Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know that I would use it with the MFT on its standard mobile legs...?(even with the adaptor that solidifies the legs a bit more from racking , I wouldn't trust a router on those table legs...even a little shakiness would scare the living tar out of me---maybe I'm alone on this...but I'll be alone with all ten fingers in full!).
I'm going to steal ideas from you to install something similar in my custom table (with really beefy non mobile legs that don't let an ounce of shake into the tabeltop
)
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE MY MFT for certain things...and it would be fine if you took the MFT and put it on some solid legs.

Thanks.
The black thing is wood. It's called Valchromat. Really cool MDF with colored fibers. I'm currently building a drill press table out of the same material with an Incra fence as well.
Valchromat
About safety.. Yes, I agree with you. My next project is a welded steel frame for my two MFTs. They will stand on Zambus casters.

@gl: Yes, the hole grabs sometimes. Rounding over the top of the holes (ever so slightly) solves this problem. I'd say it works okay, but it is not optimal for precision work. As for precision work - don't count on the MFT top for rigidity. You have to support it from the under side for it to not flex (we are talking tenths of mm). I'm actually building a new router table with a home made lift. The new table will have a frame of Rexroth profiles (similar to 80/20) and an MFT-top without holes.
@bkharman: Have you considered the Incra Track system for your CMS? This will give you great repeatable precision.

Hmm.
I might have misunderstood. I thought you meant CMS as in Compound Miter Saw. I'm building a SCMS station myself. The only missing part is the Incra Track which is in the mail.
But if you mean using a TS55 in the Festool CMS table I think that the LS positioner would be perfect as a fence.

CMS-VL/MFT. My Incra jig base is held to the MFT to by brass knurled bolts into threaded inserts. Takes me about 2 minutes to swap fences.
