Some of you may remember me asking if anyone here has gotten a Shaper Origin yet.
I got mine about 10 days ago and have not had tome to test it out much other than the samples in the below links.
The tool comes with a map of the United States to practice with. I actually went over this same map with two different bits and multiple times with each. The registration for restarting a project is spot on. Basically if a piece needs to be modified it is a no brainer to set it back up and make a modification, this is assuming that you need to remove more material rather than replace material. :~)
Anyway this link takes you to my very first ever attempt at using a CNC. Obviously I should have used a larger piece of wood so that I could have scaled the map larger. Unfortunately some of the NE states got wiped off the map. ;~) The blank was 12" x 7" Also each state was individual, none shared the neighbor states geometry and this resulted in a wider division between the states. And FWIW this tool has scalable on-board lettering, hence the TEXAS.
July 5 I decided to see if I could duplicate the logo on my business card less the phone number and specialties. I would like to add this engraving to each of my pieces from this point on, or if a customer wants to bring me a door or drawer to add this to. It is approximately
2.5" x 1.5" This was done all with a v-groove bit and I am pleased with a first time attempt of converting a drawing of a bridge and importing lettering with a different font. Maybe a 1/16" straight cut bit will yield a simpler appearance.
