Which accessories should I get with the OF 1400"

[wow]

My choices are (everything I could find available):

Edge Guide - Includes Dust Hood  492636
Guide Stop                                   492601
Router Support                           438608
Guide Stop Fine Adjustment   488754
OF 1400 Table Widener           493233

The OF1400 will become my Primary Router. Are there any items listed above that you think I *shouldn't* buy, or don't/won't need?

You're getting the edge guide to have as a second edge guide? (I did, I think it's a much better approach than that silly perspex contraption!

I grabbed a 483922 circle cutting attachment ... I got it to use with my 1010, but I'm certain it's compatible with the 1400 - I just haven't tried (so obviously, check first).

Unless the packaging has changed, the edge guide and chip catcher is included with the router.  I have the guide stop and router support but rarely use them.  So far, I have found the base more than adequate to the task and never felt the need for the table widener.  I would suggest using the router a while and then decide if you need these items or not. 

If you do cabinets, the LR-32 hole drilling system would be handy.

Maybe a dealer can confirm if the edge guide still does come with the unit.  It used to but for some reason I believe it no longer does.

In your list - 488754 is not necessary.  That is designed for the 1010.  The Guide rail adaptor for the 1400 has built in fine adjustment.  *Note:  Paul Marcel did illustrate a use for this accessory I believe in his video about the Bridge City KM-1.

If the reason you are considering the 493233 is just for the wider table - not the larger hole in the base - then you can accomplish the outboard support with the 492601.

The edge guide didn't come with my 1400.  I went and picked one up last week though  [big grin]

I just bought the 1400 and there was no edge guide. There were the two rods (which Im not sure are of any use). THE INCLUDED BOOK SHOWS THE EDGEGUIDE

Not an "accessory" maybe.. But have you considered the MFS? I make a lot of MDF jigs for my projects. The MFS is invaluable for this. It's pricey, though..

Here is something I learned from experience, and this may or may not apply here. Buy the main tool, use it a couple of times then sit down and figure out what you really need. I used to try to buy everything I needed when I placed the order only to learn that some things I thought I must have turned out to be either duplicates of what came with the machine or I really did not need them as much as I thought and they end up taking up space and collecting dust.

Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but I would suggest you buy the router then use it to make something and discover what your really want/need. After all it is not like you get a break on shipping cost or the price is better when you bundle the tool and the accessories
