A current project involves a table with laminated edges and faces, and I had previously trimmed the faces with a Rigid trimmer featuring the opposite of dust collection – it spewed dust everywhere.
My OF 1400 with widener and chip catcher arrived in time to trim the top. I attached it to my CT22 with a 36mm hose was very pleased with the dust collection. What you see on the surface of the table is all the dust there was after trimmer 4 sides (30" x 60") and the pile at left fell out when I removed the chip catcher temporarily to trim the edges back to keep it from catching on the excess laminate.
No doubt the MFK700 would have been even better for this task but after much consideration I chose the OF 1400 for use on a wide variety of projects to include use with the LR32 system.
My only regret is not having the OF 1400 sooner, I am still finding laminate dust from trimming the edges.
