1010

[Gjarman12]

I'm thinking about buying the 1010 for handheld use. My immediate uses will be some dados in mdf and hardwood, some trim work on a wall (well a Murphy bed) using the guide rail (I have the guide rail already), some rabbets on a circle and maybe a custom MFT top (will need the right bit for that though). Ultimately I think I'll get the ls32 for making cabinets, but I want to know if I'll be able to do these tasks (not the cabinets) with the equipment that comes in the systainer. I have a bunch of cheap 1/4 router bits already.

Which accessories come with the tool varies significantly from country to country.  You might want to direct your question to your distributor.  If you are dealing with Lee Valley, I'm sure you could get a good answer.

I presume you have a vac to fit on the router.  You will definitely need dust extraction.

 

[Gjarman12]

Yes, I do have a vacuum. Lee Valley's site does include the rail stop guide, what purpose does it serve?

The Guide Stop allows one to run a straight line relative to the guide rail placement. While using stops on the guide rail, it can also make it easy to create stopped dado or similar stopped features that are repeatable.

The OF 1010, as sold here, comes with the guide stop but not the Fine Adjuster, which is quite useful.

It comes with everything you need to do datos. You just need the edge guide and fine adjuster if you dont want to used the guide.

Either way. the 1010 has become my favorite router. It is amazingly powerful for it package size and it is super well balanced. I too will be getting the lr 32 for making cabinet holes.

hope this helps.

I just used the 1010 for trimming edge banding with the base that allows it to be used horizontally and other related parts and it was GREAT. I know that this is only one small part of its repertoire of functionality but it was one of the main justifications for me to buy it.

No more accidentally rocking my trim router while riding along the edge.

Thanks. I bought the router yesterday and it seems great so far. Is this the edge guide?

 

[dltflt]

Yes it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood him to say that he used the edging plate with the angle arm.

Like in this video:

as mike_aa says, I was referring to the edging plate as shown in the video.

Just used this yesterday in this application trimming edging on a cabinet I am making. Worked great. I thought about getting the MFK700, but this worked really well and so no real need. So versatile of a router.
