Festool MFS 700 Multi-Routing Template

At a Glance: Adjustable multi-routing template for rectangular cut-outs up to 600 x 300 mm and curved cut-outs up to Ø 1200 mm

The Festool MFS 700 is a professional multi-routing template designed for precise, repeatable routing work with routers fitted with copying rings. Built for flexibility, accuracy and clean control, this routing template can be adjusted quickly to suit different cut-out sizes and routing applications. It is ideal for creating rectangular openings, curved cut-outs, circular routing work and accurate recesses in timber, boards and worktops. With millimetre-accurate scales, angle stops, integrated clamping options and circle-routing capability, the MFS 700 is a brilliant workshop companion for users who want clean layout control and reliable routing accuracy.

The adjustable routing template with serious workshop flexibility

The MFS 700 is not just a simple guide frame. It is a modular routing template system that can be set up for straight, square, rectangular and curved routing tasks. It helps keep the router guided, the workpiece controlled and the cut-out accurate, especially when working with repeated openings or precision-fitting tasks.

Product highlights

Precision scale: The profiles include millimetre-accurate scales for setting out cut-outs and curves with confidence.
Adjustable frame system: The template can be adapted quickly for different rectangular and curved routing applications.
Secure fixing: Integrated grooves allow the template to be secured to the workpiece using suitable screw and lever clamps.
Angle stops included: Helps align the template accurately with the workpiece or shift it parallel where required.
Circle routing insert: Enables safer and more controlled circular routing work.
System extension option: Can be extended with compatible Festool table extensions from 200 mm to 2000 mm.

Extra Information

The MFS 700 is intended for use with routers fitted with copying rings.
The template supports rectangular cut-outs up to 600 x 300 mm.
Curved cut-outs can be routed up to a maximum of Ø 1200 mm.
The technical curve range is listed as 40.00 - 600.00 mm.
The tilt protection can be used with copying rings of 24 mm, 27 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm diameter.
When calculating the actual template setting, allow for the difference between the copying ring diameter and the cutter diameter.

Pro Tips

Always test your setup on scrap material before routing the final workpiece, especially when working with visible panels or expensive boards.
Remember to compensate for the copying ring and cutter diameter when setting the actual routing dimension.
Secure the template firmly before routing. A moving template can ruin the cut and damage the workpiece.
Use shallow passes rather than trying to remove too much material in one go. Your router, cutter and workpiece will thank you.
For circle routing, mark and drill the centre point accurately before fitting the centring mandrel.

How to Use

Assemble the template profiles by sliding the slot nut of one profile into the side groove of the matching profile.
Make sure the scales face inward before tightening the side screws.
Assemble the two L-shaped profile sections into the complete template frame and secure them with the side screws.
For rectangular cut-outs, loosen the screws, adjust the profiles to the required dimensions and retighten the screws.
Allow for the copying ring and cutter difference when calculating the actual cutting size.
Fit the angle stops into the lower grooves when the template needs to be aligned or moved parallel on the workpiece.
Secure the routing template firmly to the workpiece using suitable clamps in the clamping grooves.
For circle routing, fit the circle routing insert into the inner groove and set the required radius.
Drill an 8 mm hole at the centre point of the circle and insert the centring mandrel.
Use the router with the correct copying ring and cutter combination, then route in controlled passes.

Features

For routers with copying rings: Designed for guided routing when used with a compatible copying ring setup.
Millimetre scale on the profiles: Allows accurate adjustment when setting up cut-outs and curves.
Angle stops: Helps align the template exactly to the workpiece or move it in a parallel manner.
Integrated clamping grooves: Allows quick template fixing to the workpiece with suitable clamps.
Circle routing insert: Supports controlled circle routing for larger curved cut-outs.
Tilt protection: Helps compensate for height differences when routing larger surface areas, supporting steadier router guidance.
Modular profile construction: Profiles can be assembled and adjusted to suit the routing task.

Benefits

More accurate routing: The adjustable scale system helps reduce guesswork when setting out openings and cut-outs.
Cleaner repeat work: Useful for applications where multiple similar cut-outs need to be made accurately.
Improved control: The router follows the template, helping the user achieve smoother and more consistent results.
Versatile workshop use: Suitable for rectangular cut-outs, curved work and circle routing applications.
Faster setup: Angle stops and clamping grooves make alignment and fixing easier on the workpiece.
Safer guided routing: A properly secured template improves control and reduces freehand routing risk.

Application

Routing rectangular cut-outs in timber, panels and boards
Routing curved cut-outs and circular shapes
Creating recesses, openings and guided router work
Template routing with routers using copying rings
Aligning and repeating accurate routing setups
Workshop and site joinery applications
Furniture, cabinetmaking and installation work

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing, especially when working with timber, board products or coated materials.
Read the router operating manual and safety instructions before use.
Make sure the routing template is securely fixed to the workpiece before starting the router.
Use the correct copying ring and router cutter combination for the application.
Check that the cutter does not contact the template before starting the routing pass.
Keep hands clear of the cutter path and never adjust the template while the router is running.
Route in controlled passes and avoid forcing the router through the material.
Use only original Festool spare parts and compatible accessories where required.
