- Is the OF 1400 suitable for router table use?
- It can be table-mounted, but it is designed as a plunge router. Many owners keep it for freehand, template and guide-rail work and use a fixed-base router in the table.
- What bit sizes does it accept?
- It takes both 1/4" and 1/2" collets, and the maximum cutter diameter is 2-1/2" (63 mm).
- Does it work with Festool guide rails?
- Yes. It is compatible with the Festool guide system and the multi-routing template, which is a main reason buyers choose it.
- How does it compare with a trim router?
- It is much heavier and more powerful, with true plunge depth control. A trim router is better for edges and one-handed work; the OF 1400 is better for mortises, grooves and template routing.
- Does it have soft start and a brake?
- Yes. Soft start limits kick on startup and a quick-acting brake stops the bit fast when you release the trigger.
- What is included with the router?
- The EQ-F-Plus set typically includes the router, a copying ring and standard accessories; check the specific kit for the exact contents and case.
