Guys, you really do excellent videos. You seem approachable, friendly and curious - almost like beginners yourselves showing the challenges with stuff as well. You are great advocates for the tool. Thank you for these Sessions. One thing that you missed was a bit of detail on the new cutter that deals with 18mm MDF in a single pass - keen to add that to my system so can you pick it up next time? Thanks and again, really well done. Andrew
Hi Andrew, That's the 5mm x 20mm O-Flute bit: www.shapertools.com/en-us/store/product/5-mm-x-20-mm-up-spiral-o-flute-router-bit? It does feel like magic when you use it!
I want to congratulate Shaper for the Studio software that is so easy to use and quick to design things to cut. There is however something missing that was most useful when using other software, and that was the ability to annotate drawings in BLUE and the Origin understood those notes and lines were not for cutting. I like to annotate my drawings so that when cutting I get reminders and guidance. In Studio and in "My Files" it would be great if we could keep component files inside a "Project Folder". Keep up the good work Guys, I love my Shaper and the whole collection of accessories.
Would love to see something like Construction Master Pro calculator or Vcarve Pro where you can do math using imperial fractions. Not required but would be incredibly powerful.
There is, and for demonstration purposes we zoomed through that, but there are ways you can mitigate tear our--scoring the grain, the direction of the bit, tape, and others. We'll note the interest in preventing tear out!
It would be helpful to give a more basic tutorial on the math for mortise and tenons. The why of what you are doing, size of tenon/mortise in relation to the piece, and a slower pace for us new woodworkers.
Hi Derek, Be sure to utilize the Offset feature to ease into your cut. Opening the pocket as you make test fits will give you the right fit consistently. Start with a positive offset then move to a negative one to open the pocket in very small increments--usually one or two thou at a time.
You guys are constantly converting inch fractions to decimals to use the numbers on the Origin! If you calculated in millimeters, a lot more people could find out what you are talking about without having to go to school again🥱 and you would save a calculation time - it seems that even you guys, have some trouble doing it😁🇩🇰 Except from the British (I think) and you Americans (with all due respect) inches are total gibberish to the rest of us 🤫🫣😁

How did you avoid cutting into the shaper workstation when you removed the outer parts of your stock when you cut the tenon? 🙏🏼
Where are the plans for the project on the video thumbnail? Great video🎉
Great video!

When you clear the little bits off on the 11 minute mark isn’t there a danger of getting tear out on the wood?

You are absolutely right! We need you to go slow and explain what you are doing. NEWBIE
I can’t for the life of me find the file for the dowel jig on Shaperhub…. Can you steer me to it please. Thanks ! (Great session too 😊)
You can find that project here: hub.shapertools.com/creators/59b9b947291ebbfa71254b56/shares/602e9649c0c0e20011d4b783?
Awesome. Thank you!
Would like the poppy file please
Hey there! For the puppy files, there are several on ShaperHub -- hub.shapertools.com/search?search=dog%20bowl
For the love of God, ... Metric :) Thank you for the video
Is auto pass only on gen 2 origin? I'm running with a gen 1
No, works on both but its a paid add on.
every time I try to make a dovetail, a mortise and tenon or an inlay with my shaper it comes out fitting like socks on a chicken.

You made the calulations so complicated.. it shows that much more work is needed to simplify the interface and the videos
Thanks for the feedback! We'll pass this along.
Lol , the math alone killed me .
