This may be one of the coolest woodworking tools I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see once we scratch the surface

This would completely remove all the fun(?) I get from messing up every joint I make. I can see me having to actually buy firewood since I won't be generating it from my failed projects.

I have the previous version- the Ready2Rout and Ready2Lift motorized combo. I was always disappointed that they didn't develop the apps like they promised. I was looking for an automatic version of what Incra's router fence positioner can do, and Next Wave implied that was coming. But I never got any update. I thought it was a good system for small projects and workpieces, such as for dovetailing shallow drawers and making boxes. But for the price, it needs to do a lot more than that. I haven't tried the new version, but it looks like the same thing. So much potential, but after all these years I am starting to wonder if they will ever take it to the next level.

I tend to agree. I want to imagine it replacing a domino but, by virtue of being a router table add-on, this is for small projects... Hard to get precise joinery in large pieces. With only one of the x/y axes controlled by the machine, there's a lot of potential for user error (read: liability concerns) which will limit what it can do

Thanks, James. You voiced my biggest concern: Because it's a closed system, you're dependent on the company continuing to develop new apps and to continue to support the system. That's a huge risk. For example, a few years ago I bought a 'smart' treadmill. One of the selling points was that the treadmill connected to an app on your phone, which gave you access to several pre-programmed exercise routines, allowed you to create your own routines, and would track your workouts. It even weighed you each time you used the treadmill, so you could track your progress. The problem was the company quit updating the app within a year of my purchase. The app won't run on phones that are up-to-date with the current operating system (or even several iterations before the current system). That means I cannot use all the wizardry I paid for when I bought my treadmill.

It's 2,000 if you want the sliding miter with it, which I would consider necessary for this tool. Doesn't come with anything, you have to build it into your router table. It's interesting, feels like the next innovation on it might the one though for sure.

Very cool machine! I look forward to how you incorporate it into projects and come up with new ways to use it.

I bought the Nova Viking drill press after your review video and I haven’t regretted it once. Now I’m thinking my router table needs an upgrade. This is amazing.

Opens up the possibility for discovering new things with how easy it is. Like that pattern you made just effin around. Pretty cool.

I love this modern era of wood working and making we are in. This tool is awesome looking

I just bought mine, solely because of this video! I would love for another video to follow up, to see you actually "scratch the surface" of what it can do

Wow that is so cool. Hope you do more videos about this router and it’s features and can’t wait to see what you build with it. Thanks for sharing.

I think one of the most interesting ideas on this is the sliding mitre attachment running off that linear rail, which looks like a very sturdy set up.

Please get back to me after you’ve scratched the surface. That is an amazing tool! If I could afford it, and I still had a wood shop (long depressing story) I would buy it in a heartbeat! Thanks for showing us these new products!

Thanks for the information.. What a great idea.... I can see a lot of use in a shop where you might be making furniture etc.. Love this!

For simple setups this is a moderate gain versus the cost. However for things you couldn’t do like the keyhole slot, biscuit joining etc. this is a real game changer

I get the sense that you haven’t even scratched the surface of what you could do with this machine. But if you could making it in your shop, you can making it anywhere. Love you.

Fascinating machine and great video, Dave~! I'm ready to see you using this thing in a project. Great review~!

Some say he's trying to scratch the surface of what this machine can do to this very day.

Thats crazy, brilliant!

Well, I just purchased it hopefully it lives up to the expectations on the developers keep adding to the software

This is awesome can’t till more people get these in their hands .

This might be the coolest tool I’ve seen. It does it all! 💪🏽

WOW! WOW! WOW! That is amazing!

Im getting one right now this is exactly what i need in my shop even i have CNC machines but this is way faster and convenient to make traditional joints especially the the dovetail!!

Oh man! This is mind blowing! That is so cool! Definitely adding that in the to get list!!!!! 🤩🤩

Can't wait to pick one up

Your channel popped up on my youtube starting page and i just want to say that i really enjoy your videos. I am not a wood worker, mostly because of not having the space or tools to do so. Fun material though to work with. I have bought a book called "The Folk Art Instrument Builders Reference" by Charles E. Atchison which i hope to be able to do something with in the future. Building and playing your own instruments sounds really fun. I have built a really simple cigar box guitar once by taking the neck from a childrens guitar and attaching it to a cigar box. Plays pretty well. Take care and thank you for the videos.

Great video. Good product will save ppl a lot of setup time and time is money! Was actually thinking of doing a diy fence positioner myself but no way my one would have that functionality!

That’s pretty damn cool. I’m reminded of your crazy high end drill press

i agree its pretty cool most of the cons are placement and programing both can be overcome and im sure they will come up with more jig apps and ways to make your own jig apps

Pretty awesome this machine, really a cool tool and I tell you something......... you haven't scratch the service of what the machine can do. Love your humor 😜

This is pretty slick.

Very cool! While it's not a cnc, those are definitely some cnc mechanics there, coupled with good software. Thanks for another cool video!

I started engineering something like this a couple years back and got the bit moving up and down per my digital input via a stepper motor with an LCD screen and then got busy doing other things with plans to finish the table later. The programming is insane for someone that doesn't program. I would rather buy one.

Damn, that thing is crazy

Crazy...Interesting setup for sure!

Stunning! I haven’t even scratched the surface of my praise! Bob England

It will change woodworking for good.I loved this

This is freaking amazing

That looks rather excellent!

Looks nice and I hope it works out for your future projects.

I saw an ad in a magazine for this just yesterday and hadn't had a chance to follow up on it to see what it is, so great timing for your video. I hope you'll do a Part Two in a few months after you've used it more...and have scratched some surfaces. 🙂 I'll be interested to find out how well it stands up to heavy use over time. Did dust get into it and cause problems? Does it still maintain tolerances such as the set bit depth, spacing, etc as well then as it does now? Maybe you can cut some box joints or dovetails on one piece now and on the mating piece in a few months and see how well they fit together? I'll also be interested to see if Shark can or will update the software, such as to add the features in your list of cons, if software updates can be installed by the user, and if they're free. Or will they come out with a "new and improved RS10001" and early adopters are left out? Their website says it can be used with almost any router table, but what about using accessories such as after-market fences (e.g. Woodpeckers) or shop-made ones with all of their additional features? Thank you for a really informative and entertaining video.

I’m pretty good at scratching the surface with my handheld router, would love one of these,without the exorbitant cost of shipping to Australia, nice demo!

very cool video dave! never thought id find that to be so cool and useful. reasonable pricing too! crazy. lets scratch the surface next project! haha

Drinking game “we haven’t even scratched the surface” = 1 shot! Excellent video superb explanations thank you!!

Wow, pretty cool. This is like a Shaper Origin Router Table.

Wow!!! I need this!!!

I can see why this would appeal to many woodworkers: it's intuitive, precise, quick, and familiar. Keep in mind that you can achieve something very similar by using G-code directly, and many experienced CNC users will do just that.

I agree but this removes the computer from the equation which speeds up the process. As a CNC user myself I find this much easier and quicker.

Man, this really is a game changer. very nice machine! Oh, and great video!

Although I may never buy this, you made me want to buy it!👌 Can't wait for you to scratch the surface of it in future videos

That's pretty wild, and would probably pay for itself pretty quickly in a production shop. And sure it drills holes, but can it pound pegs? Thanks for sharing!

I haven't been this impressed with a tool since I saw the pantorouter, now I'm imaging how cool it would be if this system was on that as well

Wouldn't it just be a CNC at that point?

I totally want one now Dave. Great job reviewing. If it can replace a domino that would be great too. I'm sure you could find a setting that would work.

I am having router envy. That machine is amazing.

That is awesome 😎 thank you for sharing this.

awesome machine. I can see ways to improve it. like the box joint cutting. Place a wireless next and previous position button on the miter push bock. cut press button cut press button and hands never exit the work. I have been kicking the idea of making a router table saw fence like so.

2 axis CNC with good apps. I like it.

Wow that’s crazy cool

That’s a sweet machine! 🤤

This is awesome. I would buy this in a heartbeat if I was doing any kind of production work where this could help.

Pretty cool even for the hobbyist woodworker as long as you can bring the work to the machine. Dont throw away that domino to soon. i do look forward to seeing more apps.

Dave: "This is not a CNC." New Wave CNC (the manufacturer): "SHARK is America’s #1 CNC."

This is nothing short of amazing!!!! I'm actually suprised that its under 2k to get one!!!

The one thing that stands out to me on the negative side of things is that after each pass, you have to press the OK button. Why not provide a place to plug in a foot switch to be an "ok" key? Other than that, dang, this thing is so cool!

That textured pattern would look nice as a table top with glass over it. Possibly stain the top prior to carving it to highlight the texture further.

Really well thought out and useful tool definitely but can you use it to scratch up a surface. Love how each step you need to input has a clear image of what it's asking for so you can't misunderstand what you're being asked. Honestly can see this making life so much easier for so many woodworkers, both pro a dedicated amateur but it doesn't replace the Domino as you can't put domino joints in the end of really long planks nor can you take it with you to the work.

Ordered mine yesterday in no small part due to this video. I am looking forward to it and wonder if there will eventually be an add-on foot pedal for the next function so that you can cut box joints etc without taking your hands off the workpiece. That seems more efficient but I can see where it might be a safety issue too. Thanks again for excellent content presented in a fun but clear way. The production quality of you guys' videos is outstanding and has gotten better and better each and every video!

Finally they rebranded the ready2rout

Super Cool! I'm going to order one as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. 😉

Ok. I'm impressed. And we haven't even scratched the surface.

Honest review, first time i see u.

Great idea, can't wait for the geeks to get out Raspberry Pis, and Nemas. There will be a DIY version within a year.

I was wondering about the lock mitre bit! Good to know it can handle one.

At almost $2k, I think it’s probably best to save up a little more and get into a decent entry level CNC

I sort of agree, but I can see the market for this machine. A lot of people have a workflow in their shop that doesn't involve CAD software. This machine seems like it could easily be integrated into that workflow. If you want a degree of automation, but you don't want to start paying for a Fusion license, or learn how to use CAD software, this could be a good investment.

@@serdarbas8016 I think we have a different definition of "entry level" CNC. If you are spending $3-4k on any of the typical CNCs, you can definitely do all of the above and more. Especially if you shrink your footprint. needing a CNC to cover 4'x8' dramatically increases on the cost where as, something that does the sizes the machine from this video does is nearly professional level in 3-4k range.

@@CliffCutts a professional CNC can replace %80 of all my tools but I still own CNC + router + tablesaw, bandsaw… and other 20 tools. just because it can doesn’t mean it should. All tools functionally overlap eachother at some degree and all have different weaknesses and strengths. It can be cost, speed, efficiency, accuracy, repeatability etc. This router is almost a upside down CNC with your hands being Y axis. But it really have it’s advantages. Think of this as a afforable CNC with super fast setup and preset macros.

Looks pretty cool. Gives you some CNC functions at a lower price and without the length limitations.

A friend sent this video to me. It's pretty cool, I guess. The Incra TS/LS has been doing this manually for over a decade now. Once it's setup, it's insanely accurate. I don't see the need to spend another $1500 to make it motorized. But this one is cool for what it is.

That is flipping amazing. I would love that. Maybe one day I could but right now it isn’t possible. I absolutely love this machine tho. So innovative. I heard they the grapevine that you haven’t even scratched the surface of what that machine can do.

You are able to produce biscuits joints so much slower than a biscuiter can....amazing.

Awesome review. I’d love to know what that scratch resistant surface is made of.

These kinds of tools are at least 10 to 15 years overdue. The technology for making this has existed for at least 20 years.

For a small business online, I can see this being useful

It pleases me to see another wood worker intimidated by their router lol. Great video though. I love this product.

Saw this on another maker’s channel and he barely scratched the surface. I thought this is the largest waste of money. Saw yours and have been blown away. That is definitely something I’d get and justify (which I still can’t for a domino). The only feature I wish I’d had was for tongue and groove boards. Anyone who has tried makes it frustrating to line up both bits to space perfectly. Maybe that isn’t included or was scratching the surface. Spacing using two different router bits would make this a no-brainer!!!

Impressive !!

That's a steal for the price.

Dave, saw this last night. Great video - and thanks for sharing the tool find. It went to the top of the list of shop equipment to buy. I've been struggling trying to make due w/ the built in table on a Grizzly 1023 table saw, that is not compatible w/ a lift. Been looking for a comprehensive solution. Happy w/ the Kreg table?
