With that in mind, I decided to push it's limits anyway. I have to remind myself this is only a trim level router, so I can't expect it would cut the same way I can with my 2 hp and a 1/2' bit. Shaper has an add in app to do the conversion and once I put the files in the Shaper cloud, they are available on the machine through my wifi. I used a free version of Fusion 360 to convert the files. dxf files, but I do have some experience with this type of thing. The tool is really easy to operate and the software interface is very intuitive. I'm working with white oak that is a little over 1' thick. I got the 8mm collet and a Whiteside upcut spiral bit. It comes with a 1/4' collet, but you can get an 8mm. The spindle is essentially a Festool 720 watt (1 hp I think) trim router.

Also, the traditional woodworker in me wants to say this is kind of cheating. However I had a hard time determining if it could really handle cutting thicker hardwood. Before buying it I did some research on line and found the hype is pretty high on this thing. I recently decided to take the plunge and bought a Shaper Origin.
