I got this old festo 5KE copying device from a friend, but have truly no clue how to set it up for use, or whith which router I should/can use it.
Does anybody know something about it and is he/she able to tell me?

Hi Burley, Welcome to the FOG!  Did a google search , not much but it looks like it might go with the Basis system. Seth |

Here is very bad scan from Festool's 2001/2002 global catalog. Basis 5 is pre-CMS module for OF-1010, Basis 6 is module for OF-2000. I think it should work with modern CMS system too. VictorL  |

Hi, With the bearing and the bit cover it looks like an old style part of the Festool router table module. On this video at about 3:15+ you'll see the craftsman using something similar to route some profiles. Or it could be part produced by their old commercial kitchen accessory division.....just kidding 
Cheers James |

Hi Burley - This looks to be functionally equivalent to a pin router attachment. We also make one - and have instructions posted at the link below which you may find helpful! Pin Router Arm InstructionsCheers - Rob |

It is indeed from the Basis and allows you to follow a top mounted template. I don't believe it is a seamless fit on the new CMS but it should be adaptable with a little work, probably adaptable to a more 'pedestrian' table as well. I know a fellow that has one and he sang its praises as one of his most useful router table attachments.

Thanks for your replies! I guess it will sit in its box for quite some time then, since I don't see any use for it. Being able to copy most things with a copy-bit or the guide ring. but again thanks for your replies  |
