That does look like a cool tool! From the demo, I could not tell how they measured the angles that they were cutting. I am sure there must be a good way, but it looked like he just moved the fence to a random location, without using a scale or even seperate tools to measure the angle. Woodn't mind seeing one up close and personal. And ya gotta love the price: I wood take a dozen at $0.00!:D

Man that is nice! You're right about the price though - I googled this up...
The Jointmaker Pro will cost $1,195 retail, Economaki said, but there will be an introductory price of $995.
:eek: Yes, a 1000 dollar hand saw.

You guys are right. It must be a government design at that price!

There is no such thing as an unsafe tool, only unsafe owners. If you make a machine idiot-proof, God will invent a better idiot.

Tim,

The tool is $0.00. But they don't come with the blades. Those cost the $1200. ;)

Be nice to know how often they need to be sharpened.

I'm sure they have an optional dc attachment that you can get for a mere $500. :D
