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” range, leaving you with perfect results. Cutting a 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this bit will fit the ¼” collet that is supplied with Origin.
This depends on the material you are cutting. You can find more information on recommended settings for Origin based on material types in this article: material recommendations.
The up-spiral design pulls material up and out of your cuts. This can leave a little fuzz on the top edge of your material but this is easily removed with a quick rough-up with fine grit sandpaper. Adjacent spoilboards are always recommended when making cuts beyond the edge of your material to reduce tear-out.
Resin, sap, and adhesives will build up on your cutter edge over time. This generates more friction on your bit and accelerates edge degradation. Keep your bits clean with a small brass brush, citrus cleaner and a rag.
