Festool FS-OF 2200 Guide Rail Adapter For OF 2200 Router

At a Glance: Precision guide rail adapter with fine adjustment, support plate and additional handle for guiding the Festool OF 2200 router on Festool FS guide rails.

The Festool FS-OF 2200 Guide Rail Adapter is designed to guide the powerful Festool OF 2200 router accurately and safely along Festool guide rails. This is the accessory that turns the OF 2200 into a precise rail-guided routing system, ideal for straight grooves, decorative grooves, recesses and dovetail batten work. With fine adjustment that allows the distance from the guide rail to be set to a tenth of a millimetre, the FS-OF 2200 gives the user excellent control when accuracy matters. The support plate helps prevent the router from tilting off the guide rail, while the additional handle improves safe handling during guided routing work.

Festool precision routing guide for straight, controlled work

The FS-OF 2200 is built for routing applications where a perfectly straight result is needed across the surface of the workpiece. Used together with a Festool FS guide rail, it allows grooves and recesses to be positioned freely and routed with excellent accuracy, making it especially useful in joinery, cabinetmaking, shopfitting and renovation work.

Pro Tips

Make a test groove on scrap material first to confirm the router position, depth and guide rail setup.
Clamp or secure the guide rail properly before routing to prevent any movement during the cut.
Use the support plate whenever routing on the guide rail to improve stability and reduce the risk of tilting.
Keep the guide rail, adapter and router base clean from dust and chips so the router glides smoothly.
For deeper grooves, make several shallower passes rather than one heavy cut for a cleaner and safer result.
