Shaper Origin with Festool SM1 motor

[Rascherl]

I am looking for replacement brushes for the Saper Origin handheld CNC with a motor made by Festool the SM1 motor. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

From the Shaper website: Origin’s spindle is a 720W Universal Brushed Motor designed and manufactured to Shaper’s specifications by Festool.

Suggest you contact Shaper support at:  support@shapertools.com

There is also a very active Shaper Orgin Forum at Shaper Community

Shaper support was no help but Festool was. They called me back with the part number. It's the same spindle motor as the MFK 700 router part number #490219

Thanks for posting this information! Good luck!

I dunno why support on the forums is always adamant that it's not a Festool router, despite everyone under the sun has replaced it with the MFK brushes

Probably because Festool and Shaper-tools are separate companies (with the same parent company).

Shaper does not sell replacement brushes but does offer a brush replacement service for $60 which includes shipping. If you contact Shaper they will issue you a shipping label to return the spindle for brush replacement.

That's not a bad price considering the brushes are $20 and shipping anything nowadays is at least $10.
