Amazing! I'm sure I'm the 10,000th person to suggest this but: What about adding a trace feature? Drop the upside down cutter 'into a hole'/'around an object', then pressing lightly against the shape, trace it into memory. Once done, select if you were tracing inside/outside the shape which offsets the pattern the radius of the shaft (it traces on the center point). Then you could copy that shape to other places, clean it up in the machine or export to a place to modify it, etc.
Has anyone seen my jaw? Because it just dropped and I can't find it anywhere. Unbelievable how this tool continues to get better and better. Thanks Shaper Team....
This tool has been the best money I've spent along with my sawstop. The customer support is amazing. Mine went down during the start of Covid, brushes worn out. They were closed, but still bent over backwards, went and opened up and sent me a new spindle motor. The software is lightyears beyond the original. How a company should be run.
@@leadhillsjoinery8135 I've had mine since the kickstarter, so what 4 years? It gets run HARD. It replaced a Bosch 1613 I used with jigs. I do flatpacks for speaker kits. Driver cutouts, jack plate and handle cutouts, flush driver cuts, all in 1/2 and 3/4 russian birch. Shaper asked me to connect so they could download the data from my tool to see the run time statistics. I asked to see it too, but haven't heard back.
You just made my day! The only things that drove me nuts with the origin was only being able to probe the left side of my work piece and not being able to name my work spaces.
Hi Thomas, For box joints there's an on-tool extension that will draw your cut for you. Mortise and tenon is similarly simple. Dovetails can be tricky because they require more thought into the placement of the cut path, and cutting with a dovetail bit can risk your workpiece if you accidentally for a retraction. It can be done but takes more experience!
Dovetail cutters are unfortunately not supported because the machine has a safety feature where it might pull up the spindle at a moment's notice. I have asked Shaper if there is a way to disable this to make dovetail cutting safer but they said no. You could route them sideways but then need to chisel out the corners manually. Shaper comes with software for automatic box joint placement. Mortise & tenon joints are easy.
Amazing!

Brushes worn out???? Thought festool stuff was good and would last. Any particular reason why the brushes gave in so soon?

Fun fact, the motor is a stock festool router motor. They will accept festool brushes
8 minutes in, this is already the biggest win I've ever seen in software development.

Don't think I will ever use the Workspaces section, but the grid updates are very much appreciated!
Truly impressive software and hardware.
I've never had a tool that got better after I bought it until sharper. This is a great update. Thank you.
AVM network devices have been availiable for years now...
Ironically they're routers too! 😂🤣
Ordering mine NOW!
Bloody brilliant so many improvements, Cool just got coolerer.
Cool just got coolerer, love it :)
You guys are the best. I love and appreciate the continuous innovation. Plus, I was just notified that my Workstation is on the way, hell yeah.
Sam thanks for your hard work brother.
Really excited about the changes to both grid and workspaces! Keep it up!
Cool machine I really want one! Are these software updates available for free to tool owners or is there a charge? Thanks
excellent update and presentation
Is there any way of having a grid with different X & Y values?
How easy is it to cut dovetails, mortise and tenons, box joints. Is there a big learning curve

I'm in Ireland, where can I purchase the sharper Origin?
Wow, excellent!
would this replace my router?
Congratulation ¡¡¡¡
Wow!
