Took me a bit to figure out how it worked, now I really want one of these routers. Does anyone have any actual experience using one? I am thinking of using it for aluminum parts.

Saw that the other day. It's a pretty neat concept with a bunch of pretty major names backing it.

Next step: mount the router on motorized rollers and have it drive around the work surface while cutting.

Neat, but I'll be really interested when there's a version for a plasma cutter.
