Features and Benefits
How Origin Works
Location Tracking + Active Motion Control = Precision Freehand Cutting
Origin locates itself in a workspace and makes continuous real-time adjustments while the user is cutting. The result is precision — wherever you need it.
Touch Screen
Use it to place designs in your workspace and set cut specs on the fly. Origin automatically calculates toolpaths for you — no additional programming required.
Onboard Computer
Just keep Origin close to the path shown on the screen. The onboard computer moves the spindle 100 times per second, keeping the bit right on the toolpath.
ShaperTape
Proprietary technology for position tracking to 1/1000". It removes easily, with no residue, and cuts clean. Workstation ships with a durable, pre-applied ShaperTape surface, integrating with Origin’s computer vision system.
Proven Spindle Design
Shaper SM1 variable speed, load-compensating spindle designed and manufactured to Shaper specifications by Festool
Keep Cuts Clean
Dust collection port and included adapter hose compatible with most portable dust collectors
Gets Better With Time
