New Cutting Tool

For all you guys working with plastic and paper, this might be very useful new tool: Ultrasonic Cutter, see it HERE.
I have no affiliation with that company. Just keeping the pulse on new technologies....

WHAT? $162K Canadian. I'm a little short for that Darius. Cool looking little machine though.

Well the early bird price is US$278, later the estimate price is going to be around $390. Not cheap but for somebody who cuts lot of thick cardboard and plastic it's like a poor man laser cutter. I'm particularly intrigued by its' ability to cut along curvy lines and circles in one smooth motion. Myself I would rather test it first before splurging any of my denaros.
Protective gloves and glasses are standard safety precautions. Even X-acto advice is to wear safety glasses while using their blades....

$50,000 goal, already has $126,000.+. Interesting, but will stick with knife and scissors.

John, I use "cut" resistant cut gloves for all projects around the house. They save my knuckles from damage as well as the small cuts/scrapes always seemed to get. I use the Honeywell Work WE300 for hobby stuff. Cut level 3 rating. Use a size smaller than normal, can pick up small items and feel like second skin.

So, who is ordering one?

Full unboxing, user, long term use reports are desired

It just looks like a knife to me, now if you had it connected to a plotter you might have something.

So....you know those little electric Engraving Tools?

Mine is a red plastic handled thing, with a pointy metal nib.
Very loud when its running.

What if you welded a knife blade to the end of an engraving tip.
Make it into a vibrating knife thingy.
