Is the MFT 1080 compatible with the MFT/3

[gunksman]

Hey Festoolers,

I'm an architectural concrete contractor (counters, sinks, tables, tiles, etc) and Festool has become an essential part of my shop's operation. I'm looking to start acquiring MFT's for the wood working stations in preparation for a huge order  (500 pieces!!). Someone in my area is selling an MFT 1080 and I'm wondering if it is compatible with the newer tables. Portability is not a major factor because we rarely need to do sophisticated work in the field.

Thanks for your help. I love this forum!

Welcome to the forum. The new and older model tables are different heights and the parts (fence, rail hardware) aren't interchangeable so they are not compatible.

Yeah, I had to run out to the shop early this morning and was a little impetuous. Now that I'm back home with a beer and my feet up I see that this has been addressed ad infinitum. Next time, I'll do my homework first.

Cheers,
Mike

gunksman, They might work together if you are building concrete steps :
