High power, low weight and constant speed are some of the features you'll find in Festool's new OF 2000 E Router. It exhibits IVk HP of actual — not developed — power, almost all of which is transferred to the bits rather than being dissipated by vibration.

Heavy-duty construction belies the 11.2 pound weight, while electronics keep the 12,000 - 22,000 rpm speed constant once you set it and also give you smooth starts. The OF 2000 E has a 1/2" collet and a fiber baseplate to help prevent scratching on the material. You can set the routing depth to an accuracy of 1/256" (1/10 mm). Angled handle placement offers an easier hold, and you can also operate the on/off switch and plunge locking lever without taking your hands off these handles. The OF 2000 E comes with an 8 mm collet, 30 mm copying ring, M12 to 1/2" adapter, dust hood, side stop and an adjustment wrench, all within one of Festool's storage Systainers. It's priced at $450.
