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 other types of CNC programming to operate. If you know how to operate Origin, you’ll know how to operate BenchPilot.

• Drives Origin Automatically: Removes physical strain from long hours of Origin operation.
• Clip In, Unclip: Transform Origin to hands-free operation when you want to, then take Origin on the go when you need it.
• Variable feed rate control knob: Dial in the speed you want with real time control.
• Timer display: Origin will display its progress and time remaining while cutting with BenchPilot.

The Shelf Upgrade Kit maximizes the horizontal cutting area with Workstation. With its adjustable support leg, the Shelf Upgrade Kit helps maintain a flat and coplanar surface with the top of Workstation. This large shelf is over 3X bigger than the Shelf Assembly included with Workstation, making it a great candidate when you want to maximize the cuttable area with Workstation.  

Whether you’re driving Origin manually or using it with BenchPilot, the Shelf Upgrade Kit is an essential tool to get set up quickly and provide a flat, rigid, work surface. Slide the large shelf into place on Workstation’s clamping face; then use the lever to lock in the height; with the coarse and fine tune adjustment you can ensure that the surface is flat from front to back and remains so under load.

• Over 3X larger than the Shelf Assembly included with Workstation

• Stays flat under load with the included Adjustable Support Leg

• Fine tune adjustment to ensure coplanar surface with Workstation

• Does not include Shaper Workstation

Shaper Plate expands Origin’s capabilities by making it easy to align digital files on Origin to a pencil mark on your workpiece. Simply mark your stock, align Plate, and cut with Origin. With multiple fences along the front edge and sides of Plate, in addition to a center drop down “reticle,” you can align your design virtually anywhere within Plate’s cutting window. Best of all, just like Workstation, your Origin will remember the workspaces you create with your Plate.

• Built-in ShaperTape: Plate is made with durable and reusable ShaperTape so you can scan once and reuse Plate again and again.
• Anti-Slip Mat: Plate’s back side is covered in an anti-slip mat, making it easy to cut most jobs without needing to clamp Plate to your workpiece.
• System 32 Ready: Use the included System 32 pin to tile Plate while maintaining 32 mm hole spacing
• Cutting Window: 120mm X 160mm

Workstation is designed to streamline your workflow and expand Origin’s abilities by offering rapid, repeatable, and precise fixturing of a wide range of stock configurations.
