So at first I thought: it just *shows* you where to cut, but it's
essentially freehand??? But I watched a second video and now I see that
the router mount compensates to keep the router on the proper line.

So here's my next question: Obviously there's a limit to how quickly the
router control mount can react; presumably designed to be faster than
human hands are likely to jerk the tool off-course. But What about
vibration? And, assuming you might want to use something other than
plywood, tougher materials with inconsistencies? Does a 1/4" bit really
go through 3/4 material smoothly enough?

I ask this not to make an argument, but as a real question from someone
whose experience is limited.


I doubt anyone here can answer those questions. BUT Rockler is a
partner so maybe they will be able to offer hands on in the near future.


Whether it can or can not cut through 3/4" material, in one pass, I
would not want it to do so. My concern is if it can make multiple dept
passes in the same place once it cuts through the indexing tape.

But still I could use this on every project. This tool will probably be
as revolutionary as the Domino. CNC's are not horribly more expensive
but with this tool being portable it will not have size limitations like
a stationary CNC machine.
