Chip Collector for OF 1400

Functions

A chip collector accessory for the Festool OF 1400 plunge router — the dust extraction guide that captures chips and routs them directly into the connected CT extractor during edge routing work. The collector mounts to the router base and positions the dust port to catch the chip stream that side-cutting operations produce. Use this collector for the routing work it is built for: edge profiling, rebating, flush trimming and the operations where the cutter is engaged on the workpiece edge rather than plunged into the face. Edge cuts throw chips sideways — without a chip collector the dust extraction misses most of them, and the chips end up on the workpiece, on the floor and in the air. With the collector fitted, the extraction does its job properly. A genuine Festool accessory, engineered to mate precisely with the OF 1400 router base. Cabinetmakers, joiners and shopfitters who use the OF 1400 for production edge work fit the chip collector because a dust-controlled routing workflow is the whole point of the Festool router-and-extractor system — and on edge work, the collector is what makes the extraction actually work.
