Festool VS 600 FZ 10 Slot Joint Template

At a Glance: Precision template for producing repeatable 10 mm slot-and-tenon corner joints in workpieces from 10 to 20 mm thick.

The Festool VS 600 FZ 10 is a precision slot joint template designed to create accurate and repeatable 10 mm corner joints with the Festool VS 600 jointing system. It enables cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers and professional joiners to machine consistently positioned slot-and-tenon joints in solid wood and chipboard. The template installs easily into the VS 600 base unit, while the system&s lateral stops locate the template and workpieces accurately. Once correctly configured, matching corner joints can be reproduced efficiently across multiple components—making it ideal for drawers, boxes, cabinets and furniture assemblies. The template accommodates workpieces from 10 to 20 mm thick and includes a KR-D 13,8/OF 1010/VS 600 copying ring for compatible OF 1010-series routers.

Repeatable 10 mm corner joints with VS 600 precision

The VS 600 FZ 10 transforms the VS 600 base unit into a dedicated routing guide for strong 10 mm slot joints. Its fixed routing pattern and precise workpiece positioning make it possible to reproduce matching corner connections with excellent consistency.

Product highlights

Accurate 10 mm joints: Designed specifically for slot joint connections with a 10 mm tenon size.
Repeatable production: Allows identical corner joints to be reproduced reliably across multiple workpieces.
Simple installation: Inserts conveniently into the Festool VS 600 jointing base unit.
Precise positioning: The VS 600 lateral stops locate both the template and workpiece accurately.
Solid wood and chipboard: Suitable for common furniture, cabinet and joinery materials.
10-20 mm workpiece range: Ideal for medium-thickness furniture and cabinet components.
Copying ring included: Supplied with the KR-D 13,8/OF 1010/VS 600 copying ring.

Features

Dedicated slot joint template: Guides the router to produce accurately spaced 10 mm joint profiles.
VS 600 system compatibility: Engineered to fit and operate with the Festool VS 600 base unit.
Fixed routing pattern: Supports consistent joint geometry from one component to the next.
10-20 mm material capacity: Suitable for a useful range of furniture and cabinet components.
Multi-router compatibility: Supports selected Festool OF 900, OF 1000, OF 1010, OF 1010 R and OF 1400 routers.
Included OF 1010 copying ring: Supplied with the KR-D 13,8/OF 1010/VS 600 guide ring.

Benefits

Professional joint accuracy: The template controls the routing path for neatly aligned slot-and-tenon connections.
Faster repeat work: Once the system is configured, matching components can be routed with less repeated measuring and marking.
Improved assembly alignment: Consistent slot positioning helps mating components meet accurately at the corner.
Reliable batch production: The fixed pattern reduces positioning errors across multiple furniture components.
Expanded VS 600 capability: Adds repeatable 10 mm slot joint production to the modular Festool jointing system.

Application

Producing 10 mm slot-and-tenon corner connections.
Creating corner joints in solid wood.
Joining suitable chipboard components.
Manufacturing drawers, boxes and cabinets.
Furniture construction and assembly.
Routing repeatable joints across production components.
Professional cabinetmaking and joinery.

Extra Information

The VS 600 base unit, router, cutter and other routing accessories are not included with this template.
The included KR-D 13,8/OF 1010/VS 600 copying ring is intended for compatible OF 1010-series routers.
A suitable copying ring for the OF 1400 must be ordered separately.
Confirm that the selected router, copying ring and cutter combination matches the VS 600 FZ 10 system requirements.
Both mating components should be accurately cut square and prepared to the correct thickness before routing.
Perform a complete test joint using scrap material of the same thickness before machining finished components.

Pro Tips

Mark the inside faces and matching corners of every component before routing to prevent orientation errors.
Use test pieces with the same thickness and material as the finished components when completing the initial setup.
Ensure that the template, router base and copying ring are clean, as trapped dust or chips can affect accuracy.
Guide the router smoothly and keep the copying ring in continuous contact with the template profile.
Use effective dust extraction to keep the routing openings visible and prevent chip accumulation.
Dry-assemble the completed joint before applying adhesive to confirm alignment and fit.
Record successful stop and routing-depth settings when producing repeat batches.

How to Use

Cut the mating workpieces square and confirm that their thickness is between 10 and 20 mm.
Install the VS 600 FZ 10 template securely into the Festool VS 600 base unit.
Set the lateral stops according to the VS 600 operating instructions and required joint orientation.
Position and clamp the mating workpieces securely in the correct sequence.
Disconnect the router from its power source and fit the correct cutter and compatible copying ring.
Set and verify the routing depth using scrap material of the same thickness as the finished components.
Connect suitable dust extraction and ensure that the template and routing path are clear.
Start the router and guide the copying ring smoothly around each required template opening.
Switch off the router and allow the cutter to stop completely before removing it from the template.
Remove the workpieces, clean the routed joints and dry-assemble them to check fit and alignment.
