Shaper Tools Shaper Tools BenchPilot
BenchPilot is like autopilot for Origin: clip Origin into BenchPilot to turn it into a hands-free milling machine, capable of vertical or horizontal cutting. Let BenchPilot drive Origin so you can focus on other tasks at hand. Then simply unclip Origin to use it elsewhere when needed.
Note: Does not include, Origin, Workstation, or the Shelf Upgrade Kit
