Another great video, Marius. I wish more KZfaqrs took the care you take with what they publish - you're spoiling us with this production quality.

The plastic (red) templates are tapered. You can tweak the size by moving the bearing in and out.

Thank you for your initial impression video! We are the distributor for North and South America for the PantoRouter and have a slightly different configuration for our packages. We no longer ship the acrylic template holder and the older style red plastic templates with our PantoRouters and therefore no longer the 21mm guide bearing. All of our new templates work with the 22mm, 15mm, 10mm, tapered 10mm and 6mm bearings provided in our packages. Our router mounts here have a slot for the router pins to slip through, and those sent for the AEG routers will have the same slot very soon. We supply router mounts for the Porter Cable 890 series routers, but they're not available in 220V so the AEG mounts are required outside the US, Canada and Mexico. By the way, the same AEG routers are sold in North America at Home Depot under the Ridgid brand but only in 110V. If we can assist or answer any questions for anyone in North or South America, please visit our website at www.hybridpantorouter.com or send us an email info@hybridpantorouter.com. We also have a KZfaq channel with numerous guidance videos and we're adding more every month. Thanks again, and Happy PantoRouting! Mac

Just love the fact that you know you're gonna use it and therefore you make immediately your accessories and gizmos. I just think watching clever dudes sort things out is a great use of my KZfaq time. Really pleased you got a "no strings attached " gift. Great video, as always, Marius. Thanks.

I like many others found your channel after being a patron of Mathias for a very long time but would like to say that after seeing your videos have still not gone back to his videos, you create awesome videos, thanks for keeping me interested in woodworking videos Marius

Marius, best pantorouter demo i've seen yet! Also, your mods to the sliding frames and outfitting most all sizes in advance just to be prepared for possibilities is brilliantly! Thanks for doing the video.

you have an amazing mind to problem solve and come up with the solutions that you do. I think my favorite part of your videos is watching you come up with something unique that is often times better than the manufactures. I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next ones.

Sounds like Kuldeep is very confident about his product, and he knew you'd be all over it as soon as you got it. ;-)

Matthias Wandel did a great job in designing the original. You were given a $2,000 machine...what a great gift!

I like the idea of the follower set. I think that the manufacturer should offer something like that as a kit. I would also think that making templates with a steeper taper would be helpful. Really nice work Marius!

Marius nice video, they picked well in choosing you to demonstrate the Pantorouter. Very nice machine Matthias came up with. Look forward to many projects that will be made.

I look forward to seeing what projects you do with the pantorouter.

Other woodworkers have got this Christmas some black and yellow tools from Santa. It looks like You have been even better child this Year, because You have got super-duper pantorouter :)

Ich mag die bloopers. Sie zeigen manchmal wie viel Aufwand man in ein Video stecken kann.

$1800+ US. Router package with enough accessories to get started. If I was doing much of this kind of joinery (especially for profit) it looks like a very handy tool.

Congratulations Marius! Friend You joined the band of an innovative and endless practical machine that I have come across and pride to own a pair. I say every penny is worth for its performance that you'll never regret. Happy innovating I will be waiting for your future videos as now you cannot resist. All the best.

Appreciate your honest words in the beginning! Pretty rare unfortunately. Thanks for that

The templates have a taper on them so you can fine tune the size of the cut by moving the follower in or out.

We have exactly that router kit, but Ridgid branded for the North American market. It's awesome, the motor is whisper-quiet, which is unique in my experience.

Why does everyone hate on manuals? I love manuals. I learn a lot of cool things from them and some really important things too.

Very cool that you have your own pantorouter! Can't wait for you to explore it's capabilities. Looking forward to it!

Probably already been said but you can adjust the size of the tenon by moving the bearing forward on the template. That's why they are tapered. Nice video!

Smart move on Kuldeep's part. You will take the pantorouter to the next generation and I mean that in two ways.

Very entertaining Marius, and adds to my understanding of how it works. I've seen quite a few videos of the original wooden version, and the prototype aluminium one, but never really understood the sizing system of the followers.

I must admit this pantorouter is a very nice bit of kit l have been watching your latest videos and how you doing anything in your small workshop well sir l take my hat off to you nice videos

I saw that Steve Ramsay uses a teleprompter... Pls, Marius, dont even consider buying that thing because your "Outtakes" are great. :D It gives your videos a unique thing! :D

1:49 "aha :D a manual!" Ones like this are ones of the reasons why I keep watching his videos lol

"What a coincidence?" *Tries to hide a huge smile*

Love your style of videos, hope you keep making them based on that alone - plus the projects are always cool too!

I mean I guess a lot of viewers find you through Matthias Wandel or know his channel as well, but maybe not all, so it would have been nice to mention him as the inventor of the pantorouter.... but a nice video as allways, nice butterfly mortisentenon

I do like the butterfly join!

Lucky man. Hard work pays off. I'm happy for you. Also, this was my favorite outtake! Thanks for sharing friend.

hey I feel like this router is the same as the ridgid. I have one of those and we'll since the plunge base will probably start to get hard to use, a must fix you need for the router is to replace the bearing. the reason it gets too hot or fairly warm is friction. I replaced the bearing with a high speed and problem solved. hopefully gets you places.

Another great video and product demonstration. I will have to put this one on my list! Thanks for the video

Nice fit, not too tight, not too loose, it is just right

Very nice, I'm looking forward for your futur penta projects!

Hi Marius. With the heat problem, why dont you perferate the rim of the dust collector to allow the router to get more air? Great video. I have to get one. Thanks

A non review that turned out to be a most excellent "non"review Marius. A good job done well : ) You do know that your viewers won't mind if the video's are not absolutely perfect, don't you. By the way, your English is fantastic !

Your work and videos are Inspiring and thank you for the inspiration, good luck .

Excellent purchase! Congratulations!

Pop. Very good.

The end of the follower should be straight. The template is tapered so you can adjust the thickness of mortises and tenons by following slightly further in or out.

Geat video! I do love me some out takes!

Neat tool. NOt sure if I would have a use for one with the projects I do, but, thanks for sharing this device!

Hi mate. That is a very nice chrissy "present". I think you have earned it. You have a good style of presentation and are clear on what you want to achieve. Well done. You are doing better than a lot of established English channels. Ie. no waffling on. I think that it's time to bother Papa for some more space and get a little tool room lathe. You would do well on it, I'm sure. You most likely won't need a big machine, although the bigger the better, just one that serves your needs. You just have a look at what your countryman Stefan Gotteswinter (youtube) is able to do on his modest machines. Well done mate.

how you learn English so well? You actually explain yourself pretty well. I'm from Argentina (You know, The Pope and Lionel Messi are from here) and with my poor English I'm enable to fully understand you. so you may be proud of yourself xD

one point about the dust collector shield over the router motor vents, you need to cut out holes because the router has to breath if it can't your going to shorten the berings life by overheating as well as the windings on the motor . you can not block off air flow, it would be like driving a car without coolant in it. its going to overheat and seize up. on the motor the windings will swell up and or the insulation will burn off causing a short. the motor has to breath. do what you can to fix it so it can get fresh air.

@11:12.... second try. :-) I've been meaning to build one of these for two years now.

Pentarouter is a very nice tool!

Thanks Marius

Hammer Gerät, einfach nur geil

Is the bit not heating up because the router is heating up as you have blocked the air vents with the dust shroud? It looks like the dust shroud covers the vents completely which can't be good for the router... Could you not out a couple of holes on the backside of the dust shroud to allow the dust collector to suck some cooling air through the router?

Keep an eye on the router too, you know what carpenters say about AEG: A-uspacken_E-inschalten_G-arantiefall ;-) (Unpacking- Switch on- Warranty case) Of course it has some nice features- no offense.

Wow really nice they sponsored you! Great video!

that is Matthias Wandel design. nice!

If your tenon fits too snug, the adhesive will keep the pieces from fully seating unless you cut a relief grove in the tenon. My sloppy fitting mortise and tendons never fail, thanks to modern adhesives!

thank you for responding

Marius. I think you missed the point of the slope on the templates. They are sloped so you can finely adjust the size of the tenon by moving the follower in and out. (I know it's sloped from injection moulding draft angle also)

Cool tool

Thanks! I enjoyed that.

I love your videos! I wonder how many hours of raw footage you make to make a final 15 minute video like this one?

you are as good as Matthias Wandel...:D Joking, You are very professional

Are the holes in the front of the router for airflow? Maybe the motor runs too hot now because the dust shroud blocks the airflow and the heat of the overheating motor then transfers to the router bit.

That is the same router as the ridgid. They must make it for a few different brands.

i love your shop it looks great nice video..

I call it sponsored if you get something for 1k+ and have a use it condition. It's a great tool for if you have to produce a couple of same parts but it should never cost that much. I rather support M Wandel by buying the Plans even if you can build it without.

For your stops, you might want to make a hind get type stop that swings out of the way to access the next stop. Nice review though as always.

You are too polite, sometimes a man should yell like there's no tomorrow XD

Is perhaps the router is heating up as the dust collector is blocking the bottom venting, or am I not seeing an air-path out the bottom?

Great vedio. Enjoyed all so far, keep up the good work.

That router looks identical to the Ridgid that they sell in the US. I think they beefed up the collet nut because they would tend to break. I broke the nut on mine and it was tough getting a replacement. Home Depot customer service isn't great.

Is the front vent for the router blocked by the dust collector?

Time for Marius to expand.Buy a metal lathe.. :)

Good video.

4:07 That voice-crack though XD

absolutely love it... but it is expensive!!! if you weren't given one to "not review" would you still fork out the money for one, or are the $$ better spent on other tools?

Great video as always! Thank you! :)

Seems like a lot of work when a simple dowel will work just as well.

Très belle vidéo

What was the cnc spinal motor thing doing on the table in the corner of the video

It looks like the dust extractor attachment is obstructing the air intakes that cool the motor of the router? If this is causing the motor to overheat, that heat could be travelling down the shaft and heating up the cutter?

Great video!

is the blue light part of the router your using?

Good vid. enjoyable and informative. thks

keep it up buddy i like your video love from canada

In the US, for most purposes, 12mm is half an inch.

I see this is video is kinda old but just in case you still check for responses, I'm wondering if you still like having the followers beveled? I just built a pantarouter and I think you were on to something really useful. It's odd so many posters seem to be constrained by the idea of only beveling the templates, as if it's somehow improper to be creative. It certainly seems easier to bevel a set of followers instead of beveling every shop made template.

just bought one but I love the light on your router. tell me about the router you used!

Personally, rather than pulling the pin out of the router, I would have just filed a 'V' at the break in the pantarouter. This way the designed of the pantarouter can update his design to be more adaptable for all users. You gave the designer great ideas for improvement with the stops for example... why not add this one as well.

Hallo Marius, schönes Video zum Pantorouter. Ab und zu ist er in deinen Videos zu sehen, aber mir ist aufgefallen dass Du Schlitz und Zapfen auch mit Tischkreissäge und Samurai Router Jig (z.B Tisch für CNC-Fräse) herstellst. Was hat das für einen Grund? Ich bin am überlegen den Pantorouter auch zu kaufen. Ist er deiner Meinung nach die 1250 Euro wert, oder behilft man sich lieber mit anderen Vorrichtungen? (Für z.B Fingerzinken finde ich die Arduinogesteuerte Vorrichtung von Cosmas Bauer ziemlich clever). Freundliche Grüße Matthias

Hallo Marius, Ich wünsche dir ein gutes Neues, du hast 3 Spiralnutfräser (Schaft 12) im Video, wo hast du die gekauft? Wie bist du mit der Oberfräse zufrieden? Grüße Franz

That's one nice router! Personally I am looking at a Makita trim router (700W). Will a trim router suffice for a light duty router table?

Nice present :)

Is the dust shoe inhibiting air flow into the router at all? Could that be part of the hot bit issue?

Would you recommend the panta router for repeatability. Meaning i make 100 mortises and then make 100 tenons. Then i can mix and match the pair.

You do realize that the slope on the template is so that you can adjust for fit by moving the follower in and out right?

You obviously know what you are doing, I would have had some apprehension about removing that little pin. Generally I don't think manufacturers install parts with no real purpose, but apparently it was just a guide pin. I was waiting for something to fly apart, or back out.

You could sell template kits besides fine furniture. Dennis fro Minnesota

I enjoy this. KBye.

Is AEG the German equivalent of ridged which is sold in the United States? That router looks similar to ones sold in Home Depot. Matthias wandel also did a review on the ridged router and found that is was a little bigger in diameter than other routers and that would explain the tight fit in the clamps of the pantorouter
