I just purchased a new layout tool, an omnisquare. It's a multipurpose square. I believe it will be a very handy tool for a variety of woodworking layout tasks including CNC work.

I have no personal interest in this company, I'm passing it on because I think other woodworkers will find this tool very useful.

Isn't a ShopBot just a modified router? ;)

yes, but it is very versatile. The video shows the tool's other capabilities.

it is a cool looking tool. I don't really do that kind of work for the most part myself.

I can see how it would be useful, being so small. You could spend $20 and get far less value.

I just got mine and i'm a bit disappointed. It looks like either i got a used returned one or it looks like the lines were not hilited very well. I'm going to let them know what they will do and report back.

I heard from the guy. He said that was the way his die was set up and basically all of them are like that. He was willing to give me a refund. If you buy one just know that is what you will get.....
