Is there a router table that works with this?

Copy ring wag at a joke, they are always loose.
Moves a very small amount and ruins your work.

Overpriced garbage! 😳🙄😂

Festool makes some great tools, and fall under the “Buy Once, Cry Once” philosophy!

I don't own one of these, and my old P/C and Bosch routers still going strong. Great review Brad. Those presets look nice! Track feature looks sweet. Well thought out. Nice router for sure.

Hope you and Mrs Brad are doing well. Best 👍✌😊

But...the most expensive, like anything else of Festool! are their astronomical prices really justifiable?!..mhhh not sure.

I bought the OF 1400 a year ago. One of the things I noticed was that there is no adjustment to align the center of the base with the collet. I have a centering mandrel for my porter cable 890 to center it so no matter how the orientation of the router changes, the bit still cuts the same distance away from the guide bushing. Festool has NO adjustment for this and mine is off center by about 1/64". Otherwise it's a great router. I just wish Festool would pull their heads out of their asses and engineer an adjustment for this.

Don't waste your money . Festool is overpriced, overrated and underpowered. I have the OF 1010, the parallel guide sucks. I find myself reaching for my Bosch Colt 10 times more than my Festool. The worst is the MFT table. Buy a Parf Jig make your own MFT.
