Shaper Origin is an intuitive handheld CNC router that brings digital precision to the craft of woodworking. When combined with its fixturing companion Shaper Workstation, the complete package from Shaper makes it easy to align and index your workpieces with precision and tackle even the most difficult projects with ease.
Origin’s portability and adaptability makes it the perfect tool to work on-site and on installed pieces. Origin combines the speed and portability of a traditional router with the precision of a CNC machine. Need a quick Dutchman patch? Simply scan the section of floor with Origin’s onboard camera, align your custom patch, and cut away.
If you’re installing hardware in a finished floor, Origin’s Offset Feature makes it a breeze to sneak up on the perfect fit, and you can cut the negative and the patch from a single file, stored digitally and available whenever you need it. Say goodbye to your router templates forever!
And if you’re taking on more ambitious projects like medallions and inlaid aprons, Origin’s ease of use means that you won’t need to overhaul the workflows that you’ve developed over time. Origin makes it easier to do what you do best.
