ready2rout and festool router

[john molloy]

does anyone know if a festooll router can fit in a ready2rout router table? .how does this table compare to festoo own table?

I didn't realize they made a full table setup, as opposed to just the fence.  So you're talking about this package, which includes the lift? http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=158

I can't give a definitive answer, but I have yet to hear of a router table system or lift that Festool routers are compatible with other than the CMS.  The odd shape of the router means it can't fit in a lift.  You could in theory rig it up to an insert plate by drilling the mounting holes yourself, but you would not then have above the table adjustment or bit changing.

Festool fit anything else other than festool products?

You must be joking!

Does seem odd.

I guess that table manufacturers need to step up to the plate and design their mounting to adapt to Festool routers if they want to sell to those who have Festool routers.
