Routers

A router is equipped with a powerful electric motor which operates at between 10,000 and 24,000 revolutions per minute. This professional tool, which has been developed for manual operation, allows users to precisely route chamfers and grooves, as well as to profile every type of workpiece. In addition, it is ideal for routing with templates or freehand routing. The router is a tool which is intuitive to operate thanks to its torsionally rigid base plate, interchangeable base runners which can be changed without tools and copying rings as well as uncomplicated router changeover. No workshop should be without one – particularly in combination with additional products from the Festool system, such as the right extractor, guide rails and multi-routing templates.

The three brothers – Stephan, Carl and Sixten – offer their customers a stunning range of perfectly designed floorings with passion and a keen eye for detail. The parquet flooring they create is more like a work of art than a conventional parquet floor. We accompanied the team on an order and got to the bottom of things in an interview.
