Festool OF 1400 EBQ-Plus 1400W Router
At a Glance:Powerful and exceptionally versatile 1,400 W professional plunge router with a 70 mm routing stroke, precise 0.1 mm depth adjustment, 10,000 – 22,500 min⁻¹ variable speed, integrated LED light ring and class-leading Festool system compatibility.
The Festool OF 1400 EBQ-Plus combines serious routing power with the precision, control and thoughtful engineering expected from Festool. With its powerful 1,400 W motor, generous 70 mm routing stroke and remarkably manageable 4.6 kg machine weight, this professional router is beautifully balanced for everything from edge profiling and rebating to deep recesses, template routing, grooves and fitting installation. Both guide columns are clamped simultaneously, creating a torsion-resistant plunge mechanism that keeps the router stable and accurate throughout the cut. Routing depth can be finely adjusted to an impressive 0.1 mm, while MMC Multi Material Control electronics maintain controlled speed and allow the machine to be matched precisely to different cutter diameters and materials. This latest OF 1400 EBQ-Plus configuration also includes the LM-OF 1400 extraction bonnet with integrated LED light ring, giving a bright, shadow-free view directly around the cutter. Add the quick spindle-stop ratchet system, tool-free copying-ring changes, efficient CLEANTEC dust extraction and comprehensive Festool accessory system, and the OF 1400 becomes an outstanding all-round router for demanding professional woodworking, joinery, fitting and installation work.
The OF 1400 sits beautifully between compact routers and Festool’s heavier-duty routing machines. Its 1,400 W motor provides ample power for demanding cuts, while the relatively low machine weight and ergonomic bar handle keep it comfortable and controllable. A full 70 mm plunge stroke gives the machine excellent versatility for deep routing and template work, while Festool’s dual-column clamping keeps the router rigid when the selected depth is locked. The result is a machine equally at home in a fine furniture workshop, cabinetmaking environment or professional installation site.
