Considering Buying a Shaper Origin

[Crazyraceguy]

I really like my bandsaw. Actually I have two Shopsmith bandsaws. I have them set up with different blades. While Shopsmith is sort of a compromise it is definitely an improvement over the little Craftsman bandsaw that I had bought (back in the last century).

I have a ShopSmith too. It has been in my family since it was new, long before I was even born. It's so old that many of the accessories don't even fit it. I hate it as a table saw, it takes too much space as a drill press, pretty good as a lathe and a horizontal boring machine. I basically keep it out of nostalgia.

Nesting is an extension for Fusion. If you have a basic license, you have Arrange under the design workspace which is a poor-man's nesting. Or you can go really cheapo and just stick with the personal license and move everything manually under a manufacturer's model.

Since your Cabinet Planner exports to DXF, I would have figured you'd have pick up cut2d (vectric). It's quick to plop down 2D CAM paths in that prog.
