BenchPilot

Clip Shaper Origin into BenchPilot to turn it into a hands-free milling machine, capable of vertical or horizontal cutting. Like autopilot for Origin, let BenchPilot drive so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Then simply unclip Origin to use it elsewhere when needed. Note: Does not include, Origin, Workstation, or the Shelf Upgrade Kit

"Go Hands Free. Stay Hands On.
Tired of driving Origin around? BenchPilot enables automated, hands-free cutting for Origin (Gen1 and Gen2) so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Clip Origin into BenchPilot and let it drive Origin from point A to point B, while Origin continues to handle the small precision movements. Think of it like autopilot for Origin.

Dimensioned and sized to fit perfectly with Shaper Workstation, BenchPilot creates a gantry-like system with horizontal and vertical milling capabilities – flexible for cutting joinery, inlays, intricate engravings, or profiles. It can also be mounted without Workstation and fit directly to your bench. It’s great for batch work or simply tedious and time-consuming jobs. Best of all, it doesn’t require complicated software, g-code, or any other type of CNC programming to operate.
