Shaper Origin SIG

Shaper Origin Handheld CNC

Location: Guild Studio

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 the February 27 session we will cover the basics of using Shaper Origin including setting up Shaper to make cuts using the various on-tool features. There will be ample time for all attendees to get hands-on time with the tool.

The guild promotes and encourages all members to act responsibly in matters of health and safety by adhering to the following measures:

• Staying Home When Sick: Members are urged to prioritize their health and the health of others by refraining from attending guild events, workshops, or gatherings when experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, especially those associated with COVID-19.
• Follow CDC guidelines: If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you are expected to follow the current CDC guidelines.
