MFK 700 max horizontal flush cut?

[Sawduststout]

Hey guys,
I have caught the Festool bug and am now looking at getting the MFK 700 Router. The main feature I like about it is the horizontal base. My question is how thick of material can I flush cut in the horizontal position? I thought I read somewhere that it is 5mm max? I was hoping to use it on pieces with thicker hardwood edges to flush trim.

Thanks for any input.

I believe it is 5/8" - 16mm.

Correct.  You may find this of interest if you needed a thicker edge.

Half inch shy has a great tutorial on the MFK700 that might be useful as well.
