]

love this. commendable and admirable tear down & re-build - a serious pain in the ass, so, thanks.

[@AbsorberofLight]

you're welcome:)

[@loliyadeeth1786]

Nice and creative ideas. Thanks a lot for all of you for being kind to present them. Nice time to all of you.

[@MikeDittmanmachining]

Just found your channel and really like the design on the fly style. That's how I do most of my metal projects and some of my machining on my channel.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Right on Mike, thanks a lot!

[@dibyjunior6720]

great project, congratulations on the work ...

[@in3432]

Brilliant build and video.

[@jackle3002]

you do some cool stuff man. would love to see some more of your CNC project.

[@AbsorberofLight]

More CNC coming your way!

[@jackle3002]

+Absorber Of Light perfect! I'm trying to get together parts to make one like yours. :p

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Your video popped up in my search engine. I liked the presentation and simplicity as well as the demonstration.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thank you Thomas.

[@oldandfound1]

Could not pull myself away from the CNC build series. Appreciate the many focused "light angles".

[@justincomisk]

Excellent! With the router in the alternate position I could use half scale 3D printed templates, but I guess that configuration would have half the mechanical advantage and an inconvenient stylus placement.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thank you! Yeah it may be a bit awkward.

[@Uniquettt]

brilliant idea I still have my Pantograph from my childhood thanks for sharing a good youtube find

[@robertorodriguez6516]

Excelente.¡¡¡¡¡ Siempre habia querido construir uno de esos.... Ya me diste todo lo necesario para hacerlo.

[@AbsorberofLight]

gracias

[@Daniel-dw8jc]

WOW! Making one ASAP for my plasma cutter! thanks, Bro!

[@lawxr6eBay]

Right on. I'm impressed with how smoothly it moves with no wobble. Are you using nylon washers or bearings at the joints or just metal on metal? Thanks for the video👍

[@JF_Projects]

Great build, what size are the square profiles ?

[@MariettoIdealNew]

Really a very good job! I would like to make a same one. May be do you have a technical draw about it? Thank you!

[@frankberrios9064]

Would love to buy one of these from you! Please let me know!

[@doc1701]

Thanks for taking the time to upload this informative video.

[@خادمقمبر-ك1ض]

Thank you, Professor. .. admire your work from Iraq. .

[@bockforzelorum01]

It's a very good idea to build a Pantograph Router. Greetings from Germany/Saxony.

[@caliper2pc]

Awesome project my friend. Copying hole positions or straight lines directly from a technical drawing (no 3D model needed) can also be done on a milling machine with the Caliper2PC's pantograph feature.

[@arduinomaquinas]

Big show, Like 13K full and subscribed in channel 😉👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@alexramirez572]

Very awsome video!! What if we want to make one where its 1:1 scale? Instead of half?

[@parleckius]

Alex Ramirez look att the beginning of the video, good reklamation there

[@catulebe]

Boa noite amigo. Alguns anos que pesquiso como fazer um pantografo, achei sua explicação excelente. Ótimo seu vídeo.....supimpa. Valeuuuuuuu!

[@johnthompson6656]

Built a similar pantograph years ago to rout lettering for wooden signs. Used large (14") patterns of each letter so the 2 to 1 reduction of the machine hid the slight imperfections of the patterns. The measurements aren't as important as the accuracy of the holes drilled. You can make it any size with only limits being size you want your end product. And it can be used to enlarge or reduce pattern by locating router at different points.

[@AndyTorrealba]

Greeting from Venezuela! Very Good! Do You would can remake it like a pantograph in 3D articulated of 360° in 1, 2 or 3 arcs/circles type CNC?

[@dibyjunior6720]

Good night, the cat is the production manager ???

[@toddharshbarger8616]

Are going to add a Z axis too, like MW’s 3D version?

[@evren.builds]

Love your work! Do textures work out on the pantograph?

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thanks man. Sure you can attach any tool to this thing.

[@alexrodriquez6451]

I'm going to make something like this for my powerplasma cutter!

[@mihumus]

Great work and nicely done!

[@silvionamorato5151]

very good your project , I wonder if you would give me this project with the measures to be able to make for myself here in Brazil . Regards, Silvio

[@VdtWorkout]

nstalling your products is too perfect, You are very skillful, Congratulations on showing me good videos

[@sultankhan-oh4st]

nice idea The secret to getting the proper scale is one side of the rectangle is 1/2 the length of the other side?.i try many time but scale not same pleas help me gide cercal and router cercal not same

[@JPurontong]

Manual CNC without the g-code, very nice, well done. The templates are limited by your imagination. I guess you could use this vertically for mortises and tenons, right? I was looking for a Pantorouter and they cost around $2000 but this design is I think affordable for a hobbyist like me. Thanks for the video.

[@ImprovisedSurvival]

Liked and Subscribed. Thanks from Chicago. Mathias is also one of my favorites.

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Another cool machine sir! As for WD40, we still have it in California haha. Because of the insane laws on chemicals though, a lot of companies have to either a)change their formulas or b)put special warnings on their packages. My guess is that the can you had just wasn't labeled properly for California. Sucks sometimes - especially with finishes and solvents. The California versions of paints and finishes can sometimes suck quite a bit compared to the normal product.

[@AbsorberofLight]

Too much government I guess.

[@rockyjjones8989]

What is the length of your pattern piece? What is the diameter of the holes are in the pattern piece?

[@jesscast5122]

your comment for WD-40 not for sale in Calif. The issue is the PROPELLANT not the WD-40 (EPA issues) I guess they use Nitrogen here. or some other inert gas

If I understand correctly the proportion of both axes must be the same

[@frankschafer1505]

what you guys do over there? priceless!

[@mazatrolmultiplex1113]

Very good project

[@pepineric]

now buddy, it's time for you to build a real CNC machine, i did that and i'm proud of it. thumbs up for your efforts :-)

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thanks:) I have a whole series on how I built my CNC.

[@alialdabeialtaaei5243]

Notice that there is an error in the size of the reproduction that comes out smaller than the real one

[@euluizito45]

can pass the measures of the tubes (lengths) I will make this way here in brazil.only the 4 distances can already build .thank you.

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

So if I understand correctly and I think I do. The secret to getting the proper scale is one side of the rectangle is 1/2 the length of the other side?

[@AbsorberofLight]

Correct.

[@imperiooficial4868]

Hola, me podrías enviar las medidas de cada tubo estructural, así la puedo fabricar yo mismo. Esta excelente el diseño y se ve muy funcional. te felicito !!!! saludos desde Argentina.

[@asimbaki]

Great work and video. Thanks. Would teach my boy this.

[@jpscarias1]

hello, nice. do have any doc with drafts and measures?

[@nsjrmarcenariajunior8902]

Well done job! Do you have this project for sale?

[@AbsorberofLight]

For the right price I do ;)

[@hardcase1659]

Have you tried milling aluminum with it?

[@diogoduarte4032]

i would like to make one for myself , do you have some plans ?

[@AbsorberofLight]

Detailed video coming soon.

[@joselolopez3635]

Excelente!!voy a ver si me sale hacer uno!gracias por el aporte👍👍👍

[@crescencioortiz5447]

you can make one how much it would cost up to atlanta georgia

[@Roberto59478]

Un trabajo excelente y sin vueltas !!

[@JamiestimpsonOrg]

Good to hang out with you tonight my Friend !!! We wish you the very best!

[@Gopinath-eq8yy]

Is there any reason to use 26000rpm router for trimming or can we use lesser rpm router

[@AbsorberofLight]

nope. Use what you have.

[@cali4484]

5:14 what are you guys do over there ... use olive oil :)))))))))))))))

[@JohnClutch1]

"What do you guys use? Olive oil?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@paulkavanagh3124]

great job. inspired me to make one in wood. thanks from britain.

[@metalurgicayamoblamientosparra]

Please the size, for the construction, thanks

[@rynor7132]

i spit out my coffee at 5:16, WD40, "Not for sale in California! what do you guys do over there? Use olive oil? hahahahahah

hello, greetings from Chile, a question, how big is the base template, I want me one of these, thanks Francisco

[@AbsorberofLight]

Hello, the template is 16 inches but you can make it bigger or smaller.

[@davidraul2481]

is equal manufacture with arm right?

[@crs2515]

Olá ,muito bom o vídeo tem como passar as medidas pra construir uma Maq dessa, obrigado

[@leksey7870]

Well thought out!

[@anthonymarande8361]

tHANK YOU ! I learned so much in so short 0f time !! Peace

[@AbsorberofLight]

you're welcome Anthony!

[@simonebergadano5228]

I will build one just like your, thank you so much!!

[@armajet1]

Have you any plans for the pantograph

[@AbsorberofLight]

Detailed video coming soon.

[@Altcapball]

is there such thing as a CNC pantograph?

[@Elitiest_Hitman]

That would not make much sense. A cnc router would be simpler and do everything a pantograph could do.

[@Gopinath-eq8yy]

Bro can you send me measurements for this set up and what is the size of that hollow rectangular bar, I am doing this as my mini project in my college ,pls send me the details

[@israelamadorruiz1681]

I liked the intro song, someone knows the name?

[@jaimemercado8425]

Cual router usaste . Gracias

[@juanfranciscorojas5199]

And the distance of the perforations?

[@sethfoulk6990]

I am gonna build that!

Tienes planos y medidas paso a paso para armarlo ??

[@euluizito45]

you have available measures of this pantografh? You could pass for me? thanks for this video.

[@AbsorberofLight]

I will make a detailed video soon.

[@valdirturquettes8715]

I like your job Is very nice job

[@andrehenriquefernandes9564]

ótima idéia desse cara

[@35matinee]

Why does everyone do a reduction in scale? I want to enlarge, so metal construction would allow the router to hang out on the long arm. Great example.

[@superrodder2002]

any screwups while cutting get exaggerated when it's scaled up but are reduced when scaled down. if you freehand a shape,any wiggly moves will be really wiggly moves when scaled up. that's why pantographs usually are set up to scale down

[@falcon1539]

Quiero las medidas de los caños , las plantillas , hermoso trabajo !!!

If you make the pivot in the middle of the Pantograph you should get a 1:1
