Festool MFK 700 EQ/B-Plus Module Edge Router
At a Glance: 720 W mains-powered edge router with ball bearing brake, chip deflector, 8 mm collet and 130 mm router table support
The Festool MFK 700 EQ/B-Plus is a professional module edge router designed for clean, controlled flush trimming and rounding of plastic and veneered edges. Built for precision edge work, it is a brilliant partner for edging applications where finish quality matters. The wide router table support gives excellent guidance, while the chip deflector improves dust extraction, supports angled flush trimming and helps guide the router cleanly along the workpiece. With accurate 1/10 mm routing depth adjustment, variable speed control and a unique ball bearing brake, the MFK 700 EQ/B-Plus is made for smooth, streak-free edge finishing in cabinetmaking, joinery, shopfitting and furniture work.
The MFK 700 EQ/B-Plus is optimised for routing plastic and veneered edges perfectly flush. It is especially useful after edge banding work and pairs naturally with the Festool CONTURO KA 65 system. The ball bearing brake helps prevent streak marks on delicate edges, while the integrated dust extraction channel helps keep chips moving away from the work area.
Product highlights

- Precise depth adjustment: Routing depth can be fine-tuned accurately to 1/10 mm.
- Large support surface: 130 mm router table support gives safe, stable guidance for accurate routing results.
- Universal cutter use: Accepts standard cutters up to 32 mm diameter with suitable 6 - 8 mm collets.
- Material-specific speed control: MMC electronics allow the speed to be adjusted to the material being routed.
- Plug-it cable system: Removable mains cable makes tool changeover quicker and easier.
Extra Information
- This Vermont Sales product is listed as FES576241 and corresponds to the Festool MFK 700 EQ/B-Plus edge router.
- Festool’s current product page redirects this older item to the current MFK 700 KA EQ-Plus product data.
- The EQ/B-style edge-routing setup is optimised for plastic and veneered edges, especially where clean flush trimming and rounded finishing are required.
- The router table has a 130 mm support area for stable guidance along the workpiece.
- The chip deflector helps with dust extraction and also assists when routing angled edges.
- Use with a suitable Festool dust extractor for cleaner work and better visibility around the cutting area.
- For best results, use sharp, suitable Festool cutters matched to the edging material and required profile.
Pro Tips
- Use the fine depth adjustment to sneak up on the perfect flush cut instead of trying to remove too much material in one pass.
- Use sharp cutters for plastic and veneer edges. A blunt cutter can leave burn marks, chatter or rough edging.
- Keep the router table flat and supported on the workpiece; that large base is there to help you avoid tipping into the edge.
- Connect dust extraction whenever possible. Plastic chips love static and will happily stick everywhere if you let them.
- Test the setup on a scrap edge before routing a finished panel, especially when working with high-gloss, veneer or delicate laminate surfaces.
How to Use
- Select the correct router cutter for the edge material and required finish.
- Disconnect the plug-it cable before fitting or changing the cutter.
- Fit the cutter securely into the correct collet and tighten with the supplied WAF 19 spanner.
- Set the routing depth using the fine adjustment system.
- Connect a compatible dust extractor to the 27 mm extraction connection.
- Set the speed according to the material, cutter diameter and routing task.
- Place the router table securely on the workpiece before starting the motor.
- Guide the router steadily along the edge using light, controlled pressure.
- Allow the cutter to stop completely before lifting the router away or placing it down.
- Disconnect the tool before cleaning, changing accessories or storing it in the Systainer³.
