How Much Has The OF2200 Changed?

[onocoffee]

Found a guy selling an OF2200 EB-Plus USA in a T-Loc Systainer, along with a TS 75 EQ-Plus USA in first gen systainer, at a fairly good price. Wondering how, if at all, the router (or the 75) has changed and if there are any issues to be concerned with these older tools?
Thanks

The switch on the 2200 may be different than on the initial version.  The original version had a switch that could be locked on and then if power was interrupted and restored (like using it in a router table with a remote on/off switch) it would turn on.  That has changed so that if locked on and then power is interrupted and restored it will not turn on.  The switch on the tool itself would then have to be turned off and then back on.  Because the 75 doesn't have a locking switch it wasn't changed.  Also depending on what era model you are looking at the measurement scales with the original models being metric and then there were changes to imperial.  Both those tools seem to hold up well, especially the 2200.  Rarely do you read about issues with those.

Thanks, Peter. The tools are down near Roanoke, so it's a bit of a drive for me! This helps.

Really? I gotta test that on my TS 55 F

Since for table (CMS) use you could 'clip' it permanently on.

Perhaps I am mistaken on the TS75.  I know my TS-55 doesn't have one.  I admit that I don't know if the innards were changed so that if you had the TS Saws mounted in a module and then had the plastic piece installed so that the trigger was constantly pressed in and then there was a power failure...  We over on this side of the pond never had the legal way of using the saws or the 2200 in the CMS.

Yes, but it still worked. Contrary to now with the NVR switches.
