Frequently Asked Questions
We're happy to process POs from schools. Once you've decided on your package, we can provide a vendor quote, all applicable tax forms, and any other documentation your accounting or purchasing department requires to place an order.
Our Education support team can help you identify your shop's needs based on your class size, curriculum type, and the tools you currently have access to. But one of the best things about working with Origin in a classroom is how little you need by way of additional tools. If you already have dust extraction and safety equipment in your classroom, you can hit the ground running with Origin!
As with any rotary cutting tool, users of Origin must observe proper safety practices at all times. This includes basic practices like tying back loose clothing and hair; wearing hearing, eye, and respiratory protection, and remaining focused on your cut whenever using Origin.
