You should get 1/4" and 8mm collets, a chip catcher, a dust extractor hood, a guide stop, and a guide bushing adapter.

Welcome to FOG!

I am jealous, this router or the TS55r are tied for what I want next of my list of Festool tools. Would like to hear how widely available the bits are for that router.

Enjoy!

It sucks that it doesn't come with a guide bush, at least in NA it comes with an adapter, over here you have to buy the specific 1010 bushes.
All the routers i had came with at least 1 guide bush to get you started, in my case it's the most used accessory. It does come with a rail adapter, while i never had to use it in over a year since i got the 1010 ...

I'm not that fussed about what comes with the bare machine, but I do like the idea of comprehensive sets that give you a reasonable saving. The OF2020 set is a good looking kit, why don't they offer something similar for OF1400 and OF1010. I realise that the OF2020 has multiple bases - but there's interesting stuff to be had all round!

I think there used to be a OF1000 accessory set or something, with my 2200 i got the set, you feel the pain once but then it's over and you have all the bushes, baseplates, guides and collets you can ever need.

You'll need to buy the edge guide for it. I was surprised when I found it didnt. Its the one accessory that I use the snot out of.  I also dont buy 8mm bits only the 1/4". The only 8mm bits I use are the ones that came with the LR 32 kit.

When ya get the TS55 be sure to either get a MFT or make a knock off. IMO the TS 55 w/o a MFT is like a cadilac with out the tires….

I love my 1010. With the right accessories you will be amazed of what it can do. So light and easy to handle. I would like to see a big set of accessories for it. Then you can see how really versatile it is.

Lee Valley sells a range of 8 mm bits.  I find 8 mm much smoother than 1/4.

1/4 bits are everywhere, but be wary of the cheaper ones.

You might buy all available accessories, and never regret. Must have accessories are:
angle unit,
edge plate
trammel
various dust hoods
centering mandrel

 

[MrToolJunkie]

I would get the edge guide too and template guides.

  Interesting, I'd expect that comment of 1/2" shank over a 1/4" shank for a same profile or diameter. But, you see it with just the jump from 1/4" to 8mm?  Were some profiles or bit applications more noticeable than you even expected?
Since I have the OF1400, I COULD buy 8mm shank bits for it, but didn't think there was a compelling reason.  [huh] [huh] [unsure]

There is excellent set of accessories for OF1010 on eBay. It should be completed tomorrow.  In my opinion that' exactly what OF-1010 needs. I've spent much more for my accessories.
So far price is more than reasonable. But who knows what final price would be.
