The guitar is very cool.👍🏻 I love using my 1010 for routing out door hinges. So easy to get the depth and do it free hand. No need to make jigs for different size hinges as it’s so easy to use and control.

[@Epoxyclub]

Great in depth comparison!!!

[@markhesketh9467]

Worth noting, both work with the Festool plunge saw rails for mid panel guidance

[@86ConstructionContracting]

Yes they do. Although I have only used that feature once

[@Micuamacu1]

Hi....what is the table lift for 1400?

[@WelshRabbit]

If you had it to do over, would you purchase two Festool 1400 routers or have one 1400 and one 1010 router? I'm in that situation where I already have one 1400, but I can't decide to buy another Festool 1400 or go with the smaller 1010. I'd like one to use principally on the LR32 for line boring and cabinet hinge work. I also plan to get a trim router and can't decide if the 700 for edge band trimming is worth the premium cost as compared to much less expensive small trim routers.

[@86ConstructionContracting]

The 700 is the best thing for edge banding. I sold my 1010. I just use the 1400 for everything except edge banding now.

[@WelshRabbit]

@@86ConstructionContracting Thanks. I was sort of leaning in that direction, but I didn't want to spend those really big bucks without at least some 3d party confirmation. I'm am a bit of a Festool junkie, and I didn't want that to overpower my judgment.

[@86ConstructionContracting]

@@WelshRabbit well don't get to caught up. They have really let themselves go as of late.

[@rcr76]

Is it comfortable to use ? Am looking at the bigger one of the two but the handles just look cumbersome

[@86ConstructionContracting]

Much more comfortable then you would think.

[@ko6128]

Is that 1010 powerful enough to cut dados in 3/4 plywood for making garage cabinets ?

[@86ConstructionContracting]

Absolutely. Not at a 1/4 inch per pass but yes. I used a 3/4 top bearing in it to clean out the electronics cavity of my guitar after I got tired of chiseling.

[@ko6128]

86 Construction Contracting ok, thanks for the info. I’m new to festool, have a few pieces and trying to justify that $600 for the 1400.

[@86ConstructionContracting]

@@ko6128 the 1400 is in my opinion the best you can buy

[@user-nw8jd1xy9q]

Are you the guy on breaking bad lol sound just like him Matt jones

[@86ConstructionContracting]

Lol no I'm not. Who's the actor?

[@denchodenchev7149]

1/256th of an inch in eu is 0.1mm full circle is 1mm

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

Hi there, do you put your 1400 into a router table?

[@86ConstructionContracting]

Yes I do. I've since gotten. Rid of the 1010 and use the 1400 for everything I need.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

@@86ConstructionContracting i was thinking that, i buy the 1010 because of price then realize the 1400 is better..paying cheaper and paying twice as its said. Do you ajust the height then from under the table? ps what router insert plate do you use?

[@86ConstructionContracting]

I actually just made my own router table insert. I used to have the cms router table from festool. But you can do everything with a table you made yourself. I made a video on it.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

@@86ConstructionContracting you did, have you the link?
