Shaper Origin Handheld CNC and Accessories
Shaper Tools builds a system around Shaper Origin, a handheld CNC router that reads its position from ShaperTape and corrects the cut as you guide it. Around Origin, this collection carries the Workstation for repeat cuts on small parts and joinery, BenchPilot for hands-free CNC work on a bench, the Shaper Plate universal template jig, Shaper Trace for turning sketches into cut files, and AutoPass. Consumables include ShaperTape rolls, double-sided tape, spiral up-cut, engraving, and roughing bits, collet kits in 1/8" and 8mm, a bit washer, and a woven dust hose.
What to Look For
- Start with Origin. Every accessory here works with Origin, so buy the router first.
- Workholding. The Workstation holds boards on end for joinery. BenchPilot moves Origin along the bench without your hands on it.
- Bits and collets. Match bit shank to collet. The Essential Bit and Collet kits are a sensible first order.
- Tape supply. ShaperTape is consumable. Keep a roll on hand for each project.

Shaper Tools FAQ
What warranty covers Shaper Origin?
Shaper products, including Origin, Workstation, Plate, Trace, and BenchPilot, carry a 12-month limited warranty from the date of possession. Register Origin or BenchPilot to extend it by one year, to 2 years total. Wear items, consumables, and accidental damage are excluded.
Do I need a computer to use Origin?
No. Origin can create basic shapes and text on its own screen. For custom designs, import SVG files or use Shaper Trace to capture a drawing from paper.
