- Is the OF 1400 EQ good for router table use?
- Yes. Its rigid base plate, fine depth adjustment and stable 4.6 kg body suit table mounting, and the trigger switch can be locked on for table work.
- Does it take both 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch bits?
- Yes. It ships with collets for both sizes and accepts cutters up to 63 mm in diameter, so most common router bits fit.
- How does it compare with a palm router?
- It is far more powerful and precise for deep or wide cuts, but much heavier. A palm router is better for light edge work and one-handed trimming.
- Can I use it with Festool guide rails?
- Yes. It is compatible with the Festool guide system and multi-routing template, which makes it useful for guided grooves and dadoes.
- Does it have soft start and a brake?
- Yes. Soft start limits kick on startup and the quick-acting brake stops the bit fast when you release the trigger.
- What is the fine depth adjustment range?
- The fine adjustment covers about 8 mm, letting you dial in exact depths for joinery after setting the coarse plunge stop.
