Cleat screwdriver holder

Place your spoilboard on top of your work surface.

Place double-sided woodworking tape about 6in apart on top of your spoilboard in the area that you will be cutting. Then place your ½” plywood on top of the spoilboard.

Clamp the plywood and spoilboard securely to the worksurface.

Apply your ShaperTape to the general area that you will be cutting and in the area that the camera will be tracking while cutting. We recommend at least 14in x 18in of taped work surface for this project.

Scan your work surface.

Place your design in the workspace.

Once placed, test your placement on the workspace by hovering over the edges of your design with the tool to make ensure you will be able to complete all cuts without running into camps, edges, or losing the view of the ShaperTape.

Unplug and remove the spindle from Origin and install the ¼” Up-Cut Bit into the collet. Re-install the spindle into the tool, plug it back in on the left side.

On screen, update the following:

Bit size: ¼” (.25in)
Z touch to calibrate the new bit height to your workspace

In this design we will be making 2 types of cuts: pocket cuts for the shelf slot joints and screwdriver beds and outside cuts for the exterior contours of the brackets and shelf. We will start with the pocket cuts.

Hover over the edge of the shelf pockets (inside the brackets) and enter/confirm the following settings:

Depth: 1/4" (.25in)
Cut type: Pocket
Offset: .0
Bit size: 1/4" (.25in)
Spindle speed (off screen): 6

Cut out the pockets on each bracket, plunging and retracting the spindle between each cut.

Origin automatically offsets pocket cuts, so in order to achieve the final dimension for the joints you will need to remove the offset.

Hover over the edge of your pocket cuts and update the following settings:

Depth: ¼” (.25in)
Cut type: Inside
Offset: 0

Make the final cut pass around the pockets on each bracket, plunging and retracting the spindle between each cut.

Next we will cut out recessed pocket on the top of the shelf for the screwdrivers. Hover over the edge of the pocket contour and update/confirm the following cut settings:

Depth: ⅛” (.125in)
Cut type: Pocket
Offset: 0
Bit size: ¼” (.25in)
Spindle speed (off screen): 6

Make the pocket cut pass across the recessed pocket on the shelf. You may want to go back and forth a few times, being cautious around the edges, to ensure a smooth bottom to the pocket.

Origin automatically offsets pocket cuts, so in order to achieve the final dimension of the recessed screwdriver pocket, we will switch to an inside cut to remove the offset.

Hover over the edge of your pocket cut and update the following settings:

Cut type: Inside
Offset: 0

Make the final cut pass on the screwdriver pocket.

Next we will cut out the exterior contours of the design. Hover over the edge of one of the exterior contours and update/confirm the following cut settings:

Depth: ¼” (.25in)
Cut type: Outside
Offset: 0
Bit size: ¼” (.25in)
Spindle speed (off screen): 6

Make the first cut pass around the exterior contours of all 4 parts of the design.
