LR 32 Guide Plate Adapter Kit for Makita Compact Routers

Turn your trim router into a 32mm hole boring powerhouse

Festool's LR 32 Hole Drilling System is one of the best ways to efficiently build cabinets using the standardized European frameless 32mm system, particularly when boring shelf pin holes in casework. Originally designed to utilize Festool OF 1400 or OF 1010 routers, this Adapter Kit makes it possible to use Festool's LR 32 system with Makita's popular compact routers (models XTR01Z and RT0701C).

Utilize the Festool LR 32 system without purchasing or reconfiguring a Festool router every time you need to bore holes in cabinetry. Instead, you can dedicate a lower cost Makita trim router for a more practical setup that's ready to go when you need it.

More Than Just Boring Holes: Grooves, Dados, & Rabbets, Too

With the included Pivot Block, Festool's LR 32 System can also be used to route continuous grooves, dados and rabbets—perfect for accommodating casework backing or drawer bottoms. The Pivot Block features an integrated magnet and attaches underneath the guide plate lever, keeping the pin temporarily raised such that it will not engage the holes in the guide rail. This is a great alternative to other router-to-guide-rail attachment methods such as Festool's own 492601 guide stops, especially if you don't need the micro-adjust feature. When you want to switch back to 32mm hole boring, simply remove the TSO Pivot Block from underneath the lever, self-store the block using its magnetic base anywhere on the LR 32 Guide Plate, and re-install your 5mm boring bit.
