Woodworking or Not
Mar 2^nd, 2021 at 11:05am

This video applies to segmented turning and/or embellishments, that's why I chose to put it here.

This type of question is starting to come up more frequently these days as CNC becomes more accessible in the small shop.

using a similar design, which is why this video caught my attention.

The Shaper tool is of no use to me but in the right setting it has it benefits to be sure. The tool itself is not in question here, rather the method.

Relying mainly on layout and input of a CAD file and using a machine that does not let the operator cut incorrectly, how do you classify this activity?

To me, it's more like assembling a wooden puzzle.

Just not sure where. They are nice for home enterprises like jewelry. What I see happening is people thinking that something made on one of those machines is equivalent to hand made items. Glenn J.

There are other machines like the Shaper, that of course, have different interface software/screens. With each tool, there is a separate learning curve as it relates to menus and software.

There are differences not only in how it's made but the method of work as well. With the Shaper design you cut the pieces before you cut the mortised out area. This is usually done the other way around. Make your mortise, then cut your tenon or inlay to fit.

The other thing of course is the price, it starts at $2,499
