Dec 17, 2014 . Drilling the holes in the mounting blocks for the pantograph. These need to be very square. To compensate for any non-square-ness that my drill press may have, I drill the hole about 5 mm in then rotate the block 180 degrees (around the axis of the drill bit) and drill another 5 mm, repeating until I'm all the way through.

The PantoRouter cuts a tenon by tracing around the shape of it with a router bit. Large router bits work best. To get a tenon shape that is rounded on each end, the router bit needs to trace a semicircle at each end. The path the router bit takes needs to be offset by half the router bit's diameter on all sides.

As you might have already guessed, a ‘PantoRouter’ is a cross between a pantograph and a router, and just in case you’re not sure what a pantograph is, it’s a mechanical linkage made up of parallelograms, which is used either to collect power for a train or tram from overhead cables – possibly not much call for that sort of device in woodwork; or to …

We’ll make the segments so we can get ¼” increments from 1” to 3” then we plan to make a bar with to either extend to any length or make any specific size needed.

The PantoRouter is a new, highly capable machine that performs like a souped-up slot mortiser. At its heart is a router mounted to an articulating arm that moves on the X, Y, and Z axes. This makes it great for joinery, whether it’s traditional or has a little more flair.
Kuldeep first experimented using steel, but later determined aluminum to be more advantageous. Through Kuldeep’s continued R&D and Matthias’ assistance, the new Hybrid PantoRouter is now a highly functional joinery jig.
The only Pantograph that comes mostly assembled right out of the box. This is a complete routing system; including 3 router bits, 3 stylus tips, 2 stencil fonts, and line drawings. All necessary hardware is included, all you need is your router and wood. Follow the design with your stylus and let the router do the work!
Of course, the PantoRouter is able to do many other things like dovetails and finger joints, but there are already many router-based dovetail jigs on the market, and a router table is pretty efficient at cutting finger joints, which leaves all those other projects that are only limited by your imagination.
