## Summary

An 18V edge router for trimming and profiling edge banding on site: 10,000–25,000 rpm, depth set to 1/10 mm and a hardboard base that will not mark the panel. Cutters up to 27 mm screw on without a collet.

## Why this one

- **1/10 mm depth**: Fine depth adjustment for exact radii.
- **Hardboard base**: Scratch-resistant runner glides without marking.
- **Screw-on cutters**: OFK 500 radius, chamfer and flush cutters up to 27 mm.
- **Auto-start extraction**: Bluetooth battery starts the CLEANTEC extractor.

## The story

### Edge banding without a cable

Cabinet makers and shopfitters use the OFKC 500 to flush-trim and round solid-wood and plastic edging after gluing, and to break the edges of door frames and boards. Without a cable it follows long panels and parts clamped on trestles easily. The matched OFK 500 cutters (radii 1–6 mm, chamfers and flush trim) all fit the same base runner hole.

### Precise and clean

The cutter sits directly on the drive for good run-out, the depth adjusts to a tenth of a millimetre, and a spindle lock makes cutter changes quick. A transparent extraction hood with a ball-bearing brake guides the tool and collects chips; with a Bluetooth battery the extractor starts by itself. Speed is adjustable to avoid scorch marks. Supplied with an R3 roundover cutter in a Systainer³.
