Ever wonder if a CNC router is right for you? Why not learn about CNCs through a project? Using a CNC, students will make parts for a DIY Pantorouter. A Pantorouter is a type of mortising machine designed specifically for creating mortis and tenon joints. Many styles of mortise and tenon joints are possible with this machine. Proper templates are all it takes. With the Pantorouter project, students will learn some of the advantages of using a CNC by making many of the required parts on a CNC. John will also demonstrate and explain CAD versus CAM, establishing workpiece coordinates on the machine, multiple workpiece coordinates and set ups, different styles of part clamping/work holding, fixturing, and more. There will also be demonstrations on at least four different CAD/CAM systems to help students in decide what type of CAD/CAM system is right for them.
