Festool Cordless Edge Trimmer MFKC 700

The cordless version of Festool’s MFK lightweight modular router lets you trim edgebanding with the freedom of not being tied to cord. You can trim laminate and edge banding outdoors, in a crowded shop or on-site as needed. The modular design adapts to trimming, chamfering, and detailed edge work in seconds.

Like its corded kin, the MFKC is very stable, with a nice wide base with an outboard handle, so you can position the router precisely on the edge and run it around your work with little fear of wobbling or getting an uneven edge.

A very helpful accessory (sold separately) is the 1.5 degree Vertical Base. When you want to run the router parallel to the edge of the work (not the face as usual), you can switch bases and still have a wide, stable base running on the face of the work, with the router running the right way with a really cool ball bearing fence. The vertical fence is canted at 1.5 degrees so that you can safely trim edge-banding requiring no additional finish work. No tools are required for switching bases, which saves oodles of time looking for wrenches. And of course dust collection works both horizontally and vertically.

Many router bits that fit the OF1010, 1400 and 2200 can be used with the MFK, but the primarily used bits are #491666 and #50038, which removes excess edge banding material for flush trimming on flat or beveled pieces. Festool cautions against using a bit with a cutting length over 5/8" (16 mm) and a shank length of 1-13/16" (46 mm) with the horizontal base, and recommends a 3/4" (19 mm)
