The Shaper BenchPilot is a cutting-edge accessory designed to automate your workflow with the Shaper Origin (Gen1 and Gen2). Acting like autopilot for your Origin, BenchPilot handles the heavy lifting by moving Origin along a programmed path while Origin maintains its precision cutting. It enables hands-free vertical and horizontal milling—perfect for batch jobs, joinery, engraving, and more. Simply clip your Origin into BenchPilot to enable automation, then unclip when you need to switch back to manual use. No need for advanced CNC knowledge or external software—if you can use Origin, you can use BenchPilot. Key Features: Hands-Free Operation: Automates the movement of Origin so you can focus on setup, prep, or secondary tasks. Clip-In Design: Easy to attach and detach—convert from hands-free to manual use in seconds. Horizontal and Vertical Milling: Offers flexibility for a range of jobs including inlays, engraving, and profiling. Compatible With Workstation: Designed to pair seamlessly with Shaper Workstation but can also be bench-mounted. Ideal for Batch Work: Great for repetitive cuts, saving time and reducing user fatigue. User-Friendly Interface: No g-code or third-party software required—just use your existing Origin skills.
