I have been interested in making my own MFT, but I would like a bigger top. So I have contacted a local CNC shop and we figure we can do a 4 by 8 mdf top for under $300. So I was wondering if anybody else would be interested in something like this.
I live in the Greater Vancouver BC area and would be willing to work with locals as I do not want to deal with shipping.

I am about 8 hours away, so too far away to make it worth coming to Vancouver, but I am very interested in a larger table. The MFTs are great to take to a job site, but I only have a home shop and would like it set up to break down sheet goods, then move over to the MFT for other tasks. Even with the leg braces, the MFT seems too wobbly for me for large sheet goods. I have seen a few larger tables on the internet, but as far as I can tell, Festool no longer sells the individual rails to make a bigger table. Any thoughts on how you were going to make it? I would love to see sketches or whatever.

That seems like a lot of money. I wish you were closer I would cut one for you for much cheaper. I've made a few so far and a few with router plate inserts. Worked out well. Anyhow good luck with your project!

Wing 79, where are you located?? Just to keep the conversation going and due to the fact that he is not online now, I believe that Wing 79 is in Michigan. Peter |

The tools in my truck were talking the other day. The Dewalts, PC's, Boschs, Makitas were not happy. They also were in the minority. Their complaint: They felt unused and unappreciated since the Festools moved in. I guess the truth hurts.

I have been thinking about using a template and plunge router and 4 qwas dogs. But a lot of people comment if they do it again they would get it cnc'd. That is why I was considering this option. Also as much as everybody says 20 mm routers bits are everywhere I have not found one yet.
As you can see I am still in the air.

Hmm how about the Festool 490951 ? 20 mm up spiral and it looks like it's still available some places, on sale maybe too.
