bushings for 1400 router ring

[asmirnov]

Hi,

My 1400 router came with a spare ring, it looks like the ring is ready to accept some sort of bushing/template guide bushing
(example like the one you can see here

)
in the middle but I couldn't get an answer so far as to whether there are bushings available for 1400's ring?

Thank you

Anatoliy

Hi,

The ring is used to fit any industry standard 1 3/16 bushing such as the following;

As a new owner of an OF1400 router, you are probably not aware that there is a supplemental manual for the OF1400 and a few other tools you might own. The copy rings, including the one you refer to are discussed in greater detail in the supplemental manual. Festool Documentation

Thanks, Ric, this was helpful.
One step further - do you know by any chance where I can purchase that "universal template guide" which is mentioned in the manual? I called my distributor where I purchased the router they said they don't have it, advised to call Festool directly.

Thanks and Regards,

Anatoliy

Thanks Ric and Todd,

I just spoke with Festool - they said they don't manufacture the bushing itself which on the picture in the manual is labeled as "universal template guide". So I guess I will look around for things like Todd mentioned from the 3-rd party.

Thanks and Regards,

Anatoliy
