The only bad experience I’ve ever had with a Festool product was when I was routing on a guide rail with my OF 1400 and the collet and bit came out. Looking at the way that you support the guide rail adapter leads me to believe that I was not adequately supporting the router on to the guide rail. Big D reminds me of myself and most amateurs who go weeks or months between using a tool again. “We are not slow learners. We are quick forgetters.”

I love how simple although deep your explainations are on how to set up the tools correctly (domino, router, track saw). You have a unique way to get rid of the unnecessary info and focus on the pure essence of the tool's function. I discovered your channel recently and I became big fan since then. Keep up the good work.

Just ordered this attachment for my 1400. Had one for my 2200 but found if trimming and edge where you cant use the support foot there was a bit of wobble. Hoping to use my 1400 with the chip catcher to trim the edge of some 20mm solid surface material. Hopefully the lighter 1400 wont wobble . Only other thing i can think of doing is building a support batten away from the edge to rest the support foot on, eliminating any wobble, but still allowing the chip catcher to be used. Thinking out loud 😂

I’m not the only one that thinks that was a miss right? It’s off by several millimeters towards the track side. Mistakes happen, but ignoring it and not explaining why that happened is missing a great opportunity to help people not do that again. Great tool, great instruction, but a huge miss on explaining why it was a failure.

From everything I've heard the 1400 is just having some kind of supply chain issues and they'll be available again in June/July. Most festool dealers will let you put your name down to reserve one. I managed to find one locally on Craigslist a month or two ago. It might have to do with the new rules on routers about the power switch safety, but I'm not sure.

If you look at his other hand it seems like he holds the machine down on the rail so it's in the correct position, then let's the scale slide as far down as it goes before tightening it. Took me a minute to figure out as well bit it's of course the simplest possible solution.

Feels excessively complicated for something like that? If you have any the kind of money for tools like this, then you probably have a pretty good router table that makes this easier. Especially on shorter pieces. Maybe if you’re doing this on really long pieces? I have a $20 baseplate adapter for my Dewalt hand held router which attaches to my Makita track and does a great job and has little to no complexity to setup.

Weird design from the normally brilliant Festool. The Milwaukee guide rail adapter has a much more elegant design. No weird half on half off the rail.
