Festool KT-OF Copier Scanning Set with Three Feeler Rollers
At a Glance: Precision contour-copying accessory with a mounting shaft and three interchangeable scanning rollers for compatible Festool routers.
Make accurate template and workpiece copying easier with the Festool KT-OF copier scanning set. Used together with the Festool WA-OF angle arm, this precision router accessory allows a selected scanning roller to follow the edge or contour of a template or original workpiece while the router cutter reproduces the shape on a second workpiece. The accurate guidance and fine-adjustment capability of the WA-OF angle arm make it possible to set the relationship between the scanning roller and cutter with exceptional control. Three interchangeable scanning rollers are supplied, providing greater flexibility when selecting a suitable cutter and configuring the router for different copying, contour-routing and template applications.
The KT-OF scanning roller functions as an external guide for the router. As the roller follows the edge of a template or existing workpiece, the mounted cutter follows the same path on the material being machined. This arrangement allows cutters without integrated guide bearings to be used for controlled copying work while providing precise adjustment through the separately available WA-OF angle arm.
Product Highlights
- Accurate contour copying: Allows templates or existing workpieces to be followed and reproduced with a compatible Festool router.
- Three scanning rollers: The supplied roller selection makes it easier to coordinate the guide diameter with the chosen router cutter.
- Precision adjustment: Used with the WA-OF angle arm for delicate and controlled setup.
- External router guidance: The scanning roller follows the reference edge independently of the installed cutter.
- Repeatable routing: Helps reproduce matching workpieces and profiles with consistent results.
- Broad router compatibility: Suitable for several Festool OF router generations as well as compatible KF models.
- Genuine Festool system accessory: Designed to integrate accurately with the Festool router and WA-OF accessory system.
Extra Information
- The KT-OF copier scanning set must be used together with the Festool WA-OF angle arm.
- The WA-OF angle arm, router and router cutters are not included.
- The selected scanning roller follows the template or original workpiece while the cutter machines the new component.
- The diameter relationship between the scanning roller and router cutter affects the resulting offset and final profile dimensions.
- The fine guidance provided by the WA-OF angle arm allows the roller position to be adjusted accurately.
- Always make a test cut on scrap material after changing the roller, cutter or adjustment position.
- Compatibility and accessory fitment should be confirmed against the operating instructions for the specific router model.
Pro Tips
- Select the router cutter and scanning roller together, taking the required copying offset into account.
- Use a stable, accurately prepared master template because every defect in the reference edge may be transferred to the finished workpiece.
- Make fine adjustments on the WA-OF angle arm and verify the result on an offcut before routing the final component.
- Keep the scanning roller in continuous contact with the reference edge to prevent deviations in the copied profile.
- Secure both the template and workpiece firmly so that neither can move during routing.
- Check that the selected roller rotates freely and is clear of accumulated resin, glue and dust.
- Use several shallow routing passes when removing a large amount of material for improved control and finish quality.
How to Use
- Disconnect the router from its electrical supply or remove the battery before fitting accessories.
- Install a suitable router cutter and ensure that it is correctly seated and secured in the collet.
- Select the appropriate scanning roller according to the cutter diameter and required copying offset.
- Fit the selected roller to the KT-OF shaft and mount the assembly onto the Festool WA-OF angle arm.
- Attach the WA-OF angle arm to the compatible Festool router according to its operating instructions.
- Adjust the scanning roller accurately in relation to the cutter and securely lock all adjustment points.
- Clamp the reference template and workpiece firmly, ensuring that the roller can follow the complete contour without obstruction.
- Connect suitable dust extraction and perform a shallow test cut on scrap material.
- Guide the router steadily while maintaining continuous roller contact with the template or original workpiece.
- Complete the cut in controlled passes, then disconnect the router before inspecting or adjusting the setup.
Features
- Copier scanning system: Transfers the contour of a template or original workpiece to the routed material.
- Three interchangeable rollers: Provides a choice of scanning diameters for different cutter and copying arrangements.
- Dedicated mounting shaft: Connects the selected scanning roller to the WA-OF angle arm.
- WA-OF compatibility: Works with the precision-guided Festool angle arm for fine positional adjustment.
- Machine-specific construction: Designed for compatible Festool OF and KF routers.
- Independent cutter selection: Allows a suitable router cutter to be selected separately from the guiding roller.
Benefits
- Simplifies copying work: Makes it easier to reproduce templates, profiles and existing workpieces.
- Improves routing accuracy: Precise guidance helps maintain a consistent cutter path along the reference contour.
- Reduces material waste: Controlled adjustment and repeatable guidance help minimise errors during copying operations.
- Expands router versatility: Adds external contour-following capability to compatible Festool routers.
- Supports repeat production: Useful when several matching components must be routed from one master template.
- Provides greater setup flexibility: Three scanning rollers allow the guide arrangement to be matched more closely to the required result.
Application
- Copying the contour of an existing workpiece.
- Routing components from a master template.
- Producing matching or repeat workpieces.
- Following curved and shaped reference edges.
- Template-guided edge-routing operations.
- Creating consistent profiles for furniture and joinery components.
- Controlled routing where an external guide roller is preferred.
Safety
- Disconnect the router from its power source before installing, removing or adjusting the copier scanning set.
- Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection during routing operations.
- Check that the KT-OF, scanning roller, WA-OF angle arm and router cutter are correctly installed and securely tightened.
- Ensure that the selected scanning roller rotates freely and is not cracked, loose or damaged.
- Secure the template and workpiece firmly before starting the router.
- Keep both hands on the designated router handles and away from the rotating cutter.
- Guide the router in the correct direction specified in the machine operating instructions to maintain control.
- Do not make adjustments while the cutter is moving or while the router remains connected to its power source.
- Use shallow passes when removing substantial amounts of material and never force the cutter through the workpiece.
- Follow all operating and safety instructions supplied with the router, cutter and WA-OF angle arm.
