It is probably an area I won't venture in to, but I really appreciate you doing this demonstration as I have wondered how it works. Amazing technology for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed this one. We need more hands on with the SO!
Good info, I want to do some inlay work and this should help.
Most interesting for these old eyes now that I'm more of a technology admirer these days than the woodworking adventurer I once was not to mention the cost of the Shaper Origin is quite prohibitive for this particular senior citizen with no family member to will it to who works with their hands anymore.
Just seeing this now...beautiful work. Question: I am working on an inlay with some very, very thin lines...and even with a 1/32 inch bit Origin won't cut out the pocket....any workarounds? Is is possible to "disable" Origin and have in pocket out, even if the pocket will be slightly larger than the bit diameter? Thanks!
When will the compass svg file be posted on Shaper Hub?
Very nice compass design. Good tips on work order and grain direction. You mention that the compass svg files would be posted on Shaker Hub. Don’t see the files on the site. Did you post them?
wow, nice machine
It may be better to do the pocketing action first, and then switch to the smaller bit for details. The pocketing action will stay away from the edges and you only have to switch bits once. Thanks for sharing. I just recently got my origin and will try some inlay soon.
How did you get the sharp points in the pocket with a 1/8 bit?
Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the same question.
It is kinda neat for the workshop that doesn't have much space but if you do have space to dedicate, a commercial cnc router will be automated and cheaper. If you want to save even more money, the diy rout will cost around 1.2k
Very nice. How much in $$$ is actually spent on Domino tape for such project (2 boards full). And can it be reused later?
18 Dollar for the tape in Amazon
150-feet provides ample coverage for approximately one and a half standard 4' x 8' sheets of plywood
@@DennDeBill so usd 18 per 1,5 sheet of board. Not cheap if you do a lot. I can't help wonder if inkjetted cash register roll would be acceptable for the shaper
@@havenisse2009 You can print your own dominos; I have. I print them on Terraslate waterproof paper as to make them reusable.
The tape can not be taken up and reapplied. That said, in many cases you can set up a dedicated cutting board in which case the tape says put and can be used over and over. Not forever, as nothing is forever, but many times.
you can make your own there few videos out there ,but if you buy workstation it has sealed tape on there so never have to use tape on small projects
OMG i am becoming my grampa. I see TONS of millineals buying this.. then see a metric ton of these millineals never using it and ends up on REDEDIT to sell without hardly using it.
Litterally all the younger folks who can afford this .. never even used a router or woodburner from back in the day.
An interesting piece of equipment. But at $2500 it's a bit expensive. For that money I can get a pretty good start on a CNC, which I think would be more useful.
That machine will roughly do the same things but will block a pretty large part of your workspace.
this machine is amazing ,you take machine to your work piece so your work area can be what ever size you like.plus its compact .worth every penny now even better with the latest firmware update
