I know they are both expensive. The JT system is remarkable in it's capabilities and the Bosh system gets you going with all that's necessary. However a lot of guys are building their own systems for very little. Mike Gibson built one using a back up camera that he purchased from an automotive store. I believe he has around $20 in his system. Far below what the others charge. I bought the camera from a friend who purchased them online for under $10. Unfortunately I moved about then so finding a monitor that would work has been on the back burner for now but It looks like I can easily get a system going for under $100 and maybe way under depending on the price of a monitor.

Last I heard it was $650 and $900. The JT system has an android device and software. So not a direct comparison. The JT system captures an image of the cutter, and you change the outline by dragging a bar with a mouse. Bosch uses a dry erase marker. Pretty easy to build a DIY system.

Thanks Dick. I am giving a demo at my turning club this Sunday of my DYI version of the Visualizer and wanted to give the audience some idea of what the alternatives are.
