Description

Festool OFKC 500 R3 EB-Basic (577985) 18V cordless brushless edge router in Systainer

Festool 577985 cordless edge router is designed for clean, controlled edge work where mobility and a tidy finish matter most—ideal for trimming, rounding-over and chamfering without being tethered to a cable. The OFKC 500 R3 EB-Basic combines a slim, well-balanced body with accurate depth control to help you achieve consistent results on site or in the workshop.

Built around a brushless EC-TEC motor and variable speed, the OFKC 500 is set up for neat edge processing with quick cutter changes via spindle stop and a dust extraction attachment to support cleaner working.

Note: Supplied as a bare unit (battery and charger not included).

Key Features

  • Cordless 18V edge routing: Helps you work freely around panels, door frames and fitted components without a trailing cable.
  • Brushless EC-TEC motor: Efficient, low-maintenance performance for professional edge finishing tasks.
  • Variable speed control: Adjustable no-load speed range to suit different materials and help reduce scorching.
  • Fine depth adjustment: Accurate setting for repeatable profiling and trimming work.
  • Spindle stop: Speeds up cutter changes for less downtime between operations.
  • Dust extraction support: Supplied attachment is designed to capture routing waste and improve visibility at the edge.
