That’s one good looking edge guide. I wish they would make one for the 1400. The current fence for the 1400 is the only Festool product I ever returned. I found it really cumbersome to use.
I own 6 routers, and none of them are Festool... the reason is Festool really doesn't work well with a router table, and I don't like how it really only works in one direction and may give kick-back going the other direction. I also like the lever on a plunge router that's a very standard design on other routers.
Their are pros and cons with each tipe a question of choice you will notice both mafell and festool use both tipe festool 2200 suit your equipment but of 1010 and the new mafell is ideal for working on track for shelf pin holes the tipe you have is not ideal but maybe you use yours for other functions
@@riptonedwards9175 I would love to see you use any Festool smaller then the 2200 to create a door panel or anything that requires a large bit... I have a PC D-handle router that would do anything the Festool is designed to do above the table, or simply use one of my compact routers... but there's jobs that require a table, and Festool falls way short of those needs... especially for the price.
It seems to me that a larger bit would be best in the 2200 because you would have greater control. I have not tried the Festool in a table. Personally I was wondering if it would be best for a table considering the design. The ratcheting mechanism for bit changing does not seem like the best solution for a router table. Maybe the discontinued router table has some kind of special feature that brings out the "value" of a 2200. Regardless, If I were to build out a nice router table with a lift I would probably go with the Makita or the old Milwaukee. Both per my research seem to be powerful enough. It would be a lot of money to put a 2200 under a router table to set it and forget it. I also think it would be a pain to remove it all the time to utilize the other accessories that Festool offers so I would go with a separate router for the router table.
I look at the 1400 and then the 2200 and I have my doubts regarding the power of the 1010. I think it would be fine for smaller rabbits on plywood and possibly dados. That is why I purchased them all. A different router for each task.

I understand what you mean. You have to use a screw driver to adjust the fences with it. The 2200 edge guide is similar.

I have not had to privilege of discovering that yet. I appreciate the heads up. I will look out for that issue.
