This thing is pretty cool. It seems to work a lot better than I ever would have thought it would. It's so gadgety but for small parts maybe it would make sense. I know I wouldn't turn down a demo unit! It'll probably end up costing like a billion dollars where it won't make sense but I enjoyed watching it work still.

That is awesome! If they can keep the price under $1k, I think it will be a great tool.

I love it! It is a really cool idea, and this is from a guy that used full CNC production Mills.

oh man! I'm getting one at that price point. Hope they can make that happen.

Every Christmas gift just got 100x easier and 100x cooler.

The handheld CNC router woukd be a really useful tool when making solidbody guitars from scratch.

Very interested , thanks for the post!!

I wish the pricing details were out already so I know if I will ever own one. Nearly everything it does you can do with a set of template collars but it's just so cool. It's like an electronic template router system really. Also if automatically pulls up the bit if you get too close to out of bounds. I watched some more videos on it this morning.

Very cool. Highly recommend watching all of bens videos. Extremely interesting and informational. AppliedScience is the channel.

That's very cool. It reminds me of one of the devices I've seen in my work life:

The above system has a stabilizer that removes hand tremors when doing surgery on the eye.

Very nice.
I'll guarantee that an overseas manufacturer has already reverse engineered this for ebay sales.

I highly doubt this, considering that they aren't for sale yet.

WANT! I especially like the small form factor. Instead of taking up a bunch of my limited shop space, it can easily me stored when not in use.

Now to see how much out of my price range it is!

That's very cool but I have a hard time seeing the price point being reasonable. Guess we'll see.

If it works as well as it does in the video's (I watched several) I can see it being a good seller (Me included) under $1000.

I have thought about a CNC router table for years but never willing to give up the floor space, this takes no floor space and for simple objects you don't even need a PC which would make it even more useful in the shop.

For years I have dreaded setting up to cut circles, have to attach the base to the router, mess around getting it set for the right dia, and depth of cut and no matter what you still have a pin hole for the circle jig to rotate on.

One of these, and a 3D printer, and the average joe could turn out some mindblowing stuff. This is pretty revolutionary.

This has huge potential. And I found a similar machine but not near as portable and won't do large items, only what it can be parked on. See Handibot
