Brice,

What do you use for the 1400 when doing horizontal routing?  Anyone else?

Long term will the weight of the 1400 effect the edging plate and angle arm, I don't know.

When I say weight is one reason it's not recommended, I think it's more from a control perspective.  Just being able to handle and manage a router the size of the 1400 in that horizontal position.  I don't think there's any concern about effects on the plate or arm.

Chuck, generally, I don't use the 1400 with the edge routing accessories (since I have both the 1010 and MFK) but I know it works because I've done it a couple of times.

No question the setup is easier to use with the 1010 but certainly well within the "doable" range with the 1400. [2cents]

Having been to two Festool classes and had a great time  [thanks], perhaps it is time to consider a "Camp Festool," two week, 12-step program for tool junkies with lots of honeydoo projects.  Hardwood not included.  [eek]  Barbeque and cameraderie every evening  [drooling], rotating BBQ chefs with a prize for the best meal at the end (Festool gift certificate).

Bring your own trailer to haul home your creations.  [thumbs up]

we can have ribs one night and cut them up with the Kapex, theirs of course....... and use the rotex to really rub the spices into the slab!
