Build A Modular Articulated Tool Guide System

Get the plans for this project here: Check out the NEWER and BETTER version of this project: In this video I build a modular articulated tool guide for cutting and drilling magnet rotor plates and other steel components for micro wind turbines. Though my purpose is very specific, this guide system has a plethora of uses and would make the most out of any DIY'ers handheld power tool collection.
