DIY MFT- Distance between holes?

[Jack01]

I am making a MFT top but I am not sure about the distance between the holes.

Please let me know what should be the distance between the holes.

Thanks

If you are just cutting a replacement top see the link directly below.http://www.senecawoodworking.com/blogs/news/5927081-replacement-mft-top-cad-drawings

I designed mine as a mix between the MFT from Festool, and the MFT Slab, making it far larger in order to rip a 49" sheet.

Also make sure to do a few test hits for the hole size and check them with a dog...unless you are making your own dogs too.

Guess I gave him the link with the info, but never directly answered the question.
3.780" = 96mm depending on which measuring system you program in. If you look at the link I posted it lists the hole as 20.2mm. I had to tighten that up a little bit for the CNC bit used, left the holes a little sloppy at that measurement. Hence why I recommend a few test holes. I wound up doing a line of them fairly close together which I then used as an insert in a MFT Sys 3 for holding the dogs and rail dogs.

If you use a Woodrave router base and pegboard they are 4 inches on center.  Works for me.

When I wanted to drill an extra row on my 1080 MFT to be able to use my quick clamps closer to the edge of my MFT, I simply used my one of my LR32 rails and my OF1400 with a 20mm bit with the LR32 system router 'sled' on the rails to drill them.  I could easily index them 96mm OC as the other holes on the LR32 can be indexed that distance perfectly that way.  My distance in that instance from the next row wasn't 96mm, but that didn't matter to me for this purpose as long as they were parallel.
