Festool MFS-VP 400 Extension Profile
At a Glance: 400mm extension profile set for Festool MFS 400 and MFS 700 multi-routing templates, supplied as 2 x 400mm profiles with millimetre scale, longitudinal connector and screwdriver.
The Festool MFS-VP 400 extension profile is designed to expand the working range of the Festool MFS 400 and MFS 700 multi-routing templates. It allows users to extend the template system for larger cut-outs, bigger radii and more flexible routing applications, while maintaining the accuracy and repeatability that make the MFS system so useful in professional woodworking and installation work.
Each profile features a clear millimetre-accurate scale for precise setup, making it easier to create accurate openings, recesses, curves and template-guided routing work. The profiles are easy to connect using slot nuts and the supplied longitudinal connector, while the grooves allow compatible Festool fastening clamps and lever clamps to be inserted for secure fixing. Front bolts help with exact positioning, making the MFS-VP 400 a practical addition for cabinet makers, joiners, shopfitters and installers who need a larger and more adaptable routing template setup.
The MFS-VP 400 extends compatible Festool MFS multi-routing templates, giving users extra reach and flexibility while keeping the system accurate, modular and easy to set up. It is ideal for larger routing templates where repeatability, secure clamping and precise measurement are important.

Pro Tips
- Before routing the final workpiece, assemble the extended template and check all measurements using the millimetre scale.
- Clamp the template securely through the profile grooves to prevent movement during routing.
- Make a test cut in scrap material when setting up a new radius, recess or opening size.
- Keep the profile grooves clean so connectors, slot nuts and clamps slide smoothly and lock securely.
- Use the front bolts for repeatable positioning when setting up multiple identical routed parts.
- For larger cut-outs, support the workpiece properly and route in controlled passes instead of removing too much material at once.
How to Use
- Confirm that the extension profiles are being used with a compatible Festool MFS 400 or MFS 700 multi-routing template.
- Place the MFS template and extension profiles on a clean, flat surface for assembly.
- Use the supplied longitudinal connector and slot nuts to connect the 400mm profiles to the template system.
- Set the required template size or radius using the millimetre scale on the profiles.
- Tighten all connectors securely once the required dimensions are set.
- Position the template on the workpiece using the front bolts and scale markings for accurate alignment.
- Insert suitable Festool fastening clamps or lever clamps into the profile grooves and secure the template to the workpiece.
- Fit the correct router cutter and guide bush setup for the required routing operation.
- Route the cut-out, recess or radius in controlled passes, keeping the router stable against the template.
- After use, loosen the connectors, clean the profiles and store the components safely.
Features
- Extension profile system Expands the working size of compatible Festool MFS multi-routing templates.
- 400mm profile length Adds practical extra template length for larger routing applications.
