Shaper Workstation was the first accessory released for Origin to support vertical and horizontal work holding for repeatable setups.

In this Session, we'll explore how to get the most out of Workstation. We'll cover practical setup tips, different ways to hold and support your workpiece, and techniques that can help you work more efficiently and confidently with Origin.

Plus, stick around for a special Q&A with Co-CEO Joe Hebenstreit. Joe will join us to answer questions about Shaper's next chapter as we transition into the Festool family of products later this year. While we probably won't be able to answer every question, we'll do our best clarify and points of confusion.

Complex cuts just need the right setup. In this Session, we’ll focus on practical ways to tackle challenging setups, including using Plate to create System 32 tenons on long boards, installing hinges in tight corners, rounding corners with Studio templates, and creating system holes with a 3D-printed jig inspired by a design from the Shaper Community Forum.

Take your sign-making skills even further with two powerful Studio tools: Offset and Custom Radius. Learn how to create a fully customized sign all without leaving Studio. We'll walk through practical workflows, time-saving tips, and real project examples that will help you design cleaner, more polished signs with less effort.
