I just came across the kickstarter campaign for this tool:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/213...ref=aj8jqz

Seems targeted more toward 2 dimension work than 3D, as it travels on the surface of the base material...
I have zero experience with CNC, and am curious about the reactions/opinions of those that have used a CNC...

Thanks in advance

There is already one (The Shaper) on the market that this place is trying to do.  They use a kind of tape to register the cnc router with.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Neat. The biggest problem I see is the wheels dropping into the machined path. Build up of chips would be something you need to address (even though they say it's not a problem.) You could rig up an air line to solve that problem. Oh, another issue is that it only has a .004" resolution.... we all know that isn't close enough for wood work.
Uhoh

I was thinking some sort of fan would/could/should be a no brainer as well...Maybe when it gets to 0.002" I will jump in line

I am not a CNC person, but the concept sounds good, limitless CNC. But in application I agree with Mark, it's a toy, gonna get rerouted every time it get's into a track. crack or whatever, needs weight, and BIG wheels/tires. That all said does the software do what real CNC software does?

Looking at the pictures the wheels look like they would span the cuts as the are angled and wide

And when you give close a million dollars to a guy that make skateboards and surf boards with like 20 on the rack.... well this is what some other backers have learned from other lofty ideas:

Kickstarter is not a store. It's a way to bring creative projects to life. Kickstarter does not guarantee projects or investigate a creator's ability to complete their project. It is the responsibility of the project creator to complete their project as promised, and the claims of this project are theirs alone.


Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

pipe dream.  The shaper is really cool, but I just don't see this one ever working
