Exciting curves. Or how to shape work pieces perfectly.

www.festool.co.uk 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.

7 360° 360° Cutting forms | Small radii Perfect arcs with the routing template Whether you want an inner or outer radius - the arc is ready in minutes. Because the Festool router copying ring matches the holder precisely - and the router can be smoothly and easily positioned within the routing template - the radius is correct the very fi rst time. The router can be rotated at any time, making work signifi cantly easier. And because the routing template can be easily extended, even radii of up to 4 m can be produced. The Festool solution A template is necessary for producing radius cuts with...

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.

< 2m Cutting forms | Large radii www.festool.co.uk The Festool solution 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. Cutting large arc segments The hollow chamber profiles for...

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

11 www.festool.co.uk Cutting forms | Cut-outs Festool stands for reliability. Results often depend upon small but critical details. Details that Festool always keeps in mind when developing new tools and accessories. That’s why we also have tilt protection – for secure placement and precise results. A product overview and order numbers are given starting on p. 34 The cut-out for the hotplate was produced using an OF 2200 router, the MFS 700 routing template plus tilt protection and a 12 D12/27 mm spiral groove cutter shank. The Festool solution Cut-outs must be precise. Even if grooves are...

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

13 www.festool.co.uk 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.

14 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 without tipping over

15 www.festool.co.uk Routing edges | Profiling Festool guarantees ergonomics. Festool power tools were developed for professionals. That is why they are also designed for fast, less tiring work - and because of their optimal weight distribution and the ergonomic construction, they fit perfectly in hand for every work step. A product overview and order numbers are given starting on p. 34 For edge routing, the following were used: an OF 2200 router, a wide base runner, a chip collector and two bits; a 12 D 66,6/28 mm chamfer cutter shank and a 12 D 39,5/23,5 mm rounding chamfer cutter shank....

16 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. Trimming edges without errors

17 0,20,4 0,6 0,8 0 www.festool.co.uk Routing edges | Edge strips Edge routing using the 1.5° 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. The 1.5° table is standard equipment with the Festool OFK 700 edge router. Right angles with the 0° router table For work pieces that are veneered or coated, the edge...

18 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. Solid wood edge strips with large radii

19 www.festool.co.uk Routing edges | Solid wood edging Festool means speed. Festool accessories make work easier and, above all, faster. Whereas other tools had to be used before, a handy router can now be used together with an edging set. For this dining table, an OF 1010 router, the Festool edge strip accessories and an 8 D 18/30 mm groove cutter shank were used. A product overview and order numbers are given starting on p. 34 The Festool solution 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...
