[Woodworkers] Automated Table Saw Fence

[Dave Heitstuman]

He must have been watching this old house a few years back for his inspiration.  They had the TigerStop on one of the jobs.

If I was mass producing something in large quantities that required lots and lots of repetitive cuts, I could see where it might be worth the money.  If a guy had a few thousand extra dollars sitting around it might be fun to toss in and see where it goes.

Hey Folks -

You read that right! Talk about your must have table saw accessory! For 
just $800 you can have the Rip-it. A table saw fence with a touch 
screen. You punch in your width on the touch screen, and the fence 
automatically moves.

The above was pretty sarcastic, but really it's a neat idea if you can 
justify the cost. It's self-zeroing, repeatable, and probably a lot 
faster than using a tape measure with the old "Tap it with my fist" method.

If one of you jumps in on this let me know, I would LOVE to hear your 
experience. Looks like it's estimated to start shipping in September. 
Just in time for the holidays, in case any of you were struggling to 
come up with that perfect Christmas gift for me.  :)

-Brian
