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..

[@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!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

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

[@AbsorberofLight]

Thank you Thomas.

[@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

[@ettiennekruger9181]

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

[@in3432]

Brilliant build and video.

[@rodrigofajardo6096]

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

[@dibyjunior6720]

great project, congratulations on the work ...

[@hondough]

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

[@AbsorberofLight]

you're welcome:)

[@Uniquettt]

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

[@matahari5465]

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

[@oldandfound1]

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

[@Daniel-dw8jc]

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

[@bockforzelorum01]

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

[@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.

[@robertorodriguez6516]

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

[@AbsorberofLight]

gracias

[@loliyadeeth1786]

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

[@doc1701]

Thanks for taking the time to upload this informative video.

[@VdtWorkout]

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

[@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.

[@mihumus]

Great work and nicely done!

[@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.

[@mazatrolmultiplex1113]

Very good project

[@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.

[@ImprovisedSurvival]

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

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

[@frankschafer1505]

what you guys do over there? priceless!

[@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.

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

[@frankberrios9064]

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

[@vicvar8991]

Very nice man

[@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!

[@خادمقمبر-ك1ض]

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

[@santiagojorgesilberman9001]

[@rockyjjones8989]

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

[@asimbaki]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@santiagojorgesilberman9001]

Gracias hermano , un gran trabajo , Felicitaciones desde Argentina

[@AbsorberofLight]

Muchas gracias!

[@toddharshbarger8616]

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

[@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

[@leksey7870]

Well thought out!

[@sethfoulk6990]

I am gonna build that!

[@JF_Projects]

Great build, what size are the square profiles ?

[@fedora296]

awesome video well thought

[@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

[@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.

[@Roberto59478]

Una pregunta: De que medida es el caño cuadrado? Muchas gracias A question: In what extent is the square pipe? Thank you very much

[@joselolopez3635]

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

[@dibyjunior6720]

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

[@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?

[@hannybassfabricacionydisen8366]

Gracias por compartir 👍 maximo respeto y mucha vibra positiva 😎

[@metalurgicayamoblamientosparra]

Please the size, for the construction, thanks

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

[@JamesDoylesGarage]

Brilliant !

[@alfeovaldez8066]

continue your good work man

[@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👍

[@valdirturquettes8715]

I like your job Is very nice job

[@alialdabeialtaaei5243]

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

[@crescencioortiz5447]

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

[@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.

[@RomanoRomaker]

Excellent guide , thx.

[@smo3241]

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

[@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
