Clamp and repeat the procedure. Cuts the burr should be even smaller than the exact ratio of the reduction you plan to make. If you use a flame-shaped or ta- pered cutting tool, then you'll need a tapered stylus point to match (Fig. Insert the stylus in the pantograph and set to a depth that will allow the arms to be.

I have wanted to build this project for some time now. I guess my wife got tired of hearing me talk about it, because she offered to purchase the plans for me. Then after getting the plans, I realized that it was designed to be used with a palm router, which I didn’t have. I was determined to build it though and had plans on using a full size router.

Looking back, that may have been a dangerous decision. One of my sons though, heard me talking about it, and before I could get started on the build, he bought me a Ridgid palm router. This is a Matthias Wandel design. This is not the first thing I have ever built of his design. He has some amazing designs. They are always well thought out and presented well.

If you order a plan for one of his many designs, you get written instructions, plenty of photos, a sketchup drawing of it all, and always enough information that anyone with even limited wood working knowledge could follow the build if they have the patience to do so. The only complaint I have ever had with Mr.

Wandel’s plans is that they’re all in metric. That isn’t his fault. Where he lives, that’s the measuring system they use.

The more I build of his projects though, I am getting more used to using metric. Wandel’s website can be seen.

You can read more about his pantograph design and purchase the plans. While you’re on his site though, be sure to check out all that he offers. Even if you’re not interested in a pantograph, he has a lot of other machines you can buy plans for that are well thought out and usually superior to factory made tools. Now on to the one I built.

Wait, I built two of them. I will explain that. To start with I built the pantograph according to Mr. Wandel’s plans. The only change I made you can see in this photo.

According to the plans, the router is held in this carrier with some wood that is supposed to be screwed down. I wanted the ability to easily remove the router to use elswhere, either on other tools I may build for it or attached to it’s base that came with it. It really isn’t no big change at all. I just replaced two screws with two bolts and knobs.

If you build this design, Mr. Wandel’s plans were built around a Bosch Colt palm router. If you use any other type of router, as I did, all you have to do is keep the same center point for the router, which is clearly laid out in the 1:1 drawings that come with the plans, and resize this part to fit the router you are using. I was sure that, being what looks like a complicated piece of machinery, that this would be a long build that would take a week or two. I was so wrong. This is one of the simplest designs in the world. After you get the part built that holds your router, the rest of it can be done in no time with basic shop tools.
