Multi slot mortising machine

[@cffellows]

Nice addition to your already impressive collection of projects in wood. This one and your wooden tank treads are my favorites.

[@matthiaswandel]

All of the sliding parts are metal on metal. Just that you can't see the horizontal sliders.

[@kerrykrishna]

Absolute genius level stuff here Matthias. I have now seen quite a few of your vids, and gotta say that you inspire so many of us. If only we had your brains, things would be so much easier! thanks for posting this...

[@Alexvreidy]

Your video quality, structure, and presentation has improved quite substantially since 2009

[@joelegrand4028]

Great job. Love that you stayed with mostly wood. I work with wood & metal, some stone,but I like to see people work with what they have. Use what you have & you will not need what you do not have. You are young, off to a good start, you will go far.

[@EyesOnMeStudios]

I love how something home made is sooooo incredibly accurate! Amazing

[@matthiaswandel]

How is this worse for the bearings than regular use of a router? All routing involves side-load on the bearings.

[@rexstallion]

I never grow tired of your projects...keep up the good work!

[@matthiaswandel]

Yes, slot mortisers unfortunately are not consume type equipment, so they are quite expensive. Hollow chisel mortisers are available for consumers, but even a professional hollow chisel mortiser isn't going to do very accurate work.

[@poojoojoo]

I really enjoy watching your complex wood machines go to work. Keep it up!

[@oasavi]

Primero que nada felicitarte y agradecerte por compartir tus proyectos, empece a trabajar este proyecto hace 15 dias y te pudeo decir que ya hice mi primera prueba, me faltan ajustar unos detalles pero todo muy bien. nuevamente muchas gracias. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México.

[@matthiaswandel]

My initial design used rods and bushings, but it was too bulky, so never built that version.

[@deezynar]

Five stars and a fave. You've created an exceptional machine. The only slight criticism is the operator has to use math to factor the bit diameter. Since they come in exact sizes it shouldn't be hard. Well done!

[@matthiaswandel]

Yes, you can make a small fortune selling them, if you are willing to spend a large fortune getting them manufactured.

[@ekim051084]

Another excellent, EXCELLENT video. I'm taken back how you can create all of these useful tools.

[@taybe1230]

i did the same but i used a big motor to avoid break time and noise for a large amount of wood. the difference is u have one lever that makes it easier.

[@baxturs]

that is the most amazing piece of machinery i have ever seen. Just a suggestion, maybe you should add a ruler to the depth stopper for multiple cuts and rivets.

[@mcverge]

truly legend ! im your avid fan, your methods rely helping me im from philippines and i admire your ideas to make works so easy and fast, hope you could build more.

[@matthiaswandel]

Its a router, the type that comes with interchangeable fixed and plunge bases.

[@espejocielotierra]

Excelente y creativo trabajo. Tenés mucho talento. Felicitaciones. Excellent and creative work. You have much talent. Congratulations.

[@matthiaswandel]

Sorry, URLs in comments alwaysget deleted so can't post the link. But follow the link in the description, and there will be a link to the plans on that page.

[@ciaranamhain]

Possibly because of the leverage afforded by the joystick Matthias, though as with all routing one must be mindful to use several small passes coupled with top quality cutters.

[@cmsmith1955]

You are so right. There would not be any difference in bearing load with the horizontal load application. But I would go with Stainless steel Rods and bushings over converted dwarer slides. They will take more abuse and last longer. I think the addisional cost would be worth it. Other that that this unit is a great design.

[@chromzepher]

its so acurate that it looks like it is being controled by a robotic mechanism great work i would pay hundreds for one

[@vioricachirea8749]

Am vizionat mai multe clipuri dar tu esti cel mai ingenios.

[@akatsuki6786]

no se como haces esos invento aunque mi cerebro ya se puso analizar todos tus maquinas, y ya que esto ha sido una inspiración para mi y ahora ya se que es lo que puedo hacer en mi taller, ya le agarre cariño a la carpinteria. jejeje. mi pregunta es ¿el reciduo de de la madera lo recicla? o ¿que hace con el? o ¿que se puede hacer para no tirarlo?

[@matthiaswandel]

I use all kinds of different bits.

[@matthiaswandel]

Flex has not been a problem at all. The forces aren't that great. The downside of shafts and bushings is that they take up much more room and don't slide as easily.

[@7pulford]

@Matthiaswandel I'm sorry, what did you say at the end? within a few... I'm guessing its a fraction of an inch, but we only use metric in the UK. Also, its a great machine, but do you ever use it, now that you have the pantorouter? or is it somewhat obsolete?

[@matthiaswandel]

Just read the accompanying webpage - URL is at the end of the video. I don't know how I could make that URL more obvious.

[@robert3302]

Even your tools are works of art.

[@matthiaswandel]

You can now buy plans for this machine. Just follow the link in the description.

[@pheenix42]

Good job on the counter wheel...it's a variation on the machinist's divider plate! *wish I could get a shop set up...*

[@grgabby]

Great designs! Question instead of counting the turns at the top why not just put a measuring tape to measure vertically that can tell you how high in inches that it goes up or down?

[@TheMockingbirddude]

Even though you adjusted the slides to reduce play, wouldn't they still flex enough to throw off the accuracy? What are the downsides of using a design like your tenon jig for this application? would the bushings bind when under pressure? I'd hate to build something like this only to have if flex and be a waste of time.

[@matthiaswandel]

I only sell the plans. Link in the description.

[@Dampfish]

I have absolutely no interest in woodworking whatsoever. But the stuff in your videos are so cool that I don't care :P Keep it up man!

[@luisrodriguezlynch4586]

Matthias eres un genio desde tus inicios, felicitaciones. Luis de Peru

[@CrtlAltDlt]

You have to be as good as leanardo da vinci to create such masterpieces of engineering

[@elmonotigre]

Arquimedes, centuries ago said: give me a lever and I can move the Globe. \Years ago I took a stand wich match with my Bosch router in a vertical position. then I took a cross-vise with a movable jaw (where I clamp the work) and 2 screws with handles, like the Hugh Lyman's version.It works, but you must work slow and you must use 2 hands. Your idea is simple but genial because you can work with one hand and quickly

[@elmonotigre]

! Wow! Congratulations. Dramatic invention or creation

[@1HotMaster1]

Для работы есть станки из стали а для домшних работ затраты времени и деталей имеют цену.

[@szikrit]

I like the artistic idea of this mashine! It works fine, but besides it it is something to enjoy during work! Great!!!!

[@agr99]

First, I would like to thank you by posting the videos. They are very useful and I have learned a lot with it. But I have some questions for you: are you using a HSS mill in the router? This kind of mill does not overheat on hard wood? I will try to use some ancient railway sleepers to make some furniture and they are in very hardwood, so that is why I am asking you about it. Thanks

[@neropatti1504]

I'm envious of your wooden machine! It's so perfect! But wont the parts wear out because they're made from wood? How often do you need to replace parts?

[@deesteelersfan]

Wow you always amaze me with the things you build

[@40jlfg]

fenomenal,esto es motivacional para los que nos guta la creatividad.felicidades por tu trabajo y la originalidad del mismo.

[@goddale2002]

Hey Matthias, I love both your slot mortiser and pantorouter. I'm interested in purchasing one of the plans and building one of them, but "REALISTICALLY" on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being beginner level, how difficult would it be to build one of these machines. I've seen many of the machines you've built, so please keep in mind that only a few folks have the skilset to duplicate some of the items you create. I have all of the equipment that would be needed and I do have what I would guess is just above average woodworking skills. With that said, what's my chances of completing one of these machines before getting frustrated and scrapping the build mid-way. PS For anyone else that has made one of these, please feel free to chime in as well. Thanks.

[@Suppamandan]

good work if this machine was on the market i would buy it

[@sugar1ss]

Dang, you're a freaking genius! I bet you can make some awesome furniture.

[@Blyatimir_Putin]

I want you to build my house. Seriously, you are a god amongst men.

[@LEXICOGRAFFER]

Is there a video showing the making of the mortiser you used when building your scaffolding?

[@cmsmith1955]

Why did you use drawer slides for your x and y axis. Why not use the same type of set up that you have on the z axis.

[@RDJim]

You are a wood God. Bravo sir.

[@missionron]

Dude, absolutly beautiful. You have some serious tallent. Id love to buy it off you :) somehow i doubt youd sell it :) I wonder....how long did it take you to make,and is it your own design? I love it.

[@rudineisilva2704]

adorei a ideia mas sou leigo no assunto gostaria de ver o passo a passo do projeto da maquina para tentar montar uma

[@dlapp14]

Ah the mastercraft maximum router. Just picked it up for 99 bucks on sale. 2HP, 1/4, 1/2 collets, 2 plunge bases, led worklight, variable speed, slow start.. Great for a pantorouter or mortising machine..

[@trancesensation23]

my jaw is still dropped even after watching the whole video.

[@Flyboy-ww7og]

Matthias, I like the versatility of the Multi-Slot Mortising Machine. I especially like the capability of the machine as a horizontal router machine. However, I was wondering, if in your design, a modification could be done to allow the table to tilt/angle along the fence line for mortising work? Thanks for your input. John

[@theliquidgroove]

wow! makes me want to give up woodworking, very well thought out & tight tolerances too.

[@dbsouza1]

It would be nice to see some more detailed plans or shop drawings if possible.

[@guerd87]

His website sells very detailed plans for this machine and many more

[@Merdam9]

This guy is PURE genius!

[@andacagap]

sos un genio muy creativo ,beutifuuuuul where can fine how do it ? tx

[@juinter1]

Matthias eres fantastico, gracias por todos estos bueno videos que ayudan en gran manera

[@douro20]

The Mastercraft 2-1/4 hp router used to make this is a very nice unit, and it's not too expensive either.

[@savingface78]

This is outstanding! Thanks for sharing your creativity

[@rahamtullahmansuri7665]

You don't have any plans for this mortise machine?

[@matthiaswandel]

Click the link in the description.

[@funkophone]

That's extremely cool, man.

[@Muzikji]

Crazy machine!!, I give it 12 out of 10! and you Man! you are Genius!!

[@Treeofdeath555]

Sir wood you post the plans? this is awesome

[@74KU]

Considered adapting this to make a thickneser?

[@albertodanielobeaga1695]

Sr. Mathias Wandel: Los videos son todos muy buenos, Desearía si ellos podrían ser traducidos al CASTELLANO, porque en el idioma que se encuentran se pierden muchos detalles importantisimos y de mucha utilidad.- Los videos son maravillosos y digno de un poder de infinita UTILIDAD.- MUCHOS SALUDOS

[@machinemachine70]

that's awesome, you're a great engineer

[@James_Norris]

wow, that is really great!!! and for not alot more work, you could convert it to a CNC version :) very well planned and designed

[@islamn799]

Thank you brother your made jig same thought with me but I thought my router machine will be fix with a hanging table upper side which one can run left and right side and under this table will put other one table where I will put my wood and this table can run my in front and back space and upper table must can up down system.both table will can lock any where.as like CNC noobs but CNC table can't run only.ever I not start wood working.starting time must could anything.thank you very much.

[@JohnnyNCindy]

Thats absolutely fantastic! Great stuff.

[@grannysvids]

this machine is just amazing, you realy are a legend!

[@Gamingoodz]

wow thats some great work there Grats on making it and making it so perfect

[@stargazer1682]

I would like to know how to build this as well.

[@slayeristhebest94]

that is fucking great that is great craftsmanship i wish i was as good with my hands you have some real talent

[@Timisso1337]

wow, another impressive invention!

[@unonguyen8821]

Anh matthias. Em rất ngưỡng mộ anh. Giá như anh ở Việt Nam để được gặp anh trò chuyện nhỉ. Em rất yêu nghê mộc. thấy anh cái gì cũng giỏi. muốn được anh truyền dạy chỉ bảo. Nhưng rất tiếc anh ở quá xa. chúc anh và gia đình luôn mạnh khõe và gặp nhiều thành công trong cuộc sống

[@ratholin]

Damn I love watching the things you make.

[@juinter1]

Una pregunta, cuales son las caracteristicas del router del video ...gracias.

[@dsanusi7194]

Do you accept purchase orders for your products? I am interested to buy your products 'Multi slot mortising machine', how much the price for the machine. How to buy. I was in Indonesia.

[@mrbluenun]

Nice stuff, and a great machine build! Very good design and ease of use, congrats! mrbluenun

[@manyp51]

very good invention, the plans plese....

[@rohenwi]

Excelente, te felicito buena herramienta, Henry de Venezuela

[@marcoantoniovetrano4608]

Excelentes trabajos, me podrías mandar las medidas de esta mesa. Ciudad de México

[@buggsbunny8262]

How do you get plans to all of this stuff Thanks let me know. Reggie

[@matthiaswandel]

+buggs bunny woodgears.ca/plans

[@horchhoun2574]

.y,

[@buggsbunny8262]

So R u using a mortis bit or just a regular router bit for all of the mortises that u are doing on there or what are you using for it

[@luizgueirosbezerra]

Wonderful work.

[@daw162]

It's well executed, but the basic concept is a copy of commercially available tools (albeit very expensive ones).

[@leandroalvesdacosta7454]

Hi. Do you have a Project of " How make this machine" for sell ?

[@douro20]

What kind of motor is it?

[@carpenterwsk9783]

let me know why you don't directly buy machine mortize

[@battleminion]

Awsome proyect,hope i see this video before i build the japanise style door that i build

[@giangalila7682]

what kind of electric motor did you use?

[@matthiaswandel]

+Gian Galila I used a router

[@artea2fusion]

muito bacana curiosa a mecanica ...parabens

[@sylvestersoh]

its more steady and it helps with measuring i guess...
