I've never seen anything similar to this before. Looks pretty cool.

Somehow that's got a science-fiction aura... or at least james-bond-ish.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I wonder why they don't list what the SCFM's and PSI required to make it work? I'm thinking that maybe my little pancake compressor might not be quite big enough.
Pretty neat idea though.

seen it
worked at a machine shop that built a unit similar to that in mechanics...used to move big(BIG) rockets from plant to plant...like from the fabrication building to the paint booth, for instance...worked really well for the end user...wouldnt be a bad idea for a shop...

More info - expensive. Compressor must generate 100 lbs/inch and 5 CFM. But I've never seen a lbs/inch rating. Have you?

Made by General?? Please don't tell me HF General!!
It sounds a like a simple design, and easy to use. I can also see the price dropping in the years to come with such a simple design, and probably knock offs around the corner.
You can get by with just one. Slide it under the machine, move it to where you want it, remove the pad. Repeat

Uh, TheRic, I don't know how simple the "slide it under" and "remove" will be if the tool is an 800 lb jointer or whatever. I'd have to borrow 3 neighbors each time!- David
