#Festool #OF1400Router #ToolOverview
Thank you for your very helpful and fun videos, Sedge. I've been working with wood for 60 years, and I have learned a lot from you. Because of your clear explanations and demonstrations, I decided to purchase my first Festool dust extractor and sander in February. I like them so much that I am busily adding other Festool tools to my shop - my 1400 is on its way today!
I've had the 1400 for years, but this video was really helpful in showing some of the features I wasn't clear about. Thanks again!
Thanks for all the awesome teachings, sedge!
Awesome video with the most important information for the OF 1400! Thank you! Kind regards from Germany, from a Festool Fanboy 😊
I ordered the HKC Plus FSK, all because of Brian SedgeTool here. My order won't ship until like 1/24, so I don't have it yet.
Brian, as I'm sure you know, is Priceless to Festool USA! I wouldn't formerly have considered Festool products before, and I really can't afford these tools, but I've started anyway! 🐶🐶🐶
I just purchased this router, and am looking forward to all I can achieve with it. A big thank you to you and your crew for producing these extremely helpful videos.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I really enjoy these and always learn something useful. I think an episode on the WCR1000 work center would be great. Not a tool per se but I recently used one during your cabinetry class with Gregory Paolini and it made the workflow so efficient.
Great video, I just bought the OF1400 and you gave a lot of great info, the one thing that I found troubling was that knife on your utility belt with the edge sticking up
That’s not the blade. It’s an Olfa knife that has a metal prying tool on the end. Good for opening a paint can.
Hi Steve from Leeds UK
I have been waiting for this video, thank you Sedge as always great information.
No guys, Malta is not part of Italy. Just neighbors. Hi, from Malta and local Festool fans :)
Great video on explaining the OF 1400. Just more reasons to purchase one to replace my inadequate 690…..
Of1400 my first festool love ! I remember trying to turn the nut above the collet 😅…now I know what’s it’s for after 3 years !
Great great great great video!Do you know there’s will be an upgrade of this machine like OF 1010?Best wish from Italy
For over a year I thought I had purchased an OF 1010 when I did a large purchase of Festools to setup my shop. Then I Took the router out of the Systainer and behold I have a OF 1400.. Getting ready to start template routing with the 1400 I purchased so many accessories that I forget to use them all . All my Festools came with metric markings. I wish that the template guides came in a kit. But for now I have the PC adaptor with all my PC template guides being used. Thanks for the demo of the dust extraction for the Router. I was wondering what to do with the chip collector.
Good tip about the dust extractor with a profile bit. But it's tricky even then, you have to fiddle with the extractor to get it to sit in the tabs and be level to lock it. Still, it does work quite well once installed. An area for improvement, though.
How would you recommend I cut a groove down the center of several 30" boards? When just using a guide rail I find it easy to be off a mm or two. Parallel guides?? Thanks. Also, thanks for videos - really helps. (forgot at first that dust collector clear plastic piece opens to attach with a bit :))
also a tip, at 26:55 the chip collector is double duty, that as well as a bit safety guard, like on a 4" angle grinder, to save your fingers contacting the exposed part of the bit.
Great router and I love it. Not a dig, but there seems not to be a way to maintain control of the trigger and the lock knob with the parallel guide. In your case, you palmed the top and grabbed the guide knob - trigger locked and unattended and lock down knob not usable. I even posted a video on this. Takes a little while for a conventional router user to adjust. Still the best router I own.
You do realize you took your left hand (“which never leaves”) off the router at 20:34 while it was still spinning 😉
does the parallel guide on the OF 1400 have a chip deflector you can slide on to? My OF 1400 came with a clear plastic part in the case which i have no idea what it was but the only place it fits is on the underside of the parallel guide. i asked Festool UK and they could not tell me what it was
When are they going to add a LED light to the OF 1400 router???? Thanks for your videos.
Probably never! Unfortunately!!! I am from Germany and I talked to the product manager of routers why the new 1010 has no LEDs.
Answer: this is very complicated to build in because of 2 different voltages (12V/220V)! NO JOKE!!!! You can imagine what I have told him......
@@StripLV I have a shop full of LED ceiling lights that runs on a 110V circuit.
@@garybadger325 and? What does this have to do with LEDs in the Festool routers?
@@StripLV My router is connected to 110V circuit same as the LED lights, so why are there 2 different voltages?
24 hour clock avoids all the AM/PM confusion. And OF1400 sounds better than OF 2:00 PM. Either way, great router. Just picked up the 10:00PM but not used it yet.
is there no way to center the guide bushing adapter with the festool centering mandrel 492187? it's not always dead center given the way the bushing adapter is attached.
It appears that your ‘dead on centre line’ is 1mm out on the width of the slot. I guess that’s live stream therefore less focus on the engraved line
Colorado Springs. Bob
Why is it off by like one or two millimeters?
always love the tips and tricks you give us Sedge, yes my dewalt router has center lines on three sides
The cut was not dead-on. It was off center by a bout 1/32". Also, I've found my OF1400 collect cannot be centered to the bas using an alignment mandrel. The base is not movable so there is no adjustment there. WTF Festool???
You was a miss at the IWF show in Atlanta.
Hi, I love your training. I did however want to point out that MicroFence a company based out of California does offer a router base with a centering line. You indicated that Festool was the only router that came with a centerline, that may be true but if you want sophisticated routering capabilities the Microfence System offers it all.
Looks like the 36 mm house will fall off. Something to work on Festool.
Only... if we could find one to buy.
I called 10 different dealers and looked everywhere online, apparently they're only going to be back in stock in June/July, it's ridiculous!
@@bladee_enjoyer540 I just picked up one at my local Woodcrafts in Grand Rapids yesterday and they still had one left.
I was very interested in buying a Festool router. However, I discovered a significant issue when using the router with a bushing. I was disappointed to find this problem because the machine is fantastic, but unfortunately, it's not useful for me. 😭😭😭
PS: folks, the statement about using the router on the rail at 6:30 is obviously an apprentice prank!, as all you would cut with the router bit, is the rail itself....DUH
Malta is a totally independent country ;) just an FYI
I remember the mask scam... LOL
Great router. Use it daily
There is no such thing as 12:00 am or 12:00 pm. It's either 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight.
Er. Malta is definitely NOT part of Italy. It’s an ex British colony and now a self ruling republic.
