Between cuts

[webfarmer]

Always enjoyed a nice place to put saw between cuts.

Recently tried a "TSO MFT Aligned" device, which gave me leftover Festool parts.

The parts fit the profile of course.

I thought I could use the parts for a quick attach saw cradle.

While I can certainly appreciate the concept......I have trust issues.
I would never set something that heavy and expensive as that was only supported by that single point on the extrusion. Triangulating a support down to the leg, might make me feel better.
My solution (though not portable like the MFT) is a simple shallow drawer, in my Sysports.
It pull out when needed, is 17" x 20" and will hold anything, not just the saw.
Closed/open

I usually set mine on my MW-1000.  The dowel groove provides a nice recessed area for the green off-cut splinter guard on the TS when it's down, which keeps it from rocking or getting the SG knocked out of place.

I have considered making a relief for that in my pull-out. I think I remember seeing where someone has  already made a file for this on the Shaper Hub.
It's a shallow pocket for the entire base plate of the saw, forcing it into one specific location.

I keep thinking that I want to change the pull outs for the rest of the Sysports anyway. As they are now, there is a slight wall around them, to keep them in place. The slabs are about 1" wider than they need to be and this was the original temporary solution. They are not glued, just 23ga pins, because temporary. That has been almost 4 years.
This will probably end up as a home-shop project though. I really don't want to tear all of that apart, for such a minor thing. I does mean that I can take at least a whole inch from the total width of the cabinets. That's going to be helpful in the much smaller space.

I grab a systainer and put it next to the MFT.  With the splinter guard down and locked, it nestles into the handle void and keeps it from accidentally sliding off.
