Nice! I had no idea festool made a new edge guide for the 1010. $69usd is a very fair price. And yeah, I'd love to see that clear plastic shroud in the US; I'd get a lot of use out of that.
I have the light module for the 1010 and I think that is why they have the clear plastic shroud, as you can't use the light module with the chip deflector. Kind of odd, since Festool usually thinks of things like that. The other niggle I have is that the new edge guide didn't fit snugly in the systainer.
So I have the 700 and that comes with its own edge guide (or maybe i bought it cant remember which. I also just bought the 1010 req f+ plus mostly for it track capabilities and yes festools track adapter works on Makita tracks. My question is, do I really need the new edge guide for my 1010 which also works on the 700? Granted the new edge adapter is much nicer than the one that comes with the 700.
That’s great that you have both - how do you like the 700? I’d wait until you have the need to use an edge guide and then pick this one up. While I don’t own the 700, if I did and needed to do something that would need an edge guide I’d probably just use the 1010 and this edge guide. The cross-compatibility is nice, but I can’t see too many folks switching between the two configurations although I’m happy to be wrong in that regard.
This one is for the OF 1010, MFK 700 and a few older routers of that size. There’s a different edge guide for the OF 1400, which is pretty good and has a great dust extraction hood although it is a good amount more money than this one.

It wasn’t launched with too much fanfare as the new light seemed to take most of the attention.
I wish they would let us exchange the cheap fence/micro adjuster combo we were stuck with until this was released.
Ha, no kidding! The price on that thing with micro was wild and it should have always included the micro adjuster part.

Interesting and that is curious about the deflector. How do you like the light? I don’t think it’s available on its own in North America yet.
@@MasonWoodshop It's one of those things that once you use it, you wonder how you managed without. Very useful to have better visibility for setup.
Right on! I’ll have to grab one when they become available here.

The OF 1400?
