OF1010 Guide bush

[Lbob131]

Does festool  make a 16mm  OD  guide bush  for the OF 1010?
I've looked  on Axminster  UK  and  only  4 other sizes.

My dovetail  jig  is 16mm.
Thank You.

I don't think so, but get the Axminster guide bush set:http://www.axminster.co.uk/ujk-technology-metric-threaded-guidebush-set-502571

And the Leigh adapter:http://www.axminster.co.uk/leigh-adaptors-for-threaded-guide-bushes-ax20346

I  have fitted the Trend  universal sub base  to my OF1010. I removed  the two screws  holding on the ring  and  was able to use    two slightly longer ones  which  have a countersunk  head  and the base aligned perfectly.

Hopefully yours is flatter than my Trend sub-base, which is unusable.  It's cheap plastic with sink marks all over it.  I now use one of the Axminster aluminium ones, with a low-friction coating on it.

I must be unlucky, but everything of Trend's I've ever bought has been a disappointment.  The worst was their T Square:http://www.trend-uk.com/en/UK/product/RTS_1000/3/194/router_t_square_1000mm_.html

I was looking forward to a nice large accurate square, but it came in two pieces with the instruction to screw them together square!

I've had a number of their cutters too, and I would put them in the bottom class for quality.  What I don't understand is why people think their stuff is acceptable.

Festool has a 17 mm one:https://www.festool.com/Products/Ac...me=OF-900-OF-1010-copying-rings-KR-D17-OF-900
I don't think half a mil really matters…

CORRECTION: Sorry, misread about the jig being 16 mm.

I absolutely agree with [member=6802]Roseland[/member] and I use this setup a lot.

My trend  base  is  flat  and true.
I  can't  fault their  router bits. I recently purchased a  set of their Rota tip  replaceable twin  blade  reversible  bearing guided  50mm  deep  profilers  and it makes  the standard    ones  look shabby.

Instead  of the cutting  edge  being  90 degrees  to the surface  the blade  enters the cut  like a low angle  hand plane.
So  no dust generated. Just  shavings  and a very clean  surface  left behind.
