That looks pretty interesting.

It certainly looks pretty. And it has orange in it!

OTOH, the full package runs $3500, and "you can mill balsa wood" says something about the stiffness. I don't think I'll be putting it on my xmas list. It certainly would be nice to see in person, should someone in the area acquire one, though.

I wonder if the balsa wood comment is more about the dremel it uses rather than the frame itself.

Maybe. But for a $3500 package, if a dremel is the limiting factor, a motor, collet and stronger bearing assembly wouldn't be hard. I'd want to see it in action, under stress test.

But it *is* pretty!
