Hope you guys laminated the back side of the panels to keep them balanced and to prevent bowing down the road. I'd also recommend a vinyl edge banding to protect the sides of the panels. Awesome little tool!!!!
Hi guys, Love the Ty “pro” tip this week, I am sure you guys have more of those, That is a very cool tool, may look into getting one for some fun projects. Thank you all.
I remember watching a few videos of this tool several years ago and it wasn't using the domino tape as a reference. I suppose those were beta testing units and that original concept wasn't quite reliable enough. It's a great idea in any case and the domino tape certainly keeps it on track, even if it's pretty cumbersome to use.
I think you may have mentioned it before but what is the collapsible work bench you are using. Have been watching a guy use the Shaper to build a Dan Lee boat, very neat piece of kit.
Thank you for sharing this process. I have a Lagoon 440 with some really bad floors that I need to re-make, and I've been looking for how-tos on this exact topic. I knew the process, but most of the how-tos are based on cabinetry and not floor panels. So it was really nice to see an exact video on what we're needing to do next summer! SV Saguaro
Interesting tool. How does the tool know the outside (X + Y) shape of the part? Did you draw it on first and tried to follow the drawn line? CNC normally follows a CAD designed pattern. The guide rails in a CNC system rigidly maintain X + Y reference with measured (lead screw) control to follow the CAD drawing. In this case there wasn’t a CAD drawing and no X + Y reference control.

you import a dxf file first. Based on the origin and orientation you set, it prompts you to follow the dxf path and it just compensates (minor x y adjustments) for your inaccuracy. The concept is quite ingenious.
You should give 3M Fastbond 30NF contact adhesive a try. It has a water based carrier with very low odor and dries slower ( 30 vs 10 minutes) than the normal organic solvent based contact adhesives, making much easier to apply. Once bond ready it works the same as other contact adhesives. Rollers are still throw away.
The correct way to make the floor panels is to cutout the panels first and then install and trim the laminate. You get a much better edge when done that way. After the panels are cutout and laminated you run a laminate trimmer around the edges of the panels which gives a perfect edge. I wasn't impressed with the shaper origin when I had a demo of one at one of my local tool suppliers. The accuracy they advertise is 1/100th with practice and with a cost of $3000 a gantry cnc router could be built for much less. I have built a few cnc gantry routers and the cost is only dropping. I just finished a 4x8 cnc router with a spindle and not a handheld router and the total cost was around $1,500 with a ball screw servo motor drive setup.
Great tool, but you will staring at it siting on a shelf for years before you use it again. Not something I would consider buying used. Next best thing next to having friend with a CNC. Nice uniform gaps everywhere. Didn't see you treat the panel edges to prevent edge warping in future because of moisture. Maybe something about those materials and glue that's new, at least to me.
As an mechanical engineer this is a very neat machine, thank you for demonstration.
Johan, Ran Sailing, uses his CNC in the build of their 50-foot sailboat. It's a very nice precision tool.
exactly i was going to say this and they have done anmazing jo building the frames with it .
I bet his wood grain matches up in a consistent way.

Awesome little tool!!!!
Sure did!
Wow you have nice toys. Keep up the good work 🎉🎉😊😊

Yea. Q: "How many years experience do you have doing this?". A: "3 hours".
Very cool! Love this project.

Astonishing, you folks are so creative.
Ty has all the cool tools . I should come and play !
Thats a very cool tool.
I saw the guy from Ran Sailing Channel use this machine, its wicked.
Freaking awesome tool and awesome job knocking that out. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks 👍
That little router is sweet, love the finger walking the router around🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺
That thing is nuts! Do you have to epoxy the exposed sides?
No, the high quality marine grade ply is solid. I will just add a finish wipe with oil or varnish
Ty you always take it to the next level of perfection. You guys are doing great job!💯👍
Wow, thank you!
WoW What a great machine! Portable CNC, amazing!
I think you may have mentioned it before but what is the collapsible work bench you are using.
Have been watching a guy use the Shaper to build a Dan Lee boat, very neat piece of kit.
The table is made by BORA I believe
That was cool AF guys!
OMG! That CNC router is amazing!
I love it!
Wow ! Very professional job! Like the cnc!
What an amazing bit of kit.
Super outil de découpe, je ne connaissais pas. Ty merci pour cette démonstration.
Thank you for showing this tool as I have been seriously looking to purchase one. Your video has help my decision to purchase one. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
Very nice result.
The result is SO….. professional- the floor looks brand new!
Wow! that a tool more people need to know about

Glad it was helpful!
What a great tool 🇬🇧
Sweet tool! Do you need to treat the base plywood with anything, since it is in a marine environment? Great Progress!
No need it is the top of the line marine grade ply. However It will get a quick wipe of finish to make it look nicer
Hi. what type of material are toy using for tge floor l
panels?
Meranti marine ply
👍✅ Dammmmmm you Ty, again making us want to buy fantastic tools that we will probably never use!!!!! Tks
Ran Sailing is building a '50 monohull. They used that same type of router to produce their parts (mold and stem so far). very cool tool.
Thats the coolest shit i have ever seen!!

that is amazing.
Does the unit come with an input device to program?
They have design software or you can use any XY coordinate file and upload with a thumb drive

Certainly a step above my old CNC 4x8 router!
Hi Frank.
what is the total time frame??? per one set up?
About 1 hr including computer work, tape and cutting. That got us 4-6 panels
I love any tool that allows me to say "Lidar"! Did you consider the makermade M2? They say it's good to .005"
The correct way to make the floor panels is to cutout the panels first and then install and trim the laminate. You get a much better edge when done that way. After the panels are cutout and laminated you run a laminate trimmer around the edges of the panels which gives a perfect edge.

true but a 4x8 gantry CNC won't fit in a systainer for sea going portability
Can you use it on fiberglass is so could make you money helping other sailors
Yes you can but of course make sure you are using a respirator and vac!
@@SailingDauntless that’s cool can do haul repairs
