Has anyone bought the Shaper Origin yet?

I see that the Festool parent company, the one that bought SawStop, has
now acquired the Shaper Origin.

So I guess you'll not be picking one up at Harbor Freight anytime real
soon now...

I hadn't heard of it before -- and didn't have time to do more than just
glance at the video so...at the risk of the obvious, how does this thing
work as being handheld?

I have the same question. The main video looked the user was simply following
a pattern while looking through a viewfinder. Having a pattern to follow is nice,
but you still gotta follow it. What am I missing?


The Spindle/motor portion of the tool moves independently, on it's own,
of your guidance.
You only keep the circle on the screen on the line to follow. The
spindle/motor moves X,Y,Z on its. own.
Watch a few video's and you will notice that the motor moves around in
different directions to stay dead on course. If you veer of too much
the spindle will raise automatically and not misscut.
