I think this video is missing from the Shaper Sessions KZbin playlist.

[@Shapertools]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@peterquinn350]

Good stuff!

[@vanildobezerradossantos4131]

Esse equipamento é simplesmente incrível. Parabéns aos criadores. Felicitações desde Guarujá São Paulo, Brasil.

[@patrickchoiniere1373]

The music is cool, you also need to include the dancing too, lol

[@Shapertools]

We'll pass this feedback along ;-)

[@stevebader6385]

Thanks very much. I would recommend sealing the wood with lacquer sanding sealer before applying the ca as the ca often stains the wood and the stain does not completely sand out. Particularly with dark woods.

Hi! I’m assuming trace works as well with printed graphics as with pen drawings? I often have to deal with logos etc that don’t come as SVGs so the ability to print on A4 and then use with Trace would be great.

[@Shapertools]

Yep! Trace will work with sufficient contrast, so keep that in mind before printing.

This is amazing. Can shaper origin route channels thinner than 1mm for very fine work?

[@Shapertools]

Origin can cut very narrow lines, the diameter depends on the bit you're using. It can be difficult to cut that small and it can be delicate, but this is true of any rotary tool!

[@faresite]

@@Shapertools but I couldn’t find a router bit that is super thin on your products page. Does shaper origin accept third party router bits?

[@Shapertools]

Yep! Origin can carry any bit that fits in one of the collets: 8mm, 1/4", 6mm, 1/8", or 3mm

[@faresite]

@@Shapertools you’re making it very hard for me not to treat myself to a shaper origin 🤩

[@danielcotayo7726]

will be Shaper Trace available in December?? I already order it

[@Shapertools]

Trace is expected to ship on schedule--whether you ordered it on Kickstarter or shapertools.com/? the timeline given at the time of order should be accurate!

[@billwisdom3356]

I kind of like the Music!

[@robvanderhorst78]

Do you have a link where to but the 1 mm bronze square wire?

[@Shapertools]

We got ours off Amazon--you can find it pretty easily on Google or at local craft stores

[@jankooijman7601]

where do you get the 1mm bit from ?

[@Shapertools]

This is a 3mm cutter we got from McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com/8940A21/?

[@tonyzeh]

What were the wire cutters used to make the 90 degree cut on the square wire...and was the wire 18ga. most is listed by Gauge. Thanks! Looking forward to receiving my Shaper Trace! Should have a tool list when doing these great Shaper Sessions.

[@Shapertools]

Great question! These wire cutters are called "flush wire cutters". There are a ton of great options for whatever project you need them for :-)
