You sure this isn't Rob Lee putting his annual April Fools Day gizmo out a
bit early?

If you took that pesky guard off the chain saw you'd really have something
there!

Great concept, but looks flimsy. Like that long stick controlling the
router...looks too 'iffy' for me.
I'd have to see one 'live' for further opinions.
Multi purpose workbenches can be done successfully, as Festool has
conclusively proven. In fact, if I were to start up from scratch, I'd
have nothing BUT Festool tables and tools.

They've got Festool's price beat, too. They're SS-esque!

$3,543-$4,260, -not- including delivery. Ouch!

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have the experience of the other tools for
you to really appreciate the value of the Festool system. For
many/most of us, buying Festool is an "arrived at" decision, not a "go
to first" decision.

Geez, people are coming up with dangerous new contraptions faster than
we can pass regulations to protect people from them. This unfettered
innovation must stop!
