I just bought the Extension table for the OF-1010 (488756) (http://www.festoolusa.com/products/routers/edge-trimming/extension-table-488756.html) and at first seem rather dissapointed with it. It's supposed to extend support for edge trimming, but it does not seem compatible with any of the other edge trimming accesories, because it ads height to the base. I don't seem able to mount it in combination with the parallel guide nor with the dust extraction hood (http://www.festoolusa.com/search.html?q=484453). And because the hole in the middle is so small there is no room for the chip catcher nor does it seem possible to mount larger bits through it (ex. for rounding). Am I doing something wrong (I attach it with the two vises that came with it on the only place on the base that will take those and with the regular irons on top) or is this really the way it is? And if so, if it's not compatible with the other edge trimming accesories, what's the point?

I bought and use it all the time!  If the 1010 isn't in the LR 32 plate, the extension is on the router. I did however, drill the opening larger to accommodate larger bits. I'm very pleased with the plate!  I'll be interested to hear yours or others thoughts but I am happy with it!

It's very handy especially on the narrow stock corners.  What I found that I need more plates for different router bit diameters.  I already increased hole diameter, but I'm going to use smaller bits too.
If you want use dust hood, you just need to acquire longer 8mm (5/16) rods.
