Festool 492601 Guide Stop Adapter For OF 1400 And FS Guide Rails

We got this for running dados with our Festool 1400 router. Used it on this liquor display cabinet for a client, and it did great. Kept our dados precise.I’d highly recommend! Easy to setup and use.

I bought this along with the Festool OF 1400 router and couldn't be more pleased. It worked great for milling tenons on the end of a dining room table im building. Highly recommend this accessory

Worked great like most things Festool. A little pricey but I think it paid for itself in one set of cabinet shelves. The usual Festool quality instructions too (that sentence should have the sarcasm font). Festool users will recognize that you either get it when you first see it or from the pictures OR you go to YouTube and find someone who's kindly taken the time to post adequate instructions. After a while you get used to it and realize they do great tools and poor instructions. Perhaps they'll figure that part out soon.

outstanding product! Installation on the router is straight-forward, adjustment and accuracy are excellent. Easy to use with one hand guiding the router and the other keeping slight pressure on the guide knob. First use was making 28" long tenons in the end of a hard maple workbench that I built which was incredibly easy with this guide and the Festool router. Like the other Festool products that i own, this guide is very well engineered and easy to use

The item itself is great - it’s Festool so it’s perfect. But, also because it’s Festool it’s expensive. So I’m a bit frustrated that the item I purchased arrived clearly used. Again, the item will work but paying this much for an item that arrives with scuff marks and dings is frustrating. 5/5 for the item. 0/5 for the seller.

The Festool Guide Stop Adapter is very useful. When used with the OF1400 router and a guide rail, it makes routing dadoes very easy. When used without the guide rail, for trimming laminate edges for example, it helps to stabilize the router because its bottom surface is parallel with the base of the router. You can put one hand on the top of the Guide Stop Adapter and one hand on the router and it makes it more stable. It uses the same rails, included with the router,mthat insert into the base that the edge guide uses.

This is a strange product. It does not come with instructions and references to the instructions are not to be found on the Festool website. After much research I found a reference in a Festool blog. I had also ordered a Festool Router to use with a guide. The instructions that come with the Router are useless. The instructions for this product are part of an expanded Router User Guide written by a third party.Once you download the Router expanded user guide, the instructions for the use of this product are covered. The biggest problem with Festool is lack of product documentation. I have several Festools products and the quality is excellent but overpriced and a consistent lack of user guides. If you are just getting into Festool products expect to spend considerable time finding useful documentation.

By far the cheapest Festool product I have ever purchased and quite possibly my second favorite (nothing will ever beat the domino). So easy to use and the set up takes seconds. You owe it to yourself to buy these if you own an OF 1400.
