Well engineered, but overkill for small jobs
The MFK 700 has a fence and depth controls that tested out so precisely they almost made the other machines look like toys. This router comes with a traditional vertical base as well as a horizontal base, both of which can be changed without tools and are compatible with Festool’s dust-collection system. This model was bigger and heavier than the others, almost demanding a two-handed grip. And although the depth could be set with an accuracy of 1⁄10 mm, the fully enclosed bit had no rough adjustment and only a 1⁄2-in. height-adjustment range (compared to the 1 in. or more found on the other trim routers).
