Extra Information
- The OFK 500 cutter system is designed so compatible cutters share the same external diameter, helping reduce routing errors and tipping near corners.
- The 27 mm dust extraction connection can be used with a suitable Festool dust extractor to help keep the working area cleaner.
- The R2 version is suited to small radius rounding work where a neat, subtle edge finish is required.
- The compact size and low weight make the tool especially useful for detail edging and vertical workpieces.
Pro Tips
- Make a test cut on scrap material before routing the final workpiece to confirm the depth and profile.
- Use dust extraction whenever possible to improve visibility and reduce dust build-up around the cutter.
- Move the router steadily and avoid forcing the tool; a smooth feed rate gives a cleaner edge.
- Keep the base runner clean to avoid marking the workpiece surface.
- Inspect the cutter before use and replace dull or damaged cutters to maintain a clean finish.
How to Use
- Select and fit the correct OFK 500 cutter for the required edge profile.
- Use the spindle stop to secure the cutter correctly before operation.
- Adjust the routing depth using the fine adjustment system.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27 mm extraction connection if required.
- Place the base runner flat and stable on the workpiece edge.
- Start the machine and allow it to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
- Guide the router smoothly along the edge with steady, controlled movement.
- Switch the machine off and wait for the cutter to stop fully before lifting it away from the workpiece.
- Clean the base, cutter area and extraction attachment after use.
