Hi, here in far away New Zealand, we don't have easy access to all the 3rd party MFT dogs made in US or UK, so I wondered if Festool themselves made them yet and did a search on the Festool International site and figure my local dealer should be able to order them in stock.
I came across this SYS MFT set which shows a pair of low profile bars that fit the mft holes and some small bench dogs. I have never seen or heard anyone mention these before. I have the standard festool mft rail clamps and the other clamps but wonder what the other small dog clamps are like?
Not sure if I would need a complete set as this shown since I have the other clamps anyway but I m interested in checking out the bench dogs at least.

These look like the parts available from Veritas / Lee Valley. (Assuming you mean the ones circled in the image below)

Ha ha, yeah mate, you're most welcome to come on down! [smile]
Yep they look identical to the pics you've posted. I'll pop into my local festool dealer later and have a check see if he has any in stock already or can place an order. I like the idea of those bars and small dogs.
 
I had the opportunity to look at this set today and actually get them out and look them over. The thing I liked was the low profile bar stops are connected to magnetic 20mm dogs with a t slot affair.
Correction, not magnetic. There is an "O" ring that is fitted into the collar of the top of the dog.
This means that if you have built your own multifunction table as I have and not conformed to the 32mm  grid....which translates to 96 mm centres per hole, you can still use them! The holes in my table are 4 inch centres and the bar will work seamlessly with it!
