I am going to make a router table for my OF 1400 EQ. Has anybody here done this? I have read many post that suggested to just by a different router for a table and I agree there are cons to having a great router stuck in a table. However I have only one router and do not want to by another one for the occasional use.
The problem I see is that the base does not have through holes to mount to a plate and the threaded holes appear to weak for mounting. If any body has used this router in a table, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks my Aussie friend, in the states we only dream about the entire festool line. I am really looking for a cheap solution. It appears I can make my own table insert and attach the router using the 5 small screw holes used for the base plate. Anyone know the screw thread or have any other ideas? Thanks

Thanks for the screw thead. Lucky for all of us Dubya will soon be gone.

On my OF1400 (US -- assume others are same base and threads):
  M6 X 1.00 threads are highlighted by Blue arrows
  M4 X 0.70 threads are highlighted by Yellow arrows

Buy another router, hang it under a flat surface and use your expensive plunge router from Festo to do work above the table.  Then you'll have a dedicated really small "shaper" that you don't have to take apart when you need a router for other applications.  Believe me, if you're doing any amount of woodworking other than once a month hobbyist stuff, this is the way to go.

I'd use the M6 screw holes in the base of the 1400 if I was wanting to mount the router onto another base.  There is a lot more metal in the root of the M6 screw threads than in the M4 threads.  And you won't have to remove and reinstall the non-scratch Festool base so switch over can be quicker.   I also strongly agree with the others who recommend buying another router to mount in a table.  Freud, PC, Triton and others make 12 - 13 Amp routers that can be purchased for half or less than the cost of the 1400, and they work well inverted in a table.
