Festool MFK 700 EQ-Plus Module Edge Router

At a Glance: 720 W modular edge router with 1/10 mm fine adjustment, integrated extraction, plus 1.5° router table and feeler gauge in a Systainer³.

The Festool MFK 700 EQ-Plus is the edge router for people who care about the last 2%—because that’s where the finish lives. It’s a modular system: instead of swapping the whole router to do different edge tasks, you swap the router table. That keeps your setup fast and your results consistent, whether you’re flush-trimming edge banding, rounding over, chamfering, or profiling. With precise depth adjustment (down to 1/10 mm), a stable 130 mm support surface, and dust extraction integrated right at the base, it turns edge work into a controlled, clean, repeatable process.

Standout feature: Modular routing tables for serious edge finishing

The MFK 700 platform is built around quick conversion—fit the right table for the job, set your depth accurately, and route with confidence near edges and on narrow stock where standard routers feel clumsy. The included 1.5° router table is ideal for precise edge trimming, and the feeler gauge helps dial in repeatable, accurate setups.

Product highlights

Interchangeable router tables Wider application range without changing the whole tool—just fit the right table and carry on.
Micro-adjustable depth Accurate to 1/10 mm for crisp edges, consistent reveals, and repeatable trimming.
130 mm support surface Stable routing results, especially near edges or on narrow components.
Integrated dust extraction Extraction built directly into the router base for a cleaner cut line and better visibility.
Built for real workshop pace Electronic speed regulation plus motor temperature monitoring for long service life.

Extra Information

For best results on edge banding, do a light trimming pass first, then finish with a final skim cut to reduce tear-out and chatter marks.
Using dust extraction isn’t just cleaner—it helps accuracy by keeping chips from lifting the base or obscuring the cut line.

Pro Tip

Set your depth using the feeler gauge and a scrap test piece, then lock it down—once dialled in, this router will repeat the same finish all day like a machine with opinions.

Features

720 W mains-powered motor Strong, steady performance for trimming, profiling and edge routing tasks.
Variable speed 10 000 - 26 000 RPM to match the material and cutter for a cleaner finish.
Fine-tuning stroke 14.00 mm fine adjustment range for precise depth control.
Standard collet sizes 6 - 8 mm collet compatibility for common edge routing cutters.
Restart protection Added safety feature to help prevent unintended start-up after power interruption.

Benefits

Cleaner edge finishes: Stable base support and micro adjustment reduce chatter, tipping and over-trimming.
Faster changeovers: Modular tables keep you moving between edge tasks without reconfiguring your whole setup.
Less cleanup, better accuracy: Extraction at the source helps keep the cut line visible and the surface cleaner.

Application

Routing solid wood, acrylic and PVC edge veneer
Chamfering, rounding and profiling edges
Grooving with side stop / side fence for controlled edge routing
Flush trimming edging and overhangs with clean, consistent results
Detail edge work on panels, shelves, cabinetry and furniture parts

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing, especially on MDF, hardwoods, plastics and edge banding.
Secure the workpiece properly and keep hands clear of the cutter path before switching on.
Use suitable dust extraction and keep the extraction channel clear to prevent chip build-up.
Unplug the tool before changing cutters, swapping tables, or adjusting fences/stops.
Use sharp cutters and ensure the collet is clean and tightened correctly to prevent bit slip.
