I didn't see Shaper Origin mentioned here on HBA yet:

This is a hand-held CNC router that uses fiducial markers stuck to the piece being cut (think large wing skin) to position the cutting bit with high precision over an area of any size. It took me 14 years to complete an old-school aluminum kit--no matched holes or CNC punches--so the first thing that came to mind was, Hey, I could make my own matched holes!
I can envision many uses for wood and glass construction too. What would you use it for?
Here it is in the hands of a skilled maker:
