Evening All,
Have you guys seen this? A handheld CNC router currently in pre-production in the USA. It looks like one hell of a piece of kit.

I can think of plenty of occasions this would have come in useful when proto-typing over the last 6 months. I do wonder how accurate it is, although its probably more than enough for most woodworkers. I was chatting with a CNC guy thats done some batch work for me and he reckons its abit gimmicky. I understand his point especially when compared to his 3 industrial CNC machines.
In all honesty though it looks like it could be very useful. Question is would you have it in your shop? I noticed Festool and Rockler have partnered up to help develop it.
