Nibs,

I saw it in action at the show in Atlanta 2 weeks ago. A very slick tool, that gets the job done perfectly every time. You say wait until you can afford a multi-router, the FMT is $800. I guess it depends on how much money you have to spend ;-) I have been struggling with the though of getting the FMT as well, but the tried and true methods seem to work for me, and are a lot cheaper. The FMT is also limited to the length of your straight bit. So, the longest M&T is 2-2.5".

But seeing it in action was compelling, although the professionals always make it look easy.
