Festool LR 32-SYS tutorial
By

The LR32 will fit the OF1010 and the OF1400. Next, some have said that the Festool 35mm bit will not
cut into wood, stating the router spins the bit too fast and only burns the wood. I have had success
with this bit. I use the router on speed setting #1, the slowest setting. I have tried poplar, cherry, pine,
oak and birch ply with no problems. Below are the two kits Festool offers:
~ Part # 58329, Festool LR 32-SYS Hole Boring System For OF 1010 & 1400: Includes: Guide Plate,
Centering mandrel, 2 side stops, 2 end stops, 2 clamps, 35mm carbide-tipped hinge-location bit, two
5mm carbide-tipped dowel drills in #1 Systainer. Router and rail(s) not included.
~ Part # 583290, Hole Drilling System for OF 1010/1400 Routers: Guide plate with centering mandrel
and two side stops, two end stops. Router, drill bits, rail(s) and clamps not included.
Here are some pictures of the parts to the LR32 system.
