FFX (in the UK) has the FSN-OFA, and Axminster.co.uk is getting it real soon.

Wish we could get that here in USA. That would come in handy as well as the circle template.

Has anyone found one yet? If you mean the Router adapter plate FSN-OFA, I've had it for a few months now. What would you like to know?

Well, I should back up. What are your thoughts? Is it built well and does it work well? I don't remember seeing a review but could have missed it.

I don't want to repeat myself (and cross-post) but wonder if these questions (link) might be better answered here..? I'm also wondering now if I've misunderstood the function of this router adapter... Is it intended solely to drill holes at 32mm spacings (a use I don't know about)? Does it allow the router distance from the guide rail to be adjusted sufficiently to use some larger diameter cutters - I'm thinking particularly of large diameter rebate cutters..? And, yes, I'm completely new to this so please excuse me if that's a dumb question... the other post has detail re what I'm intending using it for. Ian

Oh ya baby. This is going to be a great system. The pin is a little tricky as it floats. It sometimes doesn't want to hit the hole in the rail and takes a little wiggle to get it to set. PERFECT holes with PERFECT spacing. Didn't have a single 5mm pin to try them out! all I have is 7.5mm so it's off to Lee Valley in the morning. I just hit a piece of 3/4" ply and 3/4" melamine.

How do you align the spacing if you wanted to run a pantry? I assume there is a way to calibrate with the smaller rail.

I couldn't find anything on doing that. I was hoping to get a pair of the 1600 Rails when I bought the system but they wouldn't ship them so I opted for two 800. When I get that figured out I'll let you know. I can tell you that attaching two rails keeps the 32mm spacing. If you could keep the center rail from moving you could possibly leap frog the it and re-attach. Sounds goofy but it might work.

This is very interesting!! Of course, within the Mafell ecosystem I suppose the DD40 is the preferred hole drilling tool, but in lieu of that investment this seems like a great workaround. I recently bought the LR32 setup for my OF1400 as part of a custom wardrobe commission I landed. Not sure if I'll keep the LR32 in the long term, but I figured it would work for this project and can always sell it for close-to-new price if I decide to make the jump up to the DD40 setup... Do you have any further thoughts on your setup?

Do you have any further thoughts on your setup? I really like it so far. I am doing a set of bookshelves and got the system more for the rails then the attachment. There is a fair amount of play in the base relative to the the rail. It can be minimized by locking down one side and then putting tension on the other. Creating a twist. Not repeatable but it does work. Unfortunately there is no rail adjustment that can be made and the rail "slide" if plastic. I am going to try and come up with a solution when time allows. I have done about 100 holes with it and I don't actually think it's an issue except for the fact that it shouldn't do it. Here's my vid showing the movement, I am pushing pretty hard on it. And the plastic shoe that rides the rail. IMG_3036 by thedude306, on Flickr The other problem is the pin. Easily fixed by giving it some taper so it can find the holes easier.

This fixed the pin seating issue. All I did was take the pin and chuck it up in a drill and put a slight bevel on it with a file. Works 100% Untitled by thedude306, on Flickr The kit also works GREAT for dados. Here's the big router and the results. This is actually more valuable to me then the shelf pins. This was always a PITA to do on the table saw for me. This was very SLICK!
