Each cut is flipped and aligned with the kerf for the subsequent cuts. It is really fast and is never off more than a few thousandths. We fully expect our Jointmaker Pro owners to discover many new uses for this precision and ideas such as an Incra fence is a great start. Although Squiggle Wood is sure to be poo-pooed by the Woodworking Taliban, I assure you we have a use that will knock your socks off--figuratively speaking of course... --John Charles-

Given that this tool's strength lies in precision cutting at this small scale one upgrade for the future may be a fence system similar to the Incra wonder fence as it moves the workpiece in 1/32 increments. I would think that would be of great use with repeated, advancing cuts of such precision as demonstrated in this video. Any thoughts as to whether it would be a good/bad idea for us to try rigging up something like Incra's wonder fence? Regards, Charles Very cool… can’t wait to try this out when mine ships.
