Have you ever thought about putting the pantorouter's template follower on an x/y axis, and the plunge on a z axis, similar to a 3d printer? Then you could load elaborate joints on a computer and have the machine cut it for you without needing templates.

With a perpendicular gantry like a CNC machine, wouldn't it be difficult to cut the ends of long boards?

Glad to hear you have a lathe project coming, your segmented turning video was top notch
