I show how to use a handheld CNC router, the Shaper Origin, to make aluminum parts for my CNC mill. www.shapertools... Shaft encoder: www.cui.com/pro...
That Shaper has got to be one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. I've made 3 CNC routers so I can appreciate what goes on there, but man! What a good idea. Taking the axes out of the machine (well from the user experience anyway).
First I thought "a handheld CNC router, that sound pretty much impossible, an oxymoron of a special kind" then I was: "Hoolyyy f.... " ....... and my jaw is still dropping!!
This really isn't my field, but I foresee handheld CNC routers revolutionizing the industry, especially for small businesses and individual users, if the price is right, of course. Seems like there's quite a bit of intelligence and processing power in that unit. Very cool. Thanks for the great demonstration.
that is a cool tool. however I would like to see some really close ups of the metal edges. to see just how well the compensation is. looks good from what I can see. nice video ~Russ
What an absolutely fantastic concept for a portable CNC. Now why didn't I think of that?! Well done on the mod plate, nice work. You have a fantastic voice and manner for teaching. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the excellent video on Shaper. I have watched some 15 videos on Shaper to get an idea as to how it works and what its capabilities are. I would say this is the best video that explains the operation with a demo. Looking forward to more videos on Shaper.
"...plugged the thumb-drive into the router." My brain was confused there for a minute since I'm used to hearing that phrase in a network computing context.
Wouldn't this be great for guitar makers. Routing for inlays or dots,slotting for fret wire,or even routing the rough shape of an arch top.where can I find out more info. This just opens up new possibilities in woodworking. Great tech.
I have been building CNC's for the last 10 years and this is brilliant. Great job in design and functionality. I wouldn't replace my CNC but I would buy this to compliment my work shop. How much $$$
I'm so enthralled with this Shaper technology, although i'm ill at ease with the fact that it's one of those new techs where the human operator is like a cheap dumb inaccurate subcontractor to the machine, providing rough muscle infrastructure to move the precision machine to its rough destination, then letting it do the precision work... unsettling but fascinating ! Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Yes I oilfield equipment with three cabinets full of blade motherboards to drive them all DOS. That was 23 years ago. nice hand cnc. Hope all goes well with your up grade. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that is one awesome bit of tech/tooling...I'm itching to get one, and hope you'll keep us posted on development and release dates. Mahalo and Aloha...Chuck
These guys should give you commission, as this worked better than any ad. I bet these guys got at least a few hundred sales purely off this video haha. Great video as always ben!
This is a very interesting use of applied augmented reality in a "hand tool", however wonder if the price of the unit will out way the value. Any pre-ideas on the cost?
Whoa this project is really picking up steam! I heard about it some time back on the Amp Hour while it was still under another name, and now I seem to come across it in all sorts of places.
This would be an amazing tool for prototypers. Did you put a caliper on the diameter of those discs to see if it indeed cut them precisely round? How close did they get? Were the holes precisely located? A precision tool becomes a fun tool when it's not precision!
This is either the coolest thing ever, or the silliest thing ever, I can't decide which. Luckily it will be so expensive I don't have to worry about that.
man that router is so cool! i like the idea of smarter tools, tools that can take some of the error out of the human hands, but still put the control in the hands of the user
I am sure you are getting lots of aluminum milling recommendations, but I'll add another. As far as bits are concerned, I've gotten best results with a single flute spiral upcut. An example would be an Onsrud 63-618. Climb milling seems to give cleaner cuts than conventional. Finally, directing compressed air at the bit while running makes a huge difference.
Hey man, it would be awesome if you started posting more videos, no need for it to be complex stuff, just simple interesting stuff you are making... Thanks and a hello from Brazil!
genius!!!!! I've thought of making something like this for a long long time, but as a thought experiment only. they implemented it so nicely. wow. wonder the response time of the camera+motors for fast wood cutting required for not burning the wood. amazing product.
Imagine the possibilities!! I suspect this would be fantastic for chassis layout for some of my electronics projects.. Then cutting holes for speaker drivers..... Wow!!!!
I really love your videos. so interesting and entertaining! this is a nice piece of tech but i also like your own developments, hope to see more of that cnc conversion!
Do you know how much this thing is going to cost? Awesome machine, I'd like to know it's limits for machining different types of metal of different thicknes
Yup I want one. Though, it probably wouldn't do well on sheet metal. I wonder if compressed air would prevent the aluminum from sticking to the end mill. At router speeds, I wouldn't be surprised if the aluminum is heating up and fusing to the end mill. Although, the more I think about it, it could also be a feed rate problem. The endmill isn't feeding into the aluminum fast enough causing the aluminum to distort out of the way instead of actually being cut. May I ask if your mill was originally cnc or was it retrofitted. Just curios. Never saw a bridgeport cnc before.
Hmm... yeah, right, a handheld CNC router, ha-ha, very funny, oh come on, this is bulls... wait.. wut?! Wuuuuut?! Holy shite! Shut up and take my money!
I know the shaper folks are trying to ramp up excitement for the release of this thing and you know what, it worked. Wow, I would love to have one just so my kids make with it. I hope its cost is with in reason.
Cool technology in response to expensive cnc equipment in a marginal economy. Think of all the production factories who invested millions on cnc machines only to go out of business. I worked in 3 plastics production facilities and the cnc equipment was always having troubles, most of the time it was software related made outside the usa. Another issue is the shortage of skilled labor for cnc operators & the high costs of paying them. All 3 of these factories that hired me (for production assembly) "had no one" to run the cnc machines when i got there. I had mentioned i did some cnc work in high school in the 1980's with dos software & i wrote all the programs myself on floppy disc, suddenly they tried to stick me in the cnc part of the buildings and do it all for $9/hr! lol. Here's a tip: The Germans don't always use windows xp.
great video and channel ☺ the handheld cnc is great and all... but I'm more interested in knowing what controller you used to to control your old cnc . especially the motors and encodes is it controlled via a motor driver or directly through the cnc controller?
This looks great. Say you need to reference to an existing feature on the workpiece (eg. an edge or existing hole). Can you do absolute positioning with the fiducials?
+Nelumbo Nucifera Yes. The fiducials can be placed anywhere (doesn't have to be on any specific edge), then when zoomed-in in the UI, you can use a feature to set marker points visually on the stock edge. It's much like tracing an edge in photoshop. Once done, you can use the machine's built-in CAM features to make holes and lines relative to the edge that you traced.
I suddenly find myself living in the future, what an amazing tool. What sort of level of accuracy does it have? I looked like it was cutting a fairly good circle.
Wow, that handheld router totally blew my mind! So cool! An awesome piece of tech, and seems to much more intuitive then a cnc router. Are there any restrictions on the work envelope, or can you make as large parts as you want if you just use enough og that tape?
Amazing ! So ... if I understand well, as long as there is enough positionning tape everywhere so that the Sharper never gets lost, there is virtualy no limit to the size of the part you can cut ! So you could cut life-sized wooden models :-D I want one !
I NEED one of these, when are they going to be available and do you have any idea of the retail price range? Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make this video, nicely done.
Oh Boy, Your family should be very very Proud of you. You really are something. I enjoy every bet of video that you make, and sometimes I envy you, because I would like to do one or two of the projects but my know how Is very limited compare to you, and my machines next to zero :( But I am doing something about that, I am learning more and more electronics and I have just ordered a Lathe. I do hope that in a year or two I will own a good cnc machine too. Anyway. I just wanted to thank you for all the inspirations and good video's....:)
I got in on the very early hours of the Shaper Origin pre-order, so I'm very excited to see you using it for aluminum, even that thin. Have you tried anything thicker?
looks like a dust collection tube would be a great addon for the Shaper. also the work piece seems to have received some nasty scratches. was it due to the Al scrap that was stuck to the cutting bit?
I see the encoder you are using is CUI. Is it their capacitive encoder? I've been looking at those because of their low cost compared to optical. It'll be interesting to see if they are accurate enough for CNC mill work. Will you be using them in 2000ppr mode or at a lower resolution?
Wild! Looks like your aluminum piece is above/on top of the surface with the tape targets, does the Shaper Origin compensate for this? How accurate is this thing?
hey, i have that router, are you using the original chuck? I've been trying to find a fairly affordable chuck for that router so i can put various size bits.
+CaliReef It's a standard 1/4" collet in the DeWalt router. I wanted to use 1/8" diameter tools, so I bought an Amana 1/4" to 1/8" adapter. It works really well, and there are many more milling tools with 1/8" diameter, so it helps a lot. When cutting metal, using an 1/8" tool is much easier to handle due to lower cutting force. www.amazon.com/Amana-RB-102-REDUCTION-BUSHING-TO/dp/B001NI6KO8
Pretty sweet tech! I wonder if it'll be a cheap alternative to a full blown CNC system, or if it's just going to be something for away-from-the-shop work. Speaking of CNC, could you give a novice looking to get into routers some pointers on what to look for? Or could you recommend a system to a newbie?
Very good video! For big CNC mill it will be better to use linear encoders mounted directly to axis (table), it will eliminate all backlash from drive screws and they are in general interchangeable with rotary encoders (if backlash is not huge, it's doesn't matter for control system if pulses comes from rotary encoder or linear encoder).
Can you tell how long the delay in the Shaper Origin is until it detects a movement and compensates it? When you wobble the router at #3:42 it stabilizes your shakes but for a fraction of a second the head still moves before being corrected. This is very visible when you look at the yellow motor-casing against the background. I expected it to show no movement with stabilization but it still shakes when you move the base, although much reduced. Are there any numbers on the lag or accuracy available? I'm curious how the stabilization works, is it solely based on image detection or are there gyroscopes in the tool for this?
Were the Aluminum chips a noticeable problem during the milling process? Usually they're pretty well contained in an enclosure for CNC Machines; but here, because of the handheld nature "Shaper," I would think it would not only be annoying, but also whip at your hands and get up under the base of the machine.
That router is one of the coolest gadgets I've seen in a while. God I want a CNC. Can anyone tell me what a good CNC machine for newbs would be? I'm curious to know if there is a CNC machine with simple software that someone could pick up fairly quickly and easily with no experience in software or hardware.

Holy moly.
That handheld CNC machine is awesome !
It's nice when when crowd funded projects are genuinely innovative. Great overview of the product.
Awesome machine! And great tutorial too. I can see you put a lot of effort into getting all the helpful shots.
This kind of invention is why I'm happy to live in this day and age
Not having to risk your life for hunting mammoths every time you get hungry is pretty nice too... :P
I would really like to see it have the ability to use a plasma torch as that would make this a must buy. Awesome tool, thanks for sharing.
The concept behind the Shaper router blew my mind!
What an absolutely fantastic concept for a portable CNC. Now why didn't I think of that?!
Well done on the mod plate, nice work.
You have a fantastic voice and manner for teaching. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
So cool! I played with one of those Shapers at Maker Faire last year. I looking forward to getting one when they come out!
Thanks for the excellent video on Shaper. I have watched some 15 videos on Shaper to get an idea as to how it works and what its capabilities are. I would say this is the best video that explains the operation with a demo.

"...plugged the thumb-drive into the router." My brain was confused there for a minute since I'm used to hearing that phrase in a network computing context.
I can actually plug a thumb drive in my wifi router and share its content on the network...
4800 baud is not too bad. My Commodore 64/128 only used around 300 back in the day. :-)
Wouldn't this be great for guitar makers. Routing for inlays or dots,slotting for fret wire,or even routing the rough shape of an arch top.where can I find out more info. This just opens up new possibilities in woodworking. Great tech.

Welcome to the future (or I guess present in this case)!
Im grinning ear to ear about that Shaper, I hope this project doesn't die, and i can buy one
Good work as usual AS!
This is the kind of tool that I would go out of my way to think up uses for! Totally awesome.
Agreed, this is absolutely awesome! And we're just in the beginning of the future - I wonder what other amazing tools are on the way?...
Wow this is like the most interesting tool I've seen in the past few years!
+VoltLog Indeed, hopefully its reasonably affordable when it comes out...
Whoa! That's an amazing machine! Thankyou for sharing this awesome experience with us.
What an impressive bit of kit.

This has to be one of the most interesting tools I have seen....super easy to use, I wish i could afford one
This is a very interesting use of applied augmented reality in a "hand tool", however wonder if the price of the unit will out way the value. Any pre-ideas on the cost?
Brilliant Design!!! Finally a tool that works smarter not harder!!! Incredible!!!
Whoa this project is really picking up steam! I heard about it some time back on the Amp Hour while it was still under another name, and now I seem to come across it in all sorts of places.
WoW..... Shaper is well outside the box, What a unique take on video to CNC interface.
Big Thumbs Up.
That thing is amazing. Great for people who don't have the room for a router table! I'm sure they'll sell tons of those.
I thought you were going to leave us with no money shot... thank you, it fit so nicely. Cheers sir.
This would be an amazing tool for prototypers. Did you put a caliper on the diameter of those discs to see if it indeed cut them precisely round? How close did they get? Were the holes precisely located? A precision tool becomes a fun tool when it's not precision!
To be honest, I had to Google CNC, but always like your videos. (I am a scientist, with no workshop experience)
That router is amazing! I imagine cost is pretty high - $1,000 even. I can see vast uses for that.
+ChrisB257 $1000 is probably a good guess. I can't imagine it being less than $750 or so at the bottom end.
This is either the coolest thing ever, or the silliest thing ever, I can't decide which.
Luckily it will be so expensive I don't have to worry about that.

Nice preview of an awesome piece of equipment! It does quite a nice job in aluminium, looking forward to its release and pricing.
Sleepless nights at Festool. This tool represents a turning point, wow!

That is quite the game changer! We'd love to try one of these out.
i remember when i was still working in machine shops and these things are so impressive
Awesome CNC conversion and application of an encoder.
Imagine the possibilities!! I suspect this would be fantastic for chassis layout for some of my electronics projects.. Then cutting holes for speaker drivers..... Wow!!!!
that's a great inovation for sheet work, setup is minimal. Have they set a price point yet?
I do 3d drafting for a living and this technology looks amazing. I would love to have one of these.
That Shaper router is awesome. It would be a good way to make accurate custom DIY aluminum panels for modular synthesizers.
I really love your videos. so interesting and entertaining! this is a nice piece of tech but i also like your own developments, hope to see more of that cnc conversion!
That cnc work's 100%. I also would like to get my 1. Let us know when it is available please
This is incredible! Thank you for bringing this to my attention, that is a great idea for a tool!

I hope they don't sell the rights to some big brand that will ruin it or remove functionality for sake of profitability

So, SO awesome. What a great idea!
agreed!

One video every month or two is not ok!! You have tons of subscribers now! Make more pls!
Always love your videos, great job again and thanks for your time. AWESOME!!!
So amazing! Really great tool. I hope the price of the end product won't be too much. So that people can actually buy them.
Very good video!
For big CNC mill it will be better to use linear encoders mounted directly to axis (table), it will eliminate all backlash from drive screws and they are in general interchangeable with rotary encoders (if backlash is not huge, it's doesn't matter for control system if pulses comes from rotary encoder or linear encoder).
Can you tell how long the delay in the Shaper Origin is until it detects a movement and compensates it? When you wobble the router at #3:42 it stabilizes your shakes but for a fraction of a second the head still moves before being corrected.

I'm curious how the stabilization works, is it solely based on image detection or are there gyroscopes in the tool for this?
I just want to know how much the shaper thing is, so I know how much I have to save up because I must have one!!! Awesome product!
Were the Aluminum chips a noticeable problem during the milling process? Usually they're pretty well contained in an enclosure for CNC Machines; but here, because of the handheld nature "Shaper," I would think it would not only be annoying, but also whip at your hands and get up under the base of the machine.

Amazing tool. One day maybe I'll be able to buy one.
That's incredible, no doubt it can take on polycarbonate sheeting too. It would be ideal for one off and short run projects.
that's very cool concept. thanks for sharing
