Fine woodworking had an email about a hand held cnc router.
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.
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.
Yep, which is why I think using laser mouse tracking might be a better alternative. The tape eliminates using any wood, only taped wood.
Why would it be very expensive?
Just a hunch, if a domino is $800 what do you think this will be?
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.
Depends on whether it's being sold by Festool, DeWalt, or Drill Master.
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 someth> Fine woodworking had an email about a hand held cnc router.
