Charles Peterson, an instructor with the National Wood Flooring Association and respected expert on the topic, recently teamed up with This Old House to produce a video showing how to install a herringbone floor.
In the video, Charles uses several Festool power tools, his preferred tools for the task. The photo above is an example of Charles' work and it is the floor that students produce during their NWFA class with Charles. We've seen quite a few exquisite examples of decorative floors over the years produced with Festool.

It's time to take a new route.
We believe that routing shouldn't be a messy task, leaving you looking like a snowman covered head to toe in wood chips and dust. Experience the way woodworking should be with the Festool family of plunge routers, including the highly awarded OF 1010 and OF 1400 routers. These two routers are compatible with the soon-to-be-released CMS Router Table and are guaranteed to change the way you approach routing tasks forever.
Take a look at this video from Marc Spagnuolo, the Wood Whisperer, where he checks out the various router models offered by Festool.

Sure, having an amazing router table to use with your OF 1010 or OF 1400 plunge router will make it even more functional and versatile. But, Festool has the most comprehensive assortment of router accessories to make your router do more, and do it easier.
