Festool FP-LR 32 Guide Plate

At a Glance: Guide plate for the Festool FS-LR 32 hole drilling system, used with compatible Festool routers to produce precise 32mm hole series for shelf supports, rear wall supports and furniture fittings.

The Festool FP-LR 32 guide plate is a key component in the Festool LR 32 hole drilling system, designed for fast, accurate and repeatable drilling of cabinet hole rows. When used together with the Festool LR 32 guide rail and a compatible Festool router, it helps create perfectly spaced 32mm series holes for shelves, cabinet fittings, rear wall supports and hinge drilling applications.

This guide plate is ideal for professional cabinet makers, shopfitters, installers and furniture manufacturers who need a clean, systematic way to produce precise rows of holes. The FP-LR 32 features a spring-loaded positioning rocker for efficient step-by-step drilling along the hole series guide rail, while fine adjustment of the guide play helps keep the router running accurately and smoothly. The supplied centring mandrel assists with perfect centring of the router on the guide plate, making setup cleaner, quicker and more reliable.

Precision Festool guide plate for 32mm furniture hole systems

The FP-LR 32 forms part of Festool’s proven LR 32 system, which is designed around the common 32mm cabinet construction standard. It allows compatible routers to follow the LR 32 guide rail accurately, helping users create professional hole rows for adjustable shelving and fittings with excellent repeatability.

Extra Information

The FP-LR 32 is designed for use with Festool routers in the FS-LR 32 hole drilling system.
Compatible routers include Festool OF 900, OF 1000, OF 1010 and OF 1400.
The LR 32 system uses 32mm hole spacing, commonly used in cabinet and furniture construction.
The guide plate is used together with an LR 32 hole line guide rail such as FS 1400/2-LR 32 or FS 2424/2-LR 32.
The guide plate can be useful as an additional plate when preparing a second router with a different drill or cutter setup.
Hole diameter depends on the selected router bit or drill used with the system.

Pro Tips

Use the centring mandrel during setup to ensure the router is accurately aligned to the guide plate before drilling.
Always check the guide rail position and edge reference before starting a row of holes.
For repetitive cabinet panels, make a test row on scrap material first to confirm spacing, edge distance and depth.
Keep the guide rail and guide plate clean so dust does not affect smooth movement or accuracy.
Use sharp, suitable drill bits or router cutters for clean holes and reduced tear-out.
Clamp the guide rail securely to prevent movement during hole series drilling.

How to Use

Fit the FP-LR 32 guide plate to the compatible Festool router according to the router and accessory instructions.
Use the centring mandrel to centre the router accurately on the guide plate.
Fit the correct drill bit or router cutter for the required hole diameter and material.
Position the LR 32 guide rail on the workpiece and align it to the required edge distance.
Clamp the guide rail securely so it cannot move during drilling.
Place the router and guide plate assembly onto the LR 32 guide rail.
Use the spring-loaded positioning rocker to index the router from hole to hole.
Drill each hole to the required depth, keeping the router stable and controlled.
Complete the row of holes, then check the first panel before repeating the setup on further workpieces.
