This is a great tool. We have multiple units and replace the electric router with pneumatic one. This machine is everything they say it is. We use the air clamp system and have made countless numbers of mortise and tenon joints for our chairs. simple, fast and accurate for angles on chair parts. once setup for production run you will be faster than cnc. you can put tenon on ends of board in a few seconds each. We will be ordering another unit soon.

What benefits do you gain from your conversion to a pneumatic router please. I’m considering a similar option, as I use a pneumatic setup on my CNC. The issues that I am having difficulty overcoming are, mounting the unit to the multi router, also controlling dust collection. The exhaust from pneumatic tools spreads the dust and chippings everywhere.

Many years ago, in the '80's, I was at a woodworking show and saw a man by the name of Strong who manufactured a machine similar to this. It was very crude compared to this, with the only moving part being the where the router is attached. One turn, controlled by sprocket and chain, equaled 1", and it was quite accurate. For the tenon you used a miter gauge, and for the mortise you plunged the material into the bit. Not really all that safe, but it worked. You always referenced off the bottom. For a 5/16" mortise I would roughly find the center of the stock and cut the mortise. Then make 5 revolutions down and cut the bottom of the tenon, and 10 revolutions up to cut the top of the tenon. Since you're always referencing off one face a slight variation in stock thickness didn't matter all that much since it would be on back side. The machine was built like a tank and lasted years with many mortise and tenon joints made.

Jeff…I look forward to future videos of capabilities. Good job on this one. The old Ben Covington videos didn’t discuss tips and tricks like this one. I used the spacer method you described for setting tenon centering. I actually used my old feeler gauge since I rarely mill stock to exact imperial dimensions. I’ve only bought one set of tenon templates so far…just dipping my toe in the water to see how well they work. It works very well. Thanks again.

After reviewing both this and the Pantorouter, both accomplish similar results but approach the machining in a somewhat different fashion. I guess you could compare their differences much like that of a sliding compound miter saw to that of a radial arm saw. After comparison though, it seems like the Pantorouter, for at least the instances where templates are used, allows tweaking of the fit because of the tapered patterns that are offered, which allows for a honed fit. I see where this would allow me to better determine how much glue would be left in the joint after assembly. And since I don't know how long templates will last after considerable use, I could only speculate the aluminum templates uswd by the Multi Router might last longer than the plastic ones. However, for those hobbiest woodworkers, the Multi Router is almost 50% more than the Pantorouter and the templates are quite a but more expensive too.

Great Jeff. I did not know Woodpeckers owns it now. Wow! With the genius's in Woodpeckers; I can already see a lot of great features; you have done with this machine. Awesome. Gotta question Jeff...For years I have tried to remember; what the opposite is of "Climb Cutting". Please, tell me what it is, kind Sir. Because I think I was taught that years ago. But maybe not at age 90 LOL. Thanks again.

I have to agree with other comments that this is a truly wonderful, beautifully designed and constructed machine. However, even at the sale price of $2799, when one adds the stand, and 7 different templates, shipping and tax, the total cost is about $3709. At least for me, there is no way in the world that I could justify spending nearly $4000 for a piece of equipment that does a job I can do now with my current equipment but not nearly as easily or as well. I guess if I had a production shop that used joinery every day it would be somewhat different. So, all I can really do is dream. I also note that Woodpeckers does not offer free shipping, even on a machine this expensive, which is really disturbing and unfortunate.

Is the process different, or is it a problem, if the stock is narrower than the router opening on the Z-axis plate?

@jefffarris3386 2 жыл бұрын

Nope. Move the vertical table up, reference your material, clamp down to the horizontal table, then move the vertical table into position.

Is that the Pantorouter?

@WoodpeckersLLC Жыл бұрын

While they both use a horizontal router, they're quite different approaches. The Multi-Router has three-axis linear control. The PantoRouter relies completely on its template system for control of "up-down" and "right-left". And, in case you were wondering, the Multi-Router pre-dates the PantoRouter by more than 20 years.

3-axis linear motion. Each direction of motion on the Multi-Router is always under control, template or no template. Check out the weight of each system, too.

This one came first, it’s made from castings. As Jeff mentioned you can lock out individual axis with this setup. With the MR the table moves in 2 axis, the router moves in one (vertical). With the PR the table is fixed the router moves you can only lock out axis with a template.

The MultiRouter is much older than the Panto Router. And they are completely different approaches to achieve similar results. Having owned and used an original JDS Multi-Router for nearly 30 years, I found the Multi Router is "built like a tank" yet offering near laser precision when paired with a digital readout.

@@marcelleblanc9505, just because you aren't familiar with something doesn't mean it isn't true. I first saw the tool on David Marks' TV show "Woodworks" in the early 2000s. Here is a video of Marks' shop in 2009 where he shows the Multi-Router starting at about 20:59. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ec5ohqmCr9m2Ynk.html. The intellectual property and corresponding tooling of various equipment is often sold between parties. This is what has happened in this case - Woodpeckers has bought assets related to the manufacture of this product and are now producing it instead of whoever was producing it before.
