The fix to get the OF1400 to work with the LR32 is apparently not complicated. I think it is discussed (with photos) on the Yahoo Festool Owner's Group site.Originally Posted by John Russell

I used the "Veritas® Shelf-Drilling Jig" from Lee Valley to drill about 1,600 shelf support holes for my built-in wall shelving last year.
The holes were perfectly aligned and the jig was easy to use. I love it!

Here's a picture of my version of Norm's jig. The holes are sized for I believe a 5/8" router bushing. The small holes at either end are for a 1/4" dowel and are used to line the jig up when you need to move it to do a longer piece. The slots allow the fence to be adjusted to place the holes a set distance from the edge of the workpiece.
I will wholeheartedly reccomend the Rockler jig. I purchased it for use when I was building a massive bookshelf for my bar room project and was blown away by its accuracy. Very nice little jig and it wasn't a lot of dough either.

Eagle America stocks a 5 MM, up cut, spiral, solid carbide , 1/4" shank router bit. I use these with my homemade shelf pin jig all the time.
