The Festool OFKC 500 Cordless Edge Router is engineered for tradespeople who demand precision, mobility, and flawless finishing on every edge.
Whether you're trimming veneer, chamfering cabinet doors, rebating stacked panels, or profiling delicate trim, this lightweight 18V edge router delivers exceptional results-without a cable in sight.
Built around Festool’s proven EC-TEC brushless motor, the OFKC 500 operates with ultra-low vibration and reduced noise output, all while delivering high-efficiency performance across a broad range of routing applications.
It achieves an impressive idle speed range of 10,000–25,000rpm, allowing you to precisely match the speed to your cutter and material for clean, accurate, burn-free finishes every time.
The motor’s intelligent control electronics maintain constant speed under load for uninterrupted results on hardwood, MDF, laminates, or softwoods.
Routing depth can be adjusted with pinpoint accuracy to 0.1mm, thanks to an integrated micro-adjustment mechanism and precision locking dial. This system gives you a full 10mm of fine-tuning stroke, allowing for both deep shaping passes and ultra-shallow trimming work.
Once your depth is set, the lock prevents any shifting during use-critical for maintaining repeatable accuracy across panels or workpieces.
With a maximum cutter diameter of 28mm, the OFKC 500 supports a wide variety of cutters for chamfering, rounding, flush trimming, and edge profiling.
Bit changes are fast and safe using the built-in spindle stop system, eliminating the need for extra tools or downtime. The flush ball-bearing mount keeps the cutter height low-just 12mm from the base-perfect for trimming along stacked layers or rebating close to the edge.
Designed for ultimate control, the router weighs just 1.2kg and features a slimline body with a tilted battery mount for ideal centre of gravity. This layout allows effortless one-handed operation, even during vertical or overhead routing tasks.
The router glides smoothly over your material with the help of a hard fibre base runner, which is both glide-friendly and scratch-resistant-ideal for working on finished or delicate surfaces.
A clear, spring-loaded dust extraction hood is included as standard. It adapts automatically to the material surface to provide reliable chip removal while simultaneously acting as a brake to prevent scorching or burn marks.
The 27mm dust port connects directly to Festool cordless Bluetooth-enabled extractors, triggering automatic extraction the moment the tool is activated for a cleaner, safer, more efficient workflow.
Fully compatible with Festool’s cutter range, the OFKC 500 ensures seamless integration into the Festool routing system-making it the perfect cordless edge router for high-end furniture production, kitchen fitting, site work, and fine finishing jobs alike.
