I have been reading the many interesting threads about edge routing and the new MFK700. I already own the OF1400 router, and have a couple of questions about the edge routing accessories available for it. Although the Festool USA web site does not show any of the edge routing goodies as accessories for the OF1400, the 2007 catalog does. One of the threads I read mentions the edge routing accessories do indeed work with the OF1400.
First question: The 2007 catalog shows the same edge routing accessories for the OF1010 and the OF1400, except that the Chip Deflector (486 242) is shown in the list for the OF1010, but not for the OF1400. Is the Chip Deflector used with the OF1400, or is it not required to use dust collection with the edge routing accessories with the OF1400?
Second question: I have read about the pros and cons of using the OF1400 as an edge routing tool. I understand the considerations, especially weight, but... Does anyone have experience using the OF1400 with the edge routing accessories? How well (or poorly) does the OF1400 work with the edge routing accessories?
