DIY cabinet under MFT/3, missing dimensions

[tgynther]

I’m building a DIY cabinet to go under an Festool MFT/3 table that I plan to buy later. Could someone share the exact outside-to-outside measurements (in millimeters please ) between the corner brackets, so I can cut the tabletop to the correct size?

Are you sure you want between the brackets. Most are built so the leg brackets sit on the bench.

Tom

You're right. Leg brackets must sit on the bench

772x1153, the rubber feet set in about 10mm.

Thanks!

Just Google the size of an MFT/3.


Took 10 seconds!

I would make the cabinet the MFT/3 will sit on slightly larger.

Even when I work with analogue wood I can also use computer to google

As you can see from Tom's answer actual dimension from leg brackets are less than surface dimension. If you make cabinet larger than surface it could interfere with aluminium profile attachments. So I would say that cabinet should be slightly smaller than surface.

My friend just finished his MFT undercabinets last week.

May I ask….what is ‘analogue wood’? Composite, particle, mfd, ply ? Anything not solid wood ?

Really nice ! Are they attached or 2 separate ?
*edit..oh…I see the table connecting bars so one unit I guess…maybe he can separate when needed ?

Yes, exactly. They are separate units. In this case, he mirrored them so both are the same design. I recommended to him the WoodRiver 2.5" double-locking casters, which I have used on a number of tool carts. If you do similar, pay attention to caster placement. He ended up placing them in the corners - meaning that if he were to butt the two together, the meeting casters would collide and not spin so moving them becomes difficult - this is why the two have so much gap between them.

When you are in the tool acquisition phase, it’s god to have a friendly competitor.

It would be better if this left front caster was moved inboard under a vertical member.

Tell that to my colleagues wife, she ain't so pleased with me! ;-)

But on the upside my colleagues probably the happiest he's ever been since discovering power tools as an immigrant to this country!
