Cutting an 18-mm-wide slot with a router means making two passes and hoping the second pass lines up exactly. The MF 26 cc cuts it in a single pass—the adjustable groove cutter continuously can be set from 15.4 to 25 mm, and you adjust the depth to a tenth of a scale mark using the set screw. That’s what it’s all about: the specialist for wide slots, V-slots , and slots, guided on the F-rail system, with a milling depth of 0 to 26 mm and a continuously variable speed from 3,600 to 6,250 rpm.
“Multi-milling machine” here refers to three machines in a single magnesium housing: With the milling head, it cuts grooves and rebates; with the V-cutters, it masters folding and bending techniques—90°slot s into drywall or aluminum composite panels, folding—resulting in a sturdy edge with no visible joint. And with the 120-series saw blade, it cuts up to 26 mm along the guide rail. The glider runs along the material’s surface to prevent tipping, and the pointer accurately indicates the depth with or without the guide rail. The safety feature lies in the tool change: The protective cover opens with a single hand movement—and it is precisely this movement that automatically activates the start-up interlock and blade lock, ensuring that nothing can start up or rotate while the machine is open.
Buying the Mafell router at RUWI isn’t a given: We’re manufacturers ourselves—tools for woodworking professionals based in Fluorn-Winzeln, 4 kilometers from the Mafell factory in Oberndorf am Neckar. We carry products that we can recommend based on our own experience—and we’ll tell you below when a standard router will suffice.
Here's how to use it
-
slots Width in a Single Pass: Back panel, support board, shelf—clamp the adjustment guide, set the width, and mill.
-
Fold the edges instead of joining them: V-slot s made of drywall or aluminum composite—just fold them down, and the corner trim is in place.
-
Triple slotting: The slotting unit creates three slots per pass—bending technology for curved parts.
-
Turn the inserts instead of sharpening them: the carbide inserts on the milling head are turned over, not sent in for sharpening.
Does this fit in your workshop?
The MF 26 cc is a worthwhile investment wherever wide slots and V-fold techniques are used regularly—in interior construction, trade show and retail booth construction, and on building facades. For narrow standard grooves and profile work, the router remains the more flexible tool, and slot series machines used in a fixed location operate on the RUWI router table —there, exclusively in counter-rotation, because in forward rotation the cutting force pulls the workpiece in. The MF 26 cc is available in three configurations: with an aluminum composite router bit, with a drywall router bit, or as a /400 base machine—the tools are interchangeable among these configurations.
