Festool Junkie Blog

The Festool MFK700 will soon become a go-to router around any woodworker / fabricators shop. The light weight trim router weighs in at just 4.2 lbs and has a power comsumption of 700 Watts. The specs on this little guy are perfect if you are looking for a Festool Trim Router. With the capability of running 1/4″ shanks or 8mm shank bits and a maximum bit diameter of 1″ you can dial in to any job that requires meticulous trimming.

This video from Festool shows the router going through several applications. Notice how the router can be oriented in a vertical position or in the horizontal position. With the 1.5 degree off-set base, your bit will never touch the horizontal surface of the articulating board. In other words…who needs bearings right.

We are excited for this router in many ways. As in the video, plowing out a dado along the edge of a curve is just plain kewl. Furthermore, in the horizontal position, we are excited about the sensor bearing; talk about comfort in knowing that your set-up is going to be quick, and your cut is going to be precise.

FJ still has several for distribution on the first of May. Give us a shout, or shop for the MFK 700 by clicking >>>Buy The Festool MFK 700<<<
