Introduction to the Shaper Origin Tool

Shaper Origin Handheld CNC

Prerequisites:  Completion of Intro to Guild Safety

Shaper Origin is a unique handheld CNC Router. With it, you can do things that cannot be done with any other tool.

This tool can do many functions of a CNC machine without the need to know anything about computers.

Origin creates a tool path for the router and all you need to do is follow the tool path within 1/2 inch and the router will follow the tool path with an accuracy of one thousandth of an inch.  With Origin you can do very complex joinery, precise marquetry, inlays, engraving and many other normal woodworking processes quickly and accurately.

In this session, we will demonstrate the theory and operation of Origin and provide ample time for all attendees to get some hands on time with the tool.

If there is enough interest, we will turn this into a monthly SIG where we can share projects, tips and techniques and answer questions regarding Origin.
