I just might. I can see where this would come in really handy. I do have three CNC tables, and two of them have routers mounted, but for hand routing without the jittery unsteadiness of your average AMATEUR woodworker :crying: I think this might be just great!
I am not sure how the tape dots would work if you were carving a name into a pine board, for instance. Do you set up a table with the dot pattern, place the board on top, and then carve the script into the wood?
Imagine wanting to inlay a compass rose into a hardwood floor in your entry way. You DON'T want to mess up the floor wood, so you'd only get one chance at it. This might be the solution!
This technology is finding its way into our daily lives. If you have a high end digital camera, it may have image stabilization. The 4K cameras hanging from the gimbles of RC quad-copters (I hate the word "drone") use this technology.
I'd like to play with it for 20 minutes before I part with $2,000.00 though. Maybe I'll see one at the next trade show.
Good points Joe , and as you mention , wouldn't it be nice if it was actually at a trade show so a guy could actually try it first .
I'd like to try it first myself before forking over the dough . I'm hoping this isn't a fad , and it's here for the long haul . With the way technology is evolving , I can only see it getting better and cheaper
Imagine a hand circular saw that would be CNC driven, so when you draw a straight line on a sheet of plywood, you GET a straight cut. No metal guides, no clamps, no 1x4 clamped down at the fence distance ... Just start the saw, and get a straight cut line. I'd pay for THAT!
