Festool improvements

If a little company in California can figure this out, I'd hope that a medium sized international company would be able to follow suit. 
LOL. Even one guy in his garage could figure it out:
 
Cheese, 35 years ago I had a Craftsman router that had a light that attached to the side of the motor housing with a pair of screws. The light died many years ago and I tossed it but the router is still going. I keep a 1/4" roundover bit in it ready to go.

I could be wrong, but I don't think MFT legs offer much in adjustability.  This is something that has left me wondering what I will do with one as the space I will be using it does not have level floors.  Like a lot of basements it has large amounts of pitch towards floor drains.  A table were all the legs can adjust a bunch, like 100mm would be great. I would think for both basement dwellers, garage users, people out side, etc.  Being able to adjust all the legs would be great.  Something like camera tripod legs with lever locks.  But at the very least long threaded pivoting pads.  Same would apply to a CMS.  Lots of folks work on far less than ideal floors.

I too would like to see more adjustability on the MFT legs. Mine is setup in my basement shop and the floor pitches near the MFT location toward a floor drain as mentioned. Since there is such limited adjustment in the one leg I had to make two shims from 3/4 plywood in which I bored a shallow hole with a forstner bit to create a socket for the leg to rest in and achieve the correct height for that leg. I fastened some 1/16" neoprene to the underside so they wouldn't slip on the floor but in reality the floor is not finished that smoothly that I have to worry about it. Adding adjustability to all four legs would be a vast improvement.

Your solution is basically what I intend to do, of course what happens soon as I move it someplace even in the same room? Now the blocks and such are all off.
