OF2200 Insert in a SYS3 M337?

[onocoffee]

On two occasions, Festool USA has told me that Germany is no longer shipping tool inserts to the USA. So, if anyone has an OF2200 In a SYS3 M337, would you mind snapping a pic of the insert? It looks like I will have to make my own and it’s too big to stand vertically unless I go to an M437.

Thanks!

Would it not fit on it's side at an angle same as the larger systainer it comes in?

There's a lot of foam packing around it in the large unit.

I tried that and it does fit. Mainly looking to see how they supported it so I can Kaizen Foam that sucker!

I have to say out of all the tools in systainers, the OF2200 is the only one I hate taking out/putting back in. The right handle is at the low point at the rear, with the left handle angled up at the front, and you have to try and be careful with the lead everytime.

Hmmm, maybe it will be better to sit it vertically in an M437. It's just so darn tall!

or … stand it up on a shelf, and throw a pretty pillowcase over it.

Just had a look and it's more bulky than I thought, fills the case pretty well. If I was making a case from scratch, I'd be looking at something a little taller so it could stand fully upright as you mentioned, would make if far easier to manage.

Trying to handle the lead while maneuvering the router one handed to position it is a pain. Not real well designed in my view.

@luvmytoolz I see what you mean. There's no place for accessories. And what's the point if you can't accessorize!

The accessories all fit underneath and alongside the router, the fitment for them isn't bad actually, it's just the router placement I think sucks.

Isn't the OF2200 one of the ones that has an accessory set, in its own Systainer?

Yeah, if the routers standing up I think you could probably consolidate that set as well as the router and standard accessories into the one systainer. Would be a tight fit though.

My special brand of OCD/weird doesn't like anything "extra" in the Systainers, but anything that doesn't come with the tool, does need to be there. It has always bugged me that some of the attachments/accessories, that have specific locations on the insert, are not supplied.
I was especially glad to see the OF1010 get its own accessory set. It still doesn't include the angle adapter though.

I just recently got the OF 1010 router. A buddy printed the oval-to-circle adapter for the dust port.

What is the Angle Adapter? ( just curious, not a case of gotta have ‘em )

It is an arm that bolts to the side of the base, where the support foot mounts. It allows the OF1010 to work horizontally, with a reference face for flush trimming, similar to the MFK700.
It is not nearly as simple or intuitive, but it does substitute well, for a guy who doesn't have both.
Though I highly recommend MFK700, they are fairly specialized. Not for everybody, invaluable to some.

Thank you for taking time to pull it out and take a photo. I understand much better now.

It must be the set shown by Sedge: a trio of the Edging Plate, the Angle Arm, and the Deflector.
