Fine woodworking had an email about a hand held cnc router.

Pretty cool, too bad they didn't use mouse like laser pointing instead
of the newer bar coding. Maybe they did, but it didn't seem so.
Smart kids, gives you a chance to do accurate work, with a small setup.
But if it goes to production, it will be very expensive.
There are advantages. Now a hand cut Parade Float design can be cut by
hand. It would be nice to have a massive design but a small window that
you work on - it seems like it did it that way - maximizing the
resolution in an area.
Neat. I'd have plenty of projects for something like that.

Yep, which is why I think using laser mouse tracking might be a better
alternative. The tape eliminates using any wood, only taped wood.

At first I thought someone came up with something more ridiculous than
the laser for the drill press.
Then I saw the router moving around inside the base... Hummmmm
Looks like it could be quite accurate.
I do see that there are tape lines to tell the computer where the router
is at. I wonder how accurately those strips of tape have to be laid
out. That might be the down fall to accuracy.

Just a hunch, if a domino is $800 what do you think this will be?

Why would it be very expensive?

Depends on whether it's being sold by Festool, DeWalt, or Drill Master.

Would that be expensive as small CNCs go?
Hold on... let me go watch the video...
Ok. I guess that would be kind of expensive to produce.
I think I'll stick with my desktop gantry style CNC router.
