Hands-on with the Shaper Origin
When I was first searching for a CNC to add to my shop, I ran across an odd tool called the Shaper Origin. The tool was in essence a self-correcting router that works like a hand-held CNC machine. I spent some time watching the videos on their site and reading through the blog.

Still, it seemed absolutely incredible. Unbelievable really. Could such a thing really work? These weren’t the sort of directions I was looking for, but I decided it best not ignore the advice of a beat cop. Fast-for...
