The Festool MFS 400 is a versatile multi-routing template designed for precise routing work with routers fitted with a copying ring. It can be adjusted quickly and accurately for different routing tasks, making it ideal for rectangular cut-outs, curved cut-outs, circles, recesses, profiles and repeatable template work. With millimetre-accurate scales, integrated clamping grooves and included angle stops, the MFS 400 helps deliver neat, controlled and professional routing results in workshop, cabinetry, joinery and installation applications.

The adjustable routing template with all the options

The MFS 400 gives users a stable and accurate template system for routing cut-outs and curves. It can be fixed securely to the workpiece using suitable screw clamps or lever clamps, while the included circle routing insert makes it especially useful for safe and controlled circular routing work.

Pro Tips

Always confirm the copying ring and router bit combination before routing the final workpiece.
Make a test cut on scrap material when accuracy is critical, especially for cut-outs that must fit sinks, fittings or inserts.
Clamp the MFS 400 securely before routing to prevent template movement during the cut.
Use shallow passes when routing deeper cut-outs to reduce strain on the router bit and improve finish quality.
Keep the profiles clean so the router and copying ring can move smoothly around the template.

How to Use

Confirm that the router is fitted with a suitable copying ring for use with the MFS 400.
Set the MFS 400 profiles to the required cut-out or routing size using the millimetre scale.
Use the angle stops to align the template accurately with the workpiece.
Secure the template firmly to the workpiece using suitable clamps in the integrated clamping grooves.
Fit the correct router bit for the material and application.
Set the routing depth and make a test pass on scrap material where possible.
Place the router onto the template and keep the copying ring properly guided against the profile edge.
Route steadily around the template, taking multiple passes if the cut is deep.
Allow the router bit to stop completely before lifting the router away from the template.
Remove the clamps and clean the template profiles before storage.
