Introducing Shaper Origin, the worlds first handheld CNC. Pre-order now to save up to $400 off retail. www.shapertools.com


Thanks to all who made it to our open house this past weekend. We had such a great time demoing Origin and talking shop with all of you. These open houses are a great way for us to connect and learn more about our users, which in turn helps us make decisions to deliver you the best tool possible. Stay tuned to hear about our next open houses, and the events we'll be attending!

Sign-making is one of Origins best applications, because it involves one-off, large scale, detailed cuts. In this video we use Origin to make ourselves a quick white oak sign. Let us know what you'd like to see next! #shapermade


Since so many of you asked about our fixture for making the brass branding iron last week we thought we'd show the whole process. We've spent a lot of time thinking about fixturing your work for different applications and we'll be sharing more videos like this as we get closer to September! Opendesk we also forgot to give you guys a shoutout when we branded your beautiful edie stool, so we made a brand for your logo this time
😉 we'll be sending it your way! #shapermade


Sam used Shaper Origin to make a Shaper logo brand, with machinable brass and a quick cheap fixture! #shapermade


Come give Origin a test drive! Space is limited and RSVP is required but if you’re around the Bay Area on April 27th, we would like to invite you to a private event at Shaper HQ in San Francisco. Bring one friend (blow their mind!), make some sawdust with Origin, and chat with members of the Shaper team. Go here, use the password Sawdust and RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/shaper-open-house-april-27th-t…
Slawek was recently commissioned to build a massive Koa boardroom conference table with precise cable management features. The width of the conference table was five feet, which meant that the possibility of utilizing a 4’x8’ gantry-based CNC router was not an option, not to mention the limited space in his workshop.

Shaper HQ renovations continue... while installing new doors in our conference room, we realized that one door was 0.25in wider than its frame. It was easy to re-cut it to size and re-mortised the hinges using Origin! #shapermade #handheldcnc #woodworking #renovations

We've posted some images of the finished design of this chair, but here are the two scale models that were done to double check the dimensions and button up the details. The larger is 1/2in scale, and the teeny tiny one is 1/8th scale in balsa. All sizes were #shapermade
We helped our neighbors at Dubbelju Motorcycle Rentals make a sign for their shop #shapermade

We ripped out the carpet in our office to re-finish the hardwood floor beneath. Unfortunately exposing a few nasty holes and dents. Ended up being a fun quick patching project with Origin! #shapermade #shaperorigin #woodworking #gettingitdone #hardwoodfloor #handheldcnc

In our latest development update, we give a peek behind the curtain at our component and sub-assembly lifetime durability testing looks like. Some durability tests (e.g. button presses) are fairly straightforward and well-understood in the product testing world, but developing robotic power tools from the future has necessitated dreaming up new ways to torture them. Have you ever seen a pressurized extreme dust exposure cabinet? We hadn’t either… so we had to create one - now lovingly known around ShaperHQ as “Meonji” (Korean for “dust”, and #shapermade, of course!)...

Chinese Checkers is a game of marbles and making one shouldn't make you lose yours. Shaper Origin's precision made it easy for Jeremy to lay out and build a beautiful board out of a glue-up of white oak. He used Origin and a core box round nose bit to spot drill the seamless holes on the board. What's your next move? #rockler #rockler_woodworking #shapermade #shaperorigin #handheldcnc
