The reason you can cut bigger rebates is that the of2200has 3 bearings to the motor from the cutter. The biggest dewalt has only one small bearing near the cutter. Both pillars lock of. Try this, put the bars into the base and lock off. You will see the bars are not square. When you use the guide rail this tilts the base. Shim the bars untill the base of the router sits flush on the work piece. Use foil. When the saw sits perfectly flat, and because the pillars lock off square . The cutter will be 90° to the base. It is then like engineering in wood. But you have to shim the bars. When using the fence it really doesn't matter about shimming the bars. The 2200 is awesome! You need to get the Festool template ithas more support for the routers. Buy some pins for the base so you have a self centering mortise set up.
I currently use a Trend T11 but the dust collection isn't anywhere near as good. I think a 2200 will be my next buy with the kit so I can take advantage of my rails too
As this was a one off door its faster making and rebating after (well for me anyway)was much faster, set up time on a single door is much slower. one other little thing I had to order the glass asap and start making the door at the same time so i had small adjustment if need as i did the rebate (on the finished door) the morning the glass arrived :)
Hi, excellent video - new subscriber! Not wishing to put you on the spot - I'm building an electric guitar, would you think the 1400 or 220 would be best? I only have the budget for ONE of these awesome machines. I have a small router for fret work & other intricacies but want a new, main router, that will handle everything from body profiling to pickup / neck pocket cutting to neck shaping (to a template, I do the actual back of the neck by hand). Cheers! Ade.
I am not 100% sure, but I believe that the 2200 (I own one) do not work with the LR32 riel guide system, so probably need to buy also the 1400 . If anybody knows how to use or adapt the 2200 with LR32, please us know.
Cheers Garry, I did see there but didn't have time to order it at the time and saved the £80 :) I like having single jig that take my 1/2" and 1/4" router with a single set up as well .
There is also a rebating cutter for the OF2200 albeit an expensive one! www.idealtools.com.au/building/routers-and-accessories/cutters-router-bits/cutters-for-working-with-timber/rebating-head-and-spindle-with-reversible-replaceable-blades?limit=all
Manor Wood No but I can see it would be very handy taking the router to the work pice ... I was considering it then decided to create an insert plate for the HK85 which has more options for rebates www.dropbox.com/s/f267rwgl18z45gf/HK85block.pdf?dl=0 will also send some pics of my Domino work station when next in use
If you have a bit which is 12mm and work your way down to 25mm and need to go back and make the rebate a little deeper there in nothing to run the bearing on
Thanks for a great overview and tips for making jigs. Just got a 2200 to build my first staircase. Exited to start cutting!
thanks for the update on the 2200 great machine

What a bloody beast, man.
One pass, aye. Makes light work of tough jobs👍
Cheers Bill..! its a beast for sure!
Great jig! thanks for the tip!
You had a result with that accessory kit for £140 real bargain. I love using my 2200
I currently use a Trend T11 but the dust collection isn't anywhere near as good. I think a 2200 will be my next buy with the kit so I can take advantage of my rails too
It’s another level from the trend T9 that’s for sure
Interesting to watch, out of my price budget but good to watch all the same thanks.
It’s not a cheap option for sure . I had to give it a lot of thought my self . Cheers :)
Hello can you let me know wher I can get the kreg rauter table that you have, model would be handy.
Awesome information great to know.
Just wondering, why not use the spindle moulder for these rebates instead of these humongous router bits?
As this was a one off door its faster making and rebating after (well for me anyway)was much faster, set up time on a single door is much slower. one other little thing I had to order the glass asap and start making the door at the same time so i had small adjustment if need as i did the rebate (on the finished door) the morning the glass arrived :)
Just like that one jig your good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

1400 , for very small work the 1010 is also cool
Worth the investment
Jigs just make difficult things easy in most cases.
Would the 110 be ok for flattening slabs?
Not really ,
I am not 100% sure, but I believe that the 2200 (I own one) do not work with the LR32 riel guide system, so probably need to buy also the 1400 . If anybody knows how to use or adapt the 2200 with LR32, please us know.
Hi Felix, Your right , I have my old 1010 for that jig
Post the link to the bit shown at 0:50
Link added :)
@@ManorWood in uk that bit is 12 pounds and in amazon usa it is $120. Crazy price.
Wow!!!! look up Trend I know they do one as well ..
Trend do 2 sizes of lockjigs

Really like that , have you used this ?

Surprised if you are going to be doing doors you have not invested in Trend door jugs.
Its does look good,..
i still dont see why you couldnt make 2 or 3 passes
If you have a bit which is 12mm and work your way down to 25mm and need to go back and make the rebate a little deeper there in nothing to run the bearing on
@@ManorWood i would not use a bearing guided cutter to make that deep rebate
