Shaper Origin Demo - Exploring The Shaper BenchPilot
2026-02-28 10:00 - 12:00
We are thrilled to invite you to an exciting event showcasing the innovative Shaper Origin System! Mark your calendars for a hands-on demo where you’ll discover the incredible capabilities of the Shaper Origin handheld CNC. This is a fantastic opportunity for both woodworking professionals and passionate hobbyists to dive deep into the world of CNC precision.
During the demo, we will explore not only the Shaper Origin itself but also the all new BenchPilot. BenchPilot is like autopilot for Origin: clip Origin into BenchPilot to turn it into a hands-free milling machine, capable of vertical or horizontal cutting. Let BenchPilot drive Origin so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Then simply unclip Origin to use it elsewhere when needed. Dimensioned and sized to fit perfectly with Shaper Workstation, BenchPilot creates a gantry-like system with horizontal and vertical milling capabilities, making it flexible enough for cutting joinery, inlays, intricate engravings or profiles. It can also be mounted directly to your workbench without Workstation. Perfect for batch work and time-consuming jobs, all without the need for complex software, g-code, or CNC programming.
Join us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at our showroom, where you can enjoy complimentary coffee and donuts while you immerse yourself in the world of woodworking innovation. This hands-on experience is designed to encourage you to explore the Shaper Origin and its accessories, all while benefiting from our personalized support and expert guidance.
