Hmmm, a "poor man's" CNC? I see a Christmas wish list already starting :)

Very cool indeed, but I bet expensive.

Hand held cnc training wheels for the router. Coolest thing I've seen lately. I hope the BS is next! That I could use.

Wow... all the electronics and expense of a CNC.... but you still have to drive it manually....

If you have to climb cut and the grain "sucks you in" ... is it going to be able to correct enough, quickly enough to save you from wrecking the part?

I won' be scrapping my home brew CNC plans any time soon.... Hit play and walk away!

A laboratory curiosity with a 1000 page manual.

And the Ruby goes to...

That said, interesting concept. I'm sure there are many uses for the basic technology, just not scroll sawing.

"Please move router to highlighted route.." - Bet it comes with a Garmin GPS voice LOL.

Kind of a dumbed-down version of MIT's FreeD handheld CNC from last year.
