Handheld CNC? Awesome!

Ben over at Applied Science (you should check out his channel, he does a lot of cool stuff) has gotten a hold of a handheld CNC machine from Shaper Tools.

Basically this is a handheld cutter that you move around with your hands, neat enough, I have got one of those myself and use it every now and then, and it is really handy. But the one Ben has got is extremely awesome, because it also has camera controlled CNC capabilities that "auto-corrects" your hand movements! Tool snags on something while you are moving it? Mine would do a wrong cut, and I would have to start over... This one however, just quickly corrects the position of cutter and continues on! Excellent! Have a look at Ben's video:
