I have one and rarely use it, but when I need it it's invaluable. I would never sell mine. CRG on this forum has two as he loves them so much, I can't recall having seen anyone regret buying one, ever.

What it does, it does really well, so even though it's a little bit of a niche machine, it's well worth it IMHO!
 
I have 2 for my shop, they work flawlessly. My favorite Festool routers.

I waited till I had a cabinet job with a ton of edgebanding to do before I purchased it. With the 1.5 degree base on it I absolutely love it. Fast and very clean results. To me it was well worth it.
 
Well, for the record I haven't used it for what you're looking for, and I also have minimal experience with it so far.

I was a little underwelmed with it at first and considered returning it, with the knowledge that I could go back and re buy it at a later date if I wanted to. I don't do edge banding, so I didn't need it for that.
I ended up keeping it because I have a soft spot for niche tools that can do unique jobs. I detest having to pause something because I don't have a tool or part I need.

Aside from edgeband trimming the advantage to this is the dust collection. There's no opening between the collection port and the hole in the base for the router bit. Most routers (trim routers with the half wrap around dust collection port being the exception) have a large opening between the base and router body so the dust collection loses a lot of suction.
In addition it has the Festool chip collector that mounts on the bottom of the base for edge trimming.

The depth adjustment is incrementally better than my Milwaukee trim routers, by itself not even close to worth the price difference IMO.

The extended (wide) trim base is fantastic, however Woodpeckers has one that is similar and much cheaper.

For your use (basically edge banding) this and the Festool OF1100 are the 2 best choices IMO.
The 700 normally comes with a 1.5* base for edge trimming. There's an available 0* base (what you would want) but I believe it's only available as an add on (extra $150). In addition, the space for a router bit is very limited with this base, though you can cut part of the base out to give you a little more room.
The 1100 has more flexibility for what you want to do, plus it's also a plunge router. However almost all of the extras are addons.

I apologize for this being a little disjointed, I'm very short on sleep at the moment.
 
If you go with the 1010 you’ll need the edging plate and angle arm. They allow the 1010 to work the same way the MFK 700 does.

You could use a bearing guided bit but the plate works better in my opinion.

  I tried the 1010 set up and didn't like it. It works. But it is clunky. If you want a router set up for edge band trimming the 700 is tremendous.

I have the 700 and it's kept in its Systainer ready to go for a single purpose...edge banding. I've not used it for any other task and I'm ok with that. Pull it out...plug it in...and done.

Lately however, I have been thinking about expanding it's use with the MFS for repetitive inlays...
 
I have two. One is permanently set up for flush cutting edge banding. The other is used for all sorts of tasks in both horizontal and vertical mode. I really like how it handles and how precise it can be adjusted. I would never part with those little routers. Yes, they are expensive. I can't deny that. But to me they are really a step up from other routers that can be used for similar tasks.
 
Same experience as SRSemenza--I didn't like the 1010 setup.  It is expensive for sure, but I really like the 700.

I started with the 1010 setup but because of how cumbersome/clunky it was, that forced my hand to purchase the 700 instead.
 
The MFK700 is great at what it does, either horizontal or vertical.  If I have to do edge banding or small roundovers, it is what I'll want to use.

I have the 1010 setup, but don't like it nearly as much as the 700.  The 1010 is probably a bit better than the FastCap Little Lipper, but it is not the night and day difference IMO that the MFK700 is.
 
I have both 1010 and 700, I use the 700 for about every free hand routing I do. I barely use the 1010 even though I have the trimming attachments. for the most part I only use the 1010 with my LR 32 system now. In my CMS router table I keep my 2200. Only need it for free hand occasionally
 
As luvmytoolz stated before, I have two of them because of my workflow. I got my first one, modified the Zero degree base to fit a longer bit and try leave it set-up that way. After breaking down that set-up too many times, I got a second one. It's not totally sensical, because you can literally change the bit and switch to the vertical base and cut something different, then swap it all back....and not lose the perfectly flush trim. It really will do that! But to skip the headache, I bought a second one from a member here.
It was the most un-used used machine ever. (assuming you would call "purchased" from a retailer, but never actually used, then sold as used)
I keep them both as top drawer in my Sysport stacks. They are that important to me, but I'm a pro in a busy cabinet shop, using them frequently. Like the others have said, they really shine with edging, but they are not a one-trick pony. The off-set of the vertical base makes them very stable when used for any other type of edge treatment; round-over, bevel, ogee, etc.

I also have two OF1010s, in a similar situation. One is set-up with a copy ring (guide bushing) and a specific bit, which never changes. The other is more versatile, getting changed more often.
I have all of the parts to do the horizontal trimming with the OF1010 too, but that was really just as a back-up before I got the second MFK700. It was that important to have that ability if something would happen to the main one.

My first MFK700 was destroyed in a fire several years ago and it was one of the very first things I replaced, along with a DF500, and RO90.
 
I don't have a MFK yet, but liked it enough to rebuild a Dewalt DW611 with an extended base similar to the MFK vertical base.  That stability gives me more sanity over the basic trimmer base.  That said, while you can retrofit any trim router to get 80% of the way there, the dust collection is subpar.  I lament not having the undermount dust collection - so I'm looking at the MFK seriously.  If you're one of those people who don't care about the tiny bit of dust on edge trimming, then you might have a tiny bit of buyer's remorse in realizing you could have just retrofit a base for 1/10th of the cost.  It's the 20% in microadjust and dust that's the price diff.
 
I was building some wooden rails/adapters to mount a baby gate on our wrought iron railings inside the house out of aspen that I got at Menards.  The aspen had sharp corners, so I chucked up a 1/8" roundover in my MFK700 and put the bottom dust extraction adapter on.  After 40 linear feet of roundovers, very little actually fell on the work bench, as shown.

The Vac-SYS was a huge help on this, too, but that's a whole other topic.  [bite tongue]

You never know how useful it is until you have one and especially have one easily deployed so you don't skip it. The inspection light is also a bit like that; lets me sand only as long as needed and where needed. Swear it saves so much sanding time. #offtopic
 
Vac-SYS is a nice complement to the MFK 700, Domino, and Conturo  [big grin]
