With 2200 Watts of power, you might think it's a portable shaper. The Festool OF 2200 EB Router Imperial can easily plunge into 8/4 hard maple and make a 1/2" groove in a single pass. It's capable of handling everything from softwoods to solid surface materials. Designed for exceptional maneuverability, the OF 2200 incorporates many ergonomic features, making it easy to control, and a pleasure to use. It has a 30 degree offset base for improved guidance, angled handles for a more natural grip, and fingertip controls for the power, plunge locking, and speed settings, and a ratcheting spindle lock for one wrench bit changes. Everything is designed for ease of use and intuitive operation. One of the core features of the OF 2200 is it's quick-change, tool-less, set of Interchangeable Bases (sold separately). This lever actuated system allows you to make base plate changes fast when you need to switch to another application. Template guide bushings for the router are self-centering and don't require additional tools to install. The router also features a 4 position depth stop that has two fixed positions, 2 adjustable positions, and a special finishing pass position, for repeatable and consistent stepped cuts. The double column clamping mechanism locks plunge depths securely. The trigger actuated, spring-loaded, retractable dust shroud maximizes dust collection while maintaining full visibility. Simply press the shroud release button and the shroud drops into place. Combine the router with the OF 2200 Base Accessory Kit, Guide Rail System, a Dust Extractor, or any of the full complement of accessories, and you will find yourself enjoying even the most tedious of tasks.
