The Festool OFK 500 Q-Plus R3 Edge Router delivers accurate edge finishing for professional carpenters, joiners and furniture manufacturers. Its compact design makes it ideal for rounding, chamfering and flush-trimming timber, veneers and edge banding.
The 450 W motor operates at a no-load speed of 28,000 rpm. Consequently, users can achieve clean, consistent results when working with compatible Festool cutters.
A key advantage is the router’s dedicated cutter system. Compatible cutters share a matching external diameter, allowing Festool to minimise the opening in the base. This improves stability and helps prevent tipping when routing corners.
The cutter mounts directly onto the spindle for accurate running. Furthermore, the spindle stop simplifies cutter changes and reduces setup time.
Fine depth adjustment allows users to set the cutting height in 0.1 mm increments. Meanwhile, the hard-fibre base runner glides smoothly across workpieces and helps prevent surface scratches.
The transparent dust extraction attachment provides a clear view of the cutting area. It also incorporates a ball-bearing brake to help prevent unwanted marks on sensitive surfaces.
At just 1.4 kg without accessories, the router offers excellent handling for horizontal and vertical applications. In addition, its balanced centre of gravity supports precise control during detailed work.
The 27 mm dust extraction connection allows users to connect a compatible mobile dust extractor. The detachable Plug-it cable also simplifies transport and equipment changes.
Supplied with an R3 roundover cutter, the Festool OFK 500 Q-Plus R3 provides a practical solution for accurate, repeatable edge finishing.
