Updated 4/3: I've sold it -- no longer available.
Looking to supplement (not replace!) your Glowforge and expand your woodworking to include larger and/or thicker materials? Are you CNC-curious, but unwilling to dedicate even more of your precious shop space to a yet another permanent machine? Have I got a deal for you!
Seriously, I have a gently-used Shaper Origin with perhaps 8 to 10 hours on it that I’d like to sell. It’s been babied since I purchased it and still looks brand-new. I took these photos just yesterday:
Shaper Origin handheld CNC router (SO1-NN) with Shaper spindle (SM-1, made by Festool)
Included Accessories:
- 1 Roll of ShaperTape (150’)
- Set of tool change accessories
- USB flash drive
- 1/4" up-cut spiral cutters
- Two 1/8" up-cut spiral cutters
- 60° engraving cutter
- Universal dust collection adapter
- Tanos Systainer with custom supports (see below)
BTW, I wasn’t kidding about working with large materials – in case you’re unfamiliar with the Origin, you can use it on materials of pretty much any size. Want to inset a compass rose in the middle of a ballroom? Yup! Want to cut out a nine-foot surfboard? Can do. There’s no bed, so there’s no limit to your material size.
Ok, now the nitty-gritty… This unit originally sold for $2,499, but as of a few months ago is no longer available, as it was replaced by the Gen 2 version that goes for $2,899 and up (depending on options included). Used Origins are hard to come by – their users tend to be as attached to them as we are to our GFs. Nonetheless, I’ve decided it’s time to move on to other things and I’m (clearly) not using it enough to warrant hanging onto it.
Asking $2,100 for the entire package. Would prefer to forego shipping by selling to someone in the Denver / Front Range area. I’m am willing to negotiate insured shipping with UPS/FedEx, too.
If you’re interested, please DM me.
