Festool OF 1010 REBQ Plus Router

The plunge action is so smooth and precise that I can dial in exact depths without any fiddling. It’s compact enough to handle tight edge work, and the ergonomic grip keeps my hand comfortable even after a long afternoon of routing.

I’ve had routers feel top-heavy before, but this one’s compact build keeps it balanced even on edge work, and the ergonomic grip lets me guide it one-handed without fatigue. The plunge action is silky smooth, and I can switch base plates in under a minute without tools. It’s quickly become the tool

The handle layout fits my hand perfectly, even during a long afternoon of edge work, and the dust extraction port kept the bench nearly spotless. It's compact enough to maneuver in tight spots without feeling flimsy, which is exactly what I needed for these detailed grooves.
