Festool OF 2200 EB Plunge Router Kit with OF 2200 Imperial Accessory Kit

The Festool OF 2200 EB Plunge Router Kit with OF 2200 Imperial Accessory Kit is a heavy-duty corded router package for cabinet shops, millwork crews, stair builders, and serious woodworkers. This is a plunge router designed for deep grooves, large edge profiles, template routing, and guided straight routing in hardwood and sheet goods. Model Number 576223-576833 pairs the OF 2200 EB-F-Plus router with the imperial base accessory kit, each in its own Systainer3.

The router itself is the Festool 576223 OF 2200 EB plunge router. Festool rates it at 2,200 W with a variable speed range of 10,000 to 22,000 RPM, and its electronics hold the set speed as the load climbs. Festool's own benchmark is plunging into 8/4 hardwood and cutting a 1/2" groove in a single pass. That puts it closer to a hand-held shaper than a typical plunge router. Spin bits up to 89 mm in diameter at the low end of the speed range for raised panels and large profiles.

Depth control is built for real joinery. The plunge stroke is 3-1/8" (80 mm), and a four-position depth turret lets you set stepped depths for roughing and a final cleanup pass. A fine adjustment of 13/16" (20 mm) dials in final depth in 1/10 mm steps, so you can creep up on a hinge mortise or a dado for a specific sheet thickness instead of guessing.

Big routers usually feel top-heavy. The OF 2200 uses an offset base and angled handles to keep your hands low and the tool balanced. Dual-column clamping holds the motor rigid to the base so the bit does not deflect when you push into a heavy cut. The dust extraction column runs up the back to a swivel nozzle at the top, which keeps the hose and cord out of your hands and off the work.

The Festool 576833 imperial accessory kit for the OF 2200 is what makes this the version to buy. The guide rail adapter lets the router run on Festool guide rails for perfectly straight dadoes and grooves across a full panel. The parallel edge guide and two guide rods handle edge work and grooves a set distance from an edge. The D36 base runner and the copying ring base runner handle extraction and template work, and the four imperial copying rings cover common template and inlay jobs.

Every base in the kit snaps onto the router without tools. That matters on a day when you move from a rail-guided dado to a template-cut opening to an edge profile. You change the base, not the router, and you are back to work in seconds. The kit stores in its own SYS3 M 237, so the small parts stay together and do not end up loose in a drawer.

The router ships with a 1/2" collet, and Festool offers 8 mm and 1/4" collets separately if you run smaller-shank bits. The dust port accepts 1-1/16" and 1-7/16" (27 and 36 mm) hoses, and Festool recommends the 36 mm hose for this router. Paired with one of the Festool dust extractors, the extraction column pulls chips away at the source, which keeps template edges and layout lines visible through the cut.

One compatibility note before you order. Festool states that OF routers produced after 2021 are not compatible with the Festool CMS router table system in the USA. Plan on hand-held and rail-guided work with this router, or a third-party table plate.

Who should buy this kit? Shops and installers who need one router that handles large bits, deep plunges, and guided straight work without stepping up to a stationary shaper. If you mostly break edges and cut hinge mortises, a smaller router is lighter and cheaper. If you build cabinets, stairs, countertops, or millwork, the OF 2200 with the full base kit covers the work that pushes smaller routers past their limit.

The Festool OF 2200 EB Plunge Router Kit Is a Shaper You Can Carry

The router alone is a beast. The imperial base kit is what lets you put that power to work on rails, edges, and templates without building jigs.

• Who it's for: Cabinet shops, stair and millwork builders, and countertop installers running large bits and deep grooves.
• Why it stands out: 2,200 W with constant speed, 3-1/8" of plunge, tool-free base changes, and imperial copying rings in one package.
• Worth knowing: At 17.2 lbs it is a two-handed router, and current OF routers do not fit the Festool CMS table in the USA.

• What collet comes with the router? A 1/2" collet. 8 mm and 1/4" collets are sold separately.
• Are the copying rings imperial? Yes. The kit includes 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-3/8" copying rings.
• Can it run on my Festool track saw rail? Yes. The included guide rail adapter lets the router run on Festool FS guide rails.
• Will it fit a Festool CMS router table? No. Festool states OF routers produced after 2021 are not compatible with the CMS system in the USA.
