Hi all. I have the MFK 700 router. It comes with a traditional vertical base and 1.5 degree horizontal base for trimming lippings etc. I leave mine set up in this position exclusively. This means that I have an untouched vertical base with fence, extraction ports etc. in the box. Does anybody know if I can get a bare body MFK router to utilise the unused base etc. I could do with a small router for lighter tasks. I am UK based. Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks
Peter
 
That's a good question!  I wonder if you in fact can just buy the body whether the price is no different than buying the normal MFK with sys and the other stuff.  It wouldn't surprise me if it was near or even more expensive for just the body.  Let us know what the outcome is please.
 
The Festool 2013 North America catalog showed both the MFK 700 EQ Set cat # 574 368 with both the vertical and 1.5 degree horizontal bases in a SYS2 TL as well as the MFK 700 EQ Basic with just the vertical base in a carton for less money.

The 2014 catalog only lists the set. The most recent MFK 700 I purchased was in late 2012 and was a Basic. Over the years I bought 5 Basic and 4 Sets, plus 3 of the 0 degree horizontal bases. I keep MFK 700 set up with all three bases.

My shop makes a lot of cabinets and most need at least some trimming.
