Popular Post curlyoak Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Biden chipped in 1400 an I payed the rest for a Pantorouter. I got the one that will press my shirts. Seriously they have a deal of $1995 for everything. All accessories. And freight. It is promoted as limited time. $150 savings. I had to stipulate that I want the shipment delayed until arriving April 10. I have a hand surgery for a locking thumb on March 31. If the box shows up early I may not behave and hurt my hand. Joe has an invitation to use the tool anytime. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly suggest getting an auxiliary switch like this. It makes it much more convenient. https://www.rockler.com/safety-power-tool-switch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 That's awesome I'm jealous. Joe never sent me any money for a tool so i can't join ya. I've eyed the panto router for a long time. Storage is the main hurdle holding me back at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather not qualify for that reason and buy the tool anyway. Look around your shop and see if there is a tool you do not use anymore. Sell it and add a PantoRouter. Otherwise you will need to add a wing to your shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however thank you becuase this is exactly what we need folks to do with it rather then sock it away...I can't believe I just typed that out loud but it is true non the less Ultimately its a great tool that I think you will really enjoy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jussi Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Shows how much of a green koolaid drinker I am that I kept on wondering what the festool of1400 has to do with the pantorouter. Lol. congrats on the purchase. I’m looking forward to the review 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mick S Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 We're pushing to get a couple of PantoRouters for the school. When we were working on the student desk project I took mine up to use for doing the chairs. It was pretty much unanimous that we need to ditch the hybrid Davis & Wells / Robland slot mortisers and replace them with P'Routers. That said, last week we replaced the clunky cam clamp table on one with a MatchFit clamp system. It made a huge difference in their usability, so we'll probably hang on to them for at least another year after replacing the table on the other two. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coop Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Just received word that Brother Joe made a direct deposit into our account as well. I retired just in time. Unfortunately, ours will go to new shoes, Big Chief tablets and #2 pencils for the grandkids! And a box of good cigars for yours truly! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chet Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Our first one check went back to the economy via our kitchen renovation. This time Joe bought me a new garage door and opener for the shop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
