Re: Ten woodworking tools you have to see

David,
I had seen all the links you listed before. The unique feature of the Panto Router is the pantograph which scales in X and Y. Yes, it is a horizontal router like MultiRouter. It must be a horizontal router, which eliminates the awful length limit like Leigh FMT has, I believe Leigh FMT will be discontinued eventually. It is stupid and dangerous to use Leight FMT on the ladder or second floor with a hole underneath.

I beg to differ. ? Mathias has been resourceful, but he is hardly the inventor of this contraption. ? The guy knocked off the MultiRouter about 8 years ago, first in wood, then it evolved to the current version.? Lots of people have knocked off the MultiRouter, many well before Mathias was even conceived:
?
From 2012: ??
Jason,
PantoRouter is not really a copy of MultiRouter.? Panto Router was invented by Matthias Wandel,?.
It can do straight up slot mortising, just need a slot template. I think it can do anything Multirotor can do. What your MultiRouter cannot do?

As a long time Multirouter user, I agree with David that it looks a little cheap on the build quality. Again, the t slot table is great. I'm intrigued by the motion, like they've replaced the X and Y handles with one. I get how it works for template following, but what about straight up slot mortising? Can it do anything my Multirouters cannot? Jason Holtz
