Shaper Origin Handheld CNC Router with Workstation and BenchPilot

Say hello to portable precision: Shaper's revolutionary Origin computer-assisted handheld router. Just follow the toolpath on the screen! Provided you stay in the general area, the spindle will auto-correct 100x/second to keep the cutter within 1/100'' of the line. If you wander too far off, the bit will automatically retract to prevent damage. Since it is handheld, it's both portable and exceptionally space-efficient for small shops. Origin's touch-screen interface lets you select designs and cut dimensions on the fly, and it automatically calculates toolpaths—no programming required. Load designs via WiFi from the ShaperHub website, from a computer with the included USB stick, or design your project right on the screen. Dimension panels, cut complex shapes without templates, rout hinge mortises and cut joinery, all with just a few screen taps.

Shaper Origin Details:

• No limitations on the workpiece envelope—perfect for large projects that wouldn't fit on a traditional CNC
• Compact and portable—stows neatly in the included Sys 5 T-Loc Systainer
• To determine its position, the router reads the patterned Shaper Tape (included), which you adhere to the cutting area
• Automatic cut correction for X, Y and Z axes (left, right and depth-of-cut)
• Automated Z-axis touch-off sensor sets Z-zero in just seconds
• Intuitive touch-screen interface with multi-touch full-color LCD
• WiFi enabled for transfer of design files via ShaperHub, and for receiving software updates
• USB port allows easy offline transfer of design files
• Works with standard vector files (.SVG)
• On-tool design capabilities for ease of use
• Precision motor is produced by Festool to Shaper specifications
• Soft-start motor with overheating and overload safety shutoffs
• Dust port and shroud are designed around the spindle for optimal dust extraction
• Dust port fits most standard 27mm (35mm O.D.) and 36mm suction hoses (e.g. Festool, Fein)
• Includes a 6.5' adaptor hose with a 2-1/4'' O.D. nozzle for use with US-standard wet/dry vacs

Included Workstation adds vertical clamping for mortise-and-tenon joints, box joints and more!
Shaper Workstation features a precise vertical clamping surface and a table imprinted with the ShaperTape vision pattern, allowing you to machine small, precise parts like mortise-and-tenon joints and box joints. Beautifully engineered as a system to offer perfect 90° registration between the table and the clamping face, and across the clamping face using the retractable registration pins. Includes support arms, an angle fence and two clamps, which slide into T-slots in the face.

Included BenchPilot converts Origin into a hands-free automated cutting system!
BenchPilot converts a Shaper Origin into an automated, hands-free cutting system, so you can focus on other tasks instead and let BenchPilot do the navigating. Think of it as an autopilot controlled by Origin. Once Origin is clipped into place, BenchPilot drives it from point A to point B, with Origin continuing to handle the small precision movements. The gantry-like system provides horizontal and vertical milling capabilities. It's sized to be fully compatible with Shaper Workstation, but BenchPilot can also be mounted directly to your workbench for even more cutting capacity.
