Game Changing Tool

[tncatadjuster]

Could not find it posted. This changes everything.

I know it is expensive, but not if you use it. I can make me money on many levels with this tool.
I will have one soon.

Heh. I posted this a few days ago: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=337497

But I agree, it could be a game changer if they deliver what they say they will.

That's pretty cheap by CNC router standards. It's not an exact comparison, because the Origin can't do variable-z work. But it more than makes up for it in having an essentially infinite xy envelope, while not actually taking up any significant amount of space when not in use.

I have bought tools that paid for themselves in short order. This I suspect would fall into that category. You can not have my plasma cutter, or my Kitt shear/nibbler. I hope to say that about this router.

I thought about preordering one, even as far as bringing it up to the wife, then I thought about it some more, I have had bad experiences with new products before and decided to wait until they have all the bugs worked out.

Also the fact that I would be giving them $1500 now and not getting the product until September 2017.

That was the second view of it for me and explained a lot.

I first saw it here, and trust this guy on quality of experience.

Great channel by the way.

I ended up ordering one after seeing it at an event in September and spending time with their team. I do furniture and projects around the house and the capabilities really blew me away versus the size.

If you want to take the plunge, you can save $100 by following this link - https://preorder.shapertools.com/ref/CV03NEKFB

Full disclosure - I save $100 and you save $100 if you use the link.

There are over 40 videos on the product and projects on their youtube channel if you are interested - https://www.youtube.com/shapertools

Nothing goofy about it.
You are missing the point of it's compact size and portability.
