Festool SA-OF 2200 Parallel Side Fence for OF 2200 Router

At a Glance: Precision parallel side fence with fine adjustment and extraction hood for controlled routing along a workpiece edge.

The Festool SA-OF 2200 Parallel Side Fence is a precision routing accessory developed specifically for the Festool OF 2200 router. It enables the router to follow the edge of a workpiece accurately, making it easier to produce straight grooves, rebates, channels and profile cuts at a consistent distance from the edge.

The side fence attaches securely to the router using two guide rods and provides stable support throughout the routing operation. Its integrated fine adjustment mechanism allows the routing position to be corrected precisely after the initial setup, helping users achieve accurate dimensions without repeatedly repositioning the entire fence assembly.

An additional extraction hood is included to improve dust collection directly beneath the side fence. This allows a suitable extraction hose to be connected close to the cutting area, helping to keep the workpiece, router and surrounding workspace cleaner during routing.

Precision-guided routing parallel to an edge

The SA-OF 2200 transforms the Festool OF 2200 into a highly controlled edge-guided routing system. Its robust construction, accurate fine adjustment and integrated dust-extraction provision make it particularly valuable for professional joinery, cabinetry, furniture production and installation work where consistent routing distances are essential.

Product Highlights

Accurate parallel routing: Guides the OF 2200 router at a consistent distance from the edge of the workpiece.
Fine adjustment: Allows precise readjustment of the routing position after the initial fence setting.
Stable two-rod mounting: Attaches securely to the router using two guide rods for dependable guidance.
Integrated extraction hood: Provides a connection point beneath the side fence for improved dust extraction.
Professional routing control: Ideal for repeatable grooves, rebates, channels and edge-parallel routing applications.
Designed for the OF 2200: Engineered specifically for accurate compatibility with the Festool OF 2200 router.

Extra Information

The SA-OF 2200 is intended for use with the Festool OF 2200 router.
The side fence is supplied with fine adjustment and an extraction hood.
The required ST-OF 2200/2 guide rods are not included with this product.
Two compatible guide rods are required to attach the fence to the router.
Always confirm that the fence is securely clamped before starting the router.
The workpiece edge used as the guide reference must be straight and free from damage for the most accurate results.
Routing accuracy will also depend on the router bit condition, workpiece stability and correct setup of the OF 2200.

Pro Tips

Make the initial fence setting slightly wider than the required measurement and use the fine adjustment to move into the exact final position.
Test the setup on an offcut of the same material before routing the finished workpiece.
Measure from the cutting edge of the router bit rather than from the router base when determining the required fence position.
Keep the fence face in firm, even contact with the workpiece edge throughout the routing operation.
Use multiple shallow passes instead of one deep cut when routing wide or deep grooves.
Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor to the extraction hood for improved chip removal and visibility.
Ensure the reference edge is straight, as any irregularities will be transferred to the routed cut.

How to Use

Disconnect the Festool OF 2200 router from the electrical supply before fitting or adjusting the parallel side fence.
Insert the compatible ST-OF 2200/2 guide rods into the mounting points on the router.
Slide the SA-OF 2200 parallel side fence onto the guide rods.
Adjust the fence to approximately the required distance from the installed router bit.
Tighten the main clamping points sufficiently to hold the fence securely.
Use the fine adjustment mechanism to set the exact routing distance.
Connect a suitable dust-extraction hose to the extraction hood where required.
Secure the workpiece and confirm that the guiding edge is straight and unobstructed.
Place the fence firmly against the workpiece edge before starting the router.
Allow the router to reach full operating speed and guide it steadily along the edge without forcing the cut.
Maintain even contact between the fence and workpiece until the router bit has completely cleared the material.
Switch off the router and allow the bit to stop completely before lifting or repositioning the tool.

Features

Parallel side-fence design: Uses the workpiece edge as a reference for straight and consistent router guidance.
Precision fine adjustment: Enables small corrections to the fence position for accurate routing dimensions.
Dual guide-rod mounting: Provides a rigid and stable connection between the fence and router.
Extraction hood included: Helps capture dust and chips near the router bit during edge-guided routing.
Hose connection beneath the fence: Positions the extraction connection close to the cutting area.
Heavy-duty construction: Suitable for use with the powerful Festool OF 2200 router in demanding applications.
Tool-specific compatibility: Designed to integrate correctly with the Festool OF 2200 routing system.

Benefits

Improved routing accuracy: Helps maintain a consistent distance between the router bit and the workpiece edge.
Faster setup: The fine adjustment mechanism makes precise positioning easier without completely resetting the fence.
Straighter results: Stable edge guidance reduces the risk of the router wandering during the cut.
Cleaner working environment: The extraction hood helps remove dust and chips directly from the routing area.
Better visibility: Reduced chip accumulation makes it easier to monitor the routing path and workpiece.
Repeatable performance: Suitable for completing multiple grooves or rebates with consistent dimensions.
Greater router versatility: Expands the range of accurate edge-guided operations that can be completed with the OF 2200.

Application

Routing straight grooves parallel to a workpiece edge.
Cutting rebates at a controlled distance from an edge.
Producing channels for joints, fittings or hardware.
Routing decorative profiles parallel to an edge.
Creating consistent recesses in timber and board materials.
Cabinetmaking and furniture production.
Joinery and solid-timber routing.
Repeat routing operations requiring consistent dimensions.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection whenever operating the router.
Disconnect the router from the electrical supply before installing or adjusting the side fence.
Confirm that the fence, guide rods and all clamping components are securely tightened before use.
Do not use bent, damaged or incorrectly sized guide rods.
Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during routing.
Keep hands and loose clothing away from the router bit and cutting area.
Ensure the router bit cannot contact the fence or extraction hood at any point in the plunge range.
Always guide the router in the correct feed direction to maintain control and reduce the risk of kickback.
Do not force the router or attempt to remove excessive material in a single pass.
Use a suitable dust extractor when routing materials that produce fine or hazardous dust.
Allow the router bit to stop completely before setting the tool down or making further adjustments.
