Beta Testers with MFT needed - US only

[peter halle]

It is no secret that have been in conversation with TSO Products in advance of their most recent two product releases.

I received an email from today and I will post it below:

Hello Peter
I need to ask for your help in recruiting  5 serious and active US based  woodworkers (on the FOG) to serve as evaluators of a BETA field test project for our new MTR-18 Precision Triangle tool.

Next week we’ll start with production of a small quantity of our new MTR-18 Precision Triangle to be used in BETA field testing.
To make sure it has passed muster with at least a small group of serious woodworkers we want to place some units in the hands of actual users.

Would you be willing to help recruit at least (5) woodworkers who are
·        Using MFT-3 or similar  home-made workbench tops with 20mm holes on 96mm Centers
·        Able and willing to use our new tool over a two week BETA work-out at their own location
·        Prepared to report  their findings and recommendations to us upon completion of the two-week field test period

In appreciation of the contribution of selected evaluators we will send each of them a final production version of the tool with our thanks.

The purpose of our new tool is provide
·        Precision angular reference for  90 degree square
·        Additional definitive angular stop-pin reference for 10, 15, 22 ½  and 45 degrees
·        Enable use on flat surfaces or edges via an easily removable and practical Precision Foot
·        Keep the tool simple by eliminating engraved scales and markings

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hans has asked that based on my experience I help him vet out testers and that the vetting process be done prior to Saturday.  (They want to move quickly).

So, if you meet the requirements and are willing to be considered for the limited group of five and LIVE IN THE US please respond here by the end of the day Friday, 9/23/2016.

I will help TSO decide on five beta testers.

I receive no compensation for any of this.  I will be a beta tester just like I have been for their other products.

I'm happy to give this product a try as well. I'd be using it on standard MFT/3 tables and MFT/3 MINI tables, and using a variety of different saws.

 

[Bgladd]

I'd like to try it! I love my MFT!

 

[pstout11]

I would be happy to give it a try. Have two MFT/3 set up in shop now, in process of making 10 sortainers for shop

 

[ewils91]

I would be interested. I just contracted a kitchen cabinet and island build to include counter top install. I am currently using their new track square and my crew loves it.

I was at the table with you [member=1674]Peter Halle[/member] when Hans pulled out that "wifi detector"  [wink]

Put me on the list!  I would be glad to put it through it's paces.  If it can detect better wifi in my house, even better!

Thanks for beta testing the product with a good set of folks on the FOG [member=59331]TSO Products[/member] (Hans)

cheers.  Bryan.

[blaszcsj]

I use my MFT all the time and would love to provide input. I am a mechanical engineer by trade so I can provide you with technical feedback as well. Ill even make solidworks models and dimensioned drawings for you if need be.

Hello, I am interested in participating in the beta. I am an occupational therapist that makes furniture and assistive devices for children and adults with disabilities. I use my ts 75, mft/3, and domino to build the furniture/furniture modifications about 3-5 times per week, when I make cuts they have to be precise and I cut both large and small pieces. I cut plywood, hardwood, and softwood. 

 

[Klemm]

Wow, what an impressive list of interested BETA testers!
THANK YOU ALL for your interest!
To be able to return to some of these FOG members for other future projects we will build a list of email contacts to be able to reach out after this first testing project. If interested in direct notifications of future test opportunities we invite you to drop us an email with the subject line BETA test and your FOG name so we can reach out in the future.

By Monday September 26 we will notify participants for this first new product BETA test.
