Festool OF-FH 2200 Routing Aid

At a Glance: Precision routing aid for secure guidance of compatible Festool routers along narrow workpiece edges.

The Festool OF-FH 2200 Routing Aid is designed to guide a compatible Festool router safely and accurately along narrow workpiece edges. It is especially useful for routing grooves and slots into doors and edges where freehand routing would be far too risky, uneven or just plain irritating.

This routing aid is ideal for work such as routing grooves for automatic drop-down door seals, multipoint locking systems, security fittings, sliding bolts and lock cases. The adjustable side stops guide the router along the workpiece edge, while the sturdy acrylic glass body gives a clear view of the setup and routing area.

Safe, precise routing of seal slots and edge grooves

The OF-FH 2200 helps stabilise compatible Festool routers when working on narrow edges. It gives the router a guided reference surface, allowing more controlled and repeatable routing for door hardware and edge-machining applications.

Product highlights

Designed for narrow edges: Helps guide the router securely along narrow workpiece edges.
Ideal for door seals: Suitable for routing grooves for automatic drop-down door seals.
Lock system routing: Useful for routing multipoint locking systems, security fittings, sliding bolts and lock cases.
Adjustable side stops: Side stops can be adjusted 60 mm on both sides with long guide surfaces.
Clear acrylic construction: High-quality routing device made from sturdy acrylic glass for visibility and control.
Movable legs: Helps guide the router safely during edge routing work.
Precise routing by marking: The centre marking corresponds with the cutter axis for routing along a scribe mark.

Extra Information

The OF-FH 2200 is a routing aid accessory for compatible Festool routers.
Festool lists compatibility with OF 900, OF 1000, OF 1010, OF 1010 R, OF 1400, OF 2000 and OF 2200 routers.
The assembly instruction specifies a maximum cutter diameter of 28 mm.
The side stops can be adjusted 60 mm on both sides.
The zero points of the scales show the centre line of the groove to be routed.
A Festool mobile dust extractor can be connected with a 27 mm or 36 mm suction hose, with 36 mm recommended where clogging risk must be reduced.
This is an accessory only. Router, cutter and dust extractor are not included unless supplied separately.

Pro Tips

Set the side pieces to match the workpiece thickness before routing, then tighten the rotary knobs firmly.
Use the centre marking to line up accurately with your scribe mark before starting the cut.
Use a 36 mm suction hose where possible when routing slots that create heavier chip build-up.
Make a shallow first pass before routing to full depth, especially when working on finished doors.
Support and hold the router with both hands. The side pieces guide the router, but they are not intended to carry the router’s weight.

How to Use

Select the compatible Festool router and suitable cutter for the routing operation.
Secure the router to the OF-FH 2200 routing aid using the correct supplied screws for the router model.
Align the router on the routing aid according to the router mounting positions.
Connect suitable dust extraction to the extractor connector where required.
Open the rotary knobs on the side pieces.
Adjust the two side pieces using the scales so that their distance matches the workpiece thickness.
Tighten the rotary knobs securely.
Align the centre marking with the required scribe mark or groove centre line.
Hold the router firmly with both hands on the router handles.
Guide the router steadily along the workpiece edge while routing the groove or slot.
After use, clean the routing aid with a soft, dry cloth and store it safely.
