PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Shaper Origin is a handheld CNC router – a category of tool we invented almost a decade ago. It has the familiar form factor of a traditional router, with the precision of a high-end CNC machine. You steer Origin following the path on-screen, while it makes small “auto corrections” within a 1,2 cm range, leaving you with perfect results. Cutting joinery, profiles or patterns, and engraving for signage can all be handled directly on-tool, no programming required. It also works with almost any design software you use. So how does it work? Watch the video below.
Touch screen: Capacitive multi-touch full-color LCD.
Brushed Motor Spindle: Produced with Festool to Shaper specifications.
WiFi & USB: Over the air software updates, USB port allows easy offline transfer of design files.
Dust Port: Fits most standard 27mm & 36mm suction hoses.
Meet Origin
