Product catalog summary
Routing Edges Description: The edge router OFK 500 is a versatile tool designed for routing small radii, chamfering, and trimming. Its unique system ensures all tools have the same outer diameter, minimizing the plate opening and preventing tipping in problematic edge regions.
Required Equipment: Essential equipment includes the OFK 500 edge router, an ogee or chamfer cutter, and optionally, a multifunction table (MFT) and a CT series mobile dust extractor. Order numbers can be obtained from the Festool catalogue or website.
Preparation/Set-up: Insert the desired router bit into the OFK 500 and secure the acrylic glass extractor hood. Ensure the spring-loaded plastic part acts as a ball bearing brake on the copying ring. Adjust routing depth using the black ring above the router plate. Secure the workpiece on a stable base like the MFT table, using a vacuum clamping system if necessary.
Procedure: Turn on the edge router near the workpiece and guide it along the edge in the opposite direction to rout the desired profile. Maintain an even pace along the edge, switching off the router after completion. The router can be used horizontally or vertically, ensuring it is securely seated for consistent results.
