Tim, Certainly, you were not wrong to think that the product is currently available for sale. I should have mentioned it in my original post.

Re: AIGNER FLUSHFIX

 

I've used the Hoffmann, sold here in the US as Adler if I'm not mistaken. It's a good tool, also expensive. I have the Virutex and it's quite good despite being half the cost of it's competitors. My shop made offset base for a Bosch Colt still gets a surprising amount use as well does my Veritas low angle block plane. If I've just got a few pieces to trim, the plane is always my go to.

You are getting some errors on your decimal points going from inch to metric there. I try to set my knives to where they all run within .001 or so, .002¡± is ok, but .001¡± would be better. I also used a low strength loctiite or even better a product called vibratite on the set screws, so they stay where you put them once adjusted.

As for measuring, I use the indicator holders we make and sell¡­. looks like Wood magazine copied my design somewhat.

Re: AIGNER FLUSHFIX

 

John,

The vortex 8mm shank spiral router bit cutting part is 1 inch long.

I have not have plan to modify the $200 base. To have better control, I still believe the tool should rest on the panel instead overhanging the edge of the panel.

Re: AIGNER FLUSHFIX

 

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I have better luck given that melamine is generally flat and the edge banding is thin. I have no idea how often I will edge band plywood in the future, so I didn¡¯t want to commit to an expensive?discontinued tool, despite it¡¯s amazing reputation.?

Re: AIGNER FLUSHFIX

 

I have the OF1010 and the base which facilitates edge trimming. I just picked up a Whiteside 1/4" downcut spiral with double end bearing. I need to flush trim a 3/16" piece of maple to a sheet of melamine. I've read the bearings aren't required with the Festool accessories, but figured it was a good insurance policy. I'll follow up with the results of my experience.

Wow, an $1800 tool they sell for $3240 just because it is discontinued by Lamello.

It was CAD $1850 in 2016. It was actually cheaper buying Cantex in Canada than states (US$ 1800) back then.? I almost pulled the trigger.

Now, if I need to trim the solid wood edge banding, I use Festool OF1400 with Freud 1 1/4" dish carving bit (1/2" shank) and 1/2" MDF base based on the technique demoed in this video?, I get the perfect result, the only downside is QF1400 is too big.

I also have MKF 700, bought a 25 mm diameter router bit with 8mm shank a month ago, will try it.

Paul Marcel modified the horizontal base to extend the capacity of MFK700, so he could use a longer bit for trimming edge banding.?

If Festool makes a lipping planer like Lamello Cantex and sells it at a reasonable price, I will probably buy it :)

David,

I assume you do not have MFK700, supposedly the go to tool for flush trimming. I have one but have not used it yet. One of those good deal buy.

Seems like the workpiece would have to be perfectly flat for this to work. Since edging is commonly applied to plywood, I am suspect of it¡¯s effectiveness consistently.

Mark,

I have OF1010 too. The 25mm diameter bit is less than 1 mm than the opening of the MFK700 base, kind of scary. I might just use it on OF1010.
