Oh, I see.

A short length of rubber hose (3" long) will do the job. One end over your round hard plastic hose and the other end onto the oval dust port. You could leave the rubber length permanently fitted to the oval port....??

It will fit the Festool oval port on the router but I cant say whether it will fit your hose.

ok so I assume its made of soft rubber type plastic an can therefore fir the oval dust port.
If the output diameter is not the same as my dust hose I can adapt with a stepped adaptor.

Why is the OF1010 dust port oval, 1st time I see this (I have a TS55 saw, ETS 125 sander, DF500 domino, all with round dust ports) ?

The adaptor you have posted a picture of is one of Festool's recent new additions for their hose's.
I don't have any of them on my hose's, I have the originals.

The tool end is flexible and will shape to fit over the oval port, but the hose end is rigid and is designed to fit the Festool hose. You may be fortunate and it may fit your hose, but you will need to compare your hose with a Festool 27mm hose.

Regarding why the OF1010 dust port is oval, I believe some of the earlier Festool tools had oval ports and it's stayed the same on the OF1010 even on the latest models. I have an earlyish Rotex RO150 and It has the same oval port on It as the OF1010. It is not a problem as the hose does bend to the correct shape and stays nice and snug on the port.

ok, thank you for the info.

Have you considered the MFK 700?
It's super fiddly, but so is the OF1010 when you set it up for that task.

Are you literally just laminate trimming?  Is the limitation of 3/4" diameter and 5/8" length
on the horizontal base acceptable in your situation?

If so, I've owned the MFK 700, and still own the 1010.  The MFK is definitely the way to
go for what it's intended for. 

 

[Laminator]

MFK 700 collects dust much better and is much easier to hold and balance when trimming laminate than the 1010.  Either one will get nearly 100 percent of the dust if you can guide it with one hand and hold a horsehair dusting over the bit from underneath.

I have been doing a lot of laminate work lately, much to my dismay and I was wondering if anyone has used the 1010 for laminate and how it did with the debris that was created. I have so far come up empty on finding a decent dust collection system on any of my other 6 laminate trimmers and thought this might be a good solution. Also would the 1010 hook up to a Fein vac without adapters. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Marco

Were you using the Chip Guard (486242) ? I have used my OF1010 quite a bit for edge trimming (but I admit - not for Formica) and I have had no dust problems at all.

If you have some other hose, consider getting the rockler adapters so you can connect them to the festools.  In the pics you'll even see a 1010 connected with their adapter.
