Over Edges, Curves and Surfaces. The Festool Router Systems. Tools for the toughest demands

Because routers must fulfil many different requirements. The next few pages deal with edges, forms, surfaces and normal wood joinery. Because the toughest demands on making high quality furniture must be fulfilled – without any compromises. For this reason, Festool offers not only a comprehensive router and edge router program but also the right accessories. From routers to multifunctional routing templates. These unique router systems will make your work easier. Day after day. Be inspired! Routing forms Routing edges Routing surfaces Perfect joining Overview of router systems

Exciting curves. Or how to shape work pieces perfectly.

Cutting forms | Intro Beautiful shapes are demanding and are time consuming to make. And it all starts with the construction of the proper template. It is nice when that can be avoided – by using the routing template from Festool. This template lets you cut precise radii and edges in a flash. In almost every size and shape.

Quickly make small radius cuts Small radius cuts for bistro tables, loud speaker enclosures, glazed panels, and sinks can be made particularly precisely and easily by using the MFS routing template.

Cutting forms | Small radii Perfect arcs with the routing template A template is necessary for producing radius cuts with a router. Whether made in advance by yourself, which is costly, or in the form of the variable MFS routing template. By using the MFS routing template, you can get started very quickly with the actual work by simply installing the routing template on the radius and drilling a centring hole in the panel. The routing template with the centring pin need only be inserted in the hole and the router put into the copying ring holder - and precise radii are ready to be made. Whether...

Large radius cuts with millimetre precision Whether they are formal dining tables or elegantly curved reception desks, large radius cuts can be made perfectly using the MFS routing template.

Cutting forms | Large radii Cutting large arc segments You can also save yourself a lot of time consuming effort in making templates even for large radius cuts whose centre points are outside of the work pieces - just use the extension profile for the MFS routing template. The centring pin in attached to a suitable base outside the panel to be cut and the router, with a suitable bit, is put into the positioned copying ring holder. The desired result is accurate to the millimetre, even for very large radius cuts. The hollow chamber profiles for extending the routing template are light and rigid....

Make cut-outs without tipping For cut-outs for cooktops, sinks and ventilation gratings or for glazed panels, the MFS routing template with tilt protection guarantees reliable results.

Cutting forms | Cut-outs Tilt protection for large cut-outs Cut-outs must be precise. Even if grooves are cut in stages, such as for large panel thicknesses. The routing template provides the precision - it can be set to the proper dimensions, fastened down and then routing can take place in one or more exactly identical work steps. The form will match perfectly. Secure placement of the router on straight paths and over edges the tilt protection ensures that the router will not tip over when producing large cut-outs. With the copying ring inserted laterally, the tilt protection moves along in...

Perfect edges and corners. Or why there must not be any tipping if a good result is to be produced.

Cutting edges | Intro Edges should always be produced perfectly. Whether they are round or angular. It is just for this purpose that Festool has developed the optimal accessory – for a stable base surface and sure guidance of the tool. This makes work tremendously easier and guarantees perfect results. Uniform, clean and free of splinters.

Routing edges without tipping over To produce one edge after another, without flying chips and without tipping over. This is done without any problems because of the chip deflector and the wide router base runner.

Routing edges | Profiling Precise edges without tipping When routing edges, the placement of the router using a normal base runner is not ideal. It can tilt at any time and destroy the edge. By using the wide base runner from Festool, size of the placement area is increased and the secure guidance of the router guaranteed. With just a few motions and without any using tools, the normal base runner can be replaced by the wide base runner. The advantages of the wide base runner become particularly clear when routing over edges - the easily guided and perfectly balanced router always remains secure...

Trimming edges without errors Routing marks on veneers cost time and money. For this reason, delicate materials require particular care when edges are trimmed. Or a 1.5° router table for the OFK 700 edge router.

Routing edges | Edge strips Edge routing using the 1.5° router table Right angles with the 0° router table For trimming edge strips on veneered surfaces and edge protrusions, an edge router with a 1.5° router table is the ideal choice. Here, the bore of the table holder is tilted by 1.5°; the router is correspondingly tilted 1.5° at the edge. This hardly visible technical advantage reliably avoids any cutting of the surface. For work pieces that are veneered or coated, the edge strips must be cut precisely at right angles to the surface. For this purpose, the edge router can be equipped with...

Solid wood edge strips with large radii Solid wood edges up to 28 mm wide can be quickly and reliably cut using a combination of a router and accessories for solid edge strips.

Routing edges | Solid wood edging Reliable edge work Thanks to the edge strip accessories, solid wood edge strips up to 28 mm thick can be cut using the handy OF 1010 router. By using the fine settings, precision in 1/10 mm steps is possible. Installation of edge strip sets takes place with just a few hand motions, which is especially important for custom work. The timesaving accessory for routing solid wood edge strips is the small and handy edge strip set. The large surface of the edging plate and the base runner of the router provide high stability and speed when routing. And the Resitex coating...
