Has anyone bought the Shaper Origin yet?

I see that the Festool parent company, the one that bought SawStop,
has now acquired the Shaper Origin.

So I guess you'll not be picking one up at Harbor Freight anytime real
soon now...

I hadn't heard of it before -- and didn't have time to do more than
just glance at the video so...at the risk of the obvious, how does
this thing work as being handheld?

How does it work? Expensively...

It is not for every body but will aid woodworkers that are in a small
production setting.
I thought the Domino was expensive 11 years ago but as it turns out it
has afforded me the opportunity to boost my production speed many times
over. I have cut in excess of 10,000 mortises with it. Think about how
long it would take to cut just 1,000 mortises on a traditional
mortiser... ;~) I can accurately cut a clean mortise as quickly as
cutting a slot with a plate joiner.
