WTB: Plug it cables

[Programmergeek]

If anyone has the female end (tool end retor fit cord) for sale let me know.

I've noticed that there are at least two connector patterns, presumably to match wattage with the right cable.  For example, I cannot use the cord for my OF1400 router with my ET 150 sander.

Odd that your OF1400 cord doesn't work on your sander....direct quote from the Festool USA FAQ database:


Question:
Are the Festool plug-it cords interchangeable?
 
Answer:
There are two types of plug-it cords.

The lighter 18 gauge plug-it cord works with most of the sanders but will not work with the saw, router or planer. It has a keyway which prevents it from being used with these tools.

The heavier 16 gauge plug-it cord that comes with the saws and routers will fit all of the tools. If the plug-it cord fits, it is safe to use. Do not attempt to modify a plug-it cord to make it fit.


16 gauge cords are normally used on a boom arm so it fits all the plug-it compatible tools.

Could be your 1400 shipped with the wrong cord.  There should be a 16 gauge with the OF1400 and an 18 gauge with the RO 150.

You're right, Jim.  I got it backwards.
