My new old stock Festool 1010 plunge router

Nice vacuum adapter.

Got my Bosch 8mm shank router bit set today. They are black finish made in China. 8mm definitely is beefier than 1/4. I compared a 8mm Bosch to a 1/4 Freud . Both flush trim bits. [attachimg=1][attachimg=2]

Tested a Bosch 20mm.  Slight burn marks at beginning and end of cut. Slight burn on right hand side where router got off track a little. Used the Festool fence

Routed a new shelf using a existing shelf as a template . The original mdf shelf was breaking up. OF 1010 was perfect to cut a shelf out of 15/32 plywood. Used the other shelf as a template pin pin nailed to plywood. 8mm shank Bosch top bearing bit used. Now if I was cutting 3/4 plywood I would use one of my midsize routers and a 1/2 shank but. The littie Festool handles so well it’s my go to unless I’m cutting thick stock or using big bits. [attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4]

The little Festool handles so well it’s my go to unless I’m cutting thick stock or using big bits.

The 1010 is also my go-to Festool router for 70% of what I do. It's just such a pleasure to use. I own every Festool router plus 2 Milwaukee routers and the 1010 still does the lions-share of the work. The only annoying feature is the oval dust port.

Your thoughts on the Tool Curve dust port adapter?

Your thoughts on the Tool Curve dust port adapter?  I love it!  Fits nice and snug on the router and the vacuum end fits my WAP vacuum rubber tool adapter and my 27mm Festool hose ends perfect and snug.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Festool-Cl...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0  Takes about a week to ship. Made on a 3D printer.

Put a dedicated torx screwdriver in the case to attach edge dust hood. [attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]

I did the same thing, mostly for swapping the guide bushings.
