Nice bunch of systainers there John. 

I observe that it appears to be more homogeneous than my collection (http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tools-accessories/my-systainer-wall/)

And here I was worried that the Foggies would possibly be lonely.  [big grin]

What a shop!

Enjoy them!

[windmill man]

Thank you all kindly.

It the worst shop I have ever had, its a nightmare to work in. I keep promising myself I will get it sorted. Need to spend time and money in there . Sort out storage , benches, extraction etc. Its just finding the time. I am daft really, if i got it done , things would get made quicker and easier.

Nice collection you have Frank all well love and used as are mine.

The strange thing is that in all that lot there is not one Festool sander, I have always used Bosch industrial stuff. Then I was lent a rotex to try.

Mistake!

There is now a Rotex 150 and 90 on the list for this year. I thought that my Festool buying was at an end last year when I got the CS50.

Jon your welcome any time.

Peter your Fogtainer babies have fitted right in and are even making friends with the MAFFELLMAX

Its an extended MFT3 with VVL.

 

[b_m_hart]

extended mft?  Did you buy the 2 meter extrusions, and throw a couple of tops in there with a scrap for the middle?  Does it flex much in the middle?

 

[windmill man]

Thats pretty much it.

There is some flex but very little. its a great set up for cutting and making big cupboards. I used the original MFT3 top and the top of a MFT1080. it does need a stiffener under the mid point of the tops.

John

 

[Alan m]

im sorry for being off topic  [embarassed]

did you buy a full mft and buy two 2 meter rails and extra top. or did you buy all the parts.
i was thinking of building one of these for my shop but not with the fold up legs and put it on a cart seen here on the fog whe systainers underneath.

where in the uk did you get the parts

my local dealer has a 1080 that is discontinued , could i get the longer rails for it or should i buy the mft 3 parts seperatly . i wouldnt use the angle part of the fence but do what paul marcelhas done to his.

 

[jonny round boy]

I think this needs splitting off from the FOGtainers thread, into a separate thread for Windmill Man's shop pictures and discussions about extended MFTs...

You reading this, Peter.... [poke]

[big grin] [big grin] [big grin]

 

[Alan m]

yes i would agree but how do we move this . calling peter

Why not a pair or two of the Festool MFT Cross Members?

I doubt the cross members would be any good - for a start, they're designed to go across between the legs, and now the legs are further apart they wouldn't reach.

John,

Does it need a stiffener across the width (ie to stop the rails flexing outward) or between the rails and the floor to prevent downward flex? I would have thought the former.

Apart from cost, what is the advantage of using the longer rails to extend the MFT, rather than using 2 MFTs joined end to end with one leg in the middle?
