Default Re: Hand held CNC router

No, it's a free hand router. But uses an optical system (the dotted tape) for scanning/placement. You use it like an ordinary hand router, but it shows you a basic path to take/follow and then uses tiny servo motors to correct the x and y movements - sort of like how a gyro works. It is correcting your arm/hand inaccuracies. If you move too far off the path you are following, it retracts the tool so not to cause damage to your component. You can preposition and then hit go and it plunges down in exactly the correct position to begin cutting again.
Initially I say it looks quite good - time will tell and show its limitations, but so far I'm quite impressed.
