Chip Deflector for OF 2200

Functions

A chip deflector accessory for the Festool OF 2200 plunge router — the dust extraction guide that channels chips and dust from the cutting zone directly into the connected CT extractor when edge-routing. The deflector mounts to the router base and positions the dust port to capture the chip stream produced by side-cutting work. Use this deflector for the routing work it is built for: edge profiling, rebating, flush trimming and other operations where the cutter is engaged on the edge rather than plunging into the face of the workpiece. Edge cuts throw chips sideways and outward — without a deflector, the dust extraction misses them and the chips end up on the workpiece, the floor, and the operator. With the deflector fitted, the extraction is genuinely effective on edge work. A genuine Festool accessory, engineered to mate precisely with the OF 2200 router base. Cabinetmakers, joiners and shopfitters who use the OF 2200 for production edge work fit the chip deflector because the OF 2200 is a serious router producing serious chip volume — and the dust-controlled workflow Festool is built around only works when the extraction is configured for the work being done.
