Pro Tips

  • Make a test joint in scrap timber before routing finished drawer or cabinet parts.
  • Label the inside, outside, left and right faces of your workpieces before clamping to avoid routing the joint on the wrong side.
  • Use sharp Festool router cutters for cleaner shoulders and crisper dovetail edges.
  • Keep the template and contact surfaces clean so workpieces seat accurately during repeat routing.
  • Once your setup is correct, keep sample offcuts as reference pieces for future repeat work.

How to Use

  • Select the correct Festool template for the joint type you want to produce.
  • Fit the compatible copying ring and router cutter to the Festool router.
  • Install the selected template onto the VS 600 GE base unit.
  • Mark and orientate the workpieces clearly before clamping.
  • Clamp the workpiece securely in the jointing system using the lockable clamp lever.
  • Set the router depth according to the joint type, timber thickness and template instructions.
  • Route the joint carefully, keeping the copying ring properly guided against the template.
  • Fold the template upwards if you need to remove or reposition the workpiece for repeat operations.
  • Test-fit the joint and make fine adjustments if required before routing production pieces.
  • Clean the template, base unit and router area after use before storage.
