I saw this a while back. It is an interesting device and If I was making something large it would probably be cheaper than a CNC router table. most of what I do could be handled by a small machine like the CNC Piranha FX. (~$1600.00) The Shaper hand held is currently ~1700.00, going soon to ~$2100.00. The Piranha does require that you have a computer, but obviously we all do in the forum.
How accurate is this router? Looked to me like the person guided the router along a path on the screen. Wouldn’t it be tricky to keep it on the path? looked like the router could move the bit on the x and y axis so maybe some kind or auto correct?
