  • Watched this video again earlier this week. I wonder if you can add chapters? LOL. I keep coming back to this for reference. The ratcheting collet part makes more sense now after changing. I also found that changing the collet was super easy. Thank goodness. Here’s a video idea for you. I used my OF 1400 for some template routing this week. I struggled with my depth of cut. I was routing out a cheese and cracker tray. For the first shallow pass I was good. But what I struggle with was two things. I want to be able to have repeatability. I’m gonna make like 8 of these cheese and cracker trays. How can I use the three turrets so that I can have three settings? One for the first pass. One for the second pass. And one for the third. It’s just not clicking for me. PLUS… I was doing a fourth pass where I used a piece of painters tape folded over as my spacer while setting the stop so that It would give me a very shallow last pass. I’d love to see a video on how to use those turrets more.

  • It's not Christmas yet Sedge, and you're hitting me with the OF1400 now! Guess I'll keep using my PC890 with an adapter plate on my LR32 Sled with a lock up insert for the tab stop till then. I had my 3D printing guy make me a clip on -/+ that clips to the bottom of the LR32 sled, to give me the width, length points for setting up the router, like the foot does. It works really well but Santa's gonna have to work some overtime. DF500 or OF1400 decisions decisions, the clock is ticking. Love the tutorials. The other Warren from Caldwell Idaho,

  • Awesome tricks ! Thanks for that once again. Even though I absolutely love the quality of my OF1400, I do not use it that much. I still haven’t found how to split a 3/4" depth groove in 3 1/8 passes and still end up at precise required depth. I guess I need to set final depth first and use the little sliding marker approximately set the intermediate passes ? Very entertaining btw 😁

  • Is that dust shroud an improvement over the original? That plastic part which moves on it breaks easily. I am assuming the black plastic on yours and not on the original helps with support for the hose nozzle. Also a "lockout" on top of the machine would be nice for future iterations. I sometimes lock mine out with the front knob before doing a cut and it's not as easy as it could be.

  • In situations like at 21:43 sometimes it is helpful to attach guide rail adapter (even a half of it). It is on the same level as routers baseplate and effectively works as a base widener. Of course for super delicate surfaces it is better to use dedicated attachment, but it is not very convenient to attach (screws - OF2200 is much better here).

  • A common complaint with some OF 1400s is the sloppy tolerances when using the snap in guide bushing and guide bushing adapters for template routing. This is well documented on FOG. Has this been resolved in the latest revisions? I love my 1400 but routing a dog hole grid is an exercise in frustration. Even Woodpeckers has acknowledged the inaccuracies in a comment on their MFT hole-boring jig video. If template routing with guide bushings is your jam, the 1010 is far superior. Guide bushing aside, the 1400s dust collection is unbeatable and is a very well-balanced router.
