The Festool booth at Fensterbau in Germany was fun. Except for seeing all the stuff that is not available in the US. The vacuum clamp would be perfect for holding parts to be mortised. Another more expensive option is the Barth Vacumobile. It is an amazing work bench available over here.

Joe -

Thanks for all the posts and the details.  I loved seeing all the really substantial tooling you guys use for that kind of work.  It's also refreshing for a hobbyist (like me) to see Festools incorporated into that kind of environment.  Makes me feel like I'm not worthy of owning as many Festool tools as I do!  For what it's worth, I know that's true of the MiniMax CU300 Smart combination machine!  I have NO business having that thing...

No need to feel guilty. I think the Festools can empower the small shop or hobbiest for a fraction of the cost of heavy stationay machines.

Tim,
The new style workbenches are making me rethink my older traditional bench. I like it a lot but the new ones including the MFT tables sure leave it lacking in function. At the least I am thinking about drilling some holes to accept the Festo clamps. The Barth catalogue shows a vac clamp fitted to a old style workbench. Vacuum is a quick and secure way to hold workpieces.
