An alternative to the Plexiglas template routing aid

[Forrest Anderson]

But when I'm scrolling trough my danish version of the Festool catalogue I cant' find the OF1400 parallel guide spare part number, and I can't find it in Festools online catalogue either. Is it because it is the same parallel guide as for one of their other routers...or should I just open my eyes a little bit wider [eek] in my search for the parts number ???

I took a look at the Danish catalog and didn't see it either.

However the part number should be 492636. 

I've just checked the Festool UK printed catalogue and the parallel side fence isn't shown as an accessory there either, however I think it's because it's included in the two OF1400 packages offered in the UK and therefore Festool doesn't feel that it needs to be listed as an optional accessory. Here's what's in these two packages, according to www.festool.co.uk:

OF 1400 EBQ-Plus GB 240V in a SYSTAINER, 367,00 GBP, Order number: 574410:
Scope of delivery:
- ? 8 mm clamping collet
- ? 12 mm clamping collet
- ? 1/2" (12.7 mm) clamping collet
- parallel side fence with fine adjustment and extraction hood
- copying ring ? 30 mm
- extraction hood, top
- chip deflector
- operation tool

OF 1400 EQ-Plus GB 110V in a SYSTAINER, 367,00 GBP, Order number: 574409:
Scope of delivery:
- ? 8 mm clamping collet
- ? 12 mm clamping collet
- ? 1/2" (12.7 mm) clamping collet
- parallel side fence with fine adjustment and extraction hood
- copying ring ? 30 mm
- extraction hood, top
- chip deflector
- operation tool

The same seems to apply to the Danish website - here is the contents list of the OF1400 from www.festool.dk (which includes a free box of router bits at the moment):

Overfr?ser OF 1400 EBQ-Plus+Box-OF-S 8/10x HW, Bestillingsnummer: 574316:
Leveringsomfang:
- spaendetang ? 8 mm
- spaendetang ? 12 mm

- fraeserboks
- betjeningsvaerktoj

Hi again...and thank you for replying.

Peter, thanks for the part number. My local dealer could probably also help me with that number...and of course tell me the price on the part.
But everything is closed here in Denmark during the Easter, so I tried to find the information myself and was a bit puzzled not finding the item in either the printed catalogue or in  the online spare part catalogue.

Forrest, the "danish" set you are listing is exactly the set I've bought ...just without the free router bits [big grin].

Has anyone done this with the the OF 1010? I have two doors that require Mortices - I don't own a OF 1400 or 22OO.  It looks like it would work  and I have some longer roods so I would just need to get another guide.

Regards

Chris

Bumping an old thread, but this is such a great idea its worth it! I was looking into the Plexiglass Template but really couldnt get past the $350 price tag for some milled plastic. I like the idea of buying another $80 edge guide much better.

Are all the SysNotes archived anywhere else these days? I couldnt find the one mentioned in this thread.

Using guide rail adapter as an outrigger for edge routing will cause the router to tilt. The adapter is designed to ride on top of 5 mm thick rail and its bottom is not coplanar with router base. You'll need to attach a spacer to the adapter.

Not sure that's right.  The guide rail adapter is co-planar with the standard router base, the adapter and router are designed to both sit on the rail.  They won't be co-planar if you use a base widener however.

I stand corrected.
