Making larger mft table

[white bird woods]

Hello all,

I'm considering making a larger mft table top and want to use the festool profile extrusions. I would need to be able to purchase some longer profiles for this purpose. I believe the longer profile rails are available. Does anyone know where to find them? I have tried the spare parts catalog and can't seem to find them in anything other than standard lengths...?

The longer profiles are no longer available in North AMerica.

Some folks here have had good luck ordering them from an overseas dealer.

here's a nice article about doing the big table from the official Festool parts:

Excuse my ignorance, I haven't looked at the mft table close enough, it's too cold in the garage currently and I am too lazy at the moment to go out there and have a closer look.

Wondering if the mft can be broken down into top, legs, and side profile/extrusions? If one ordered the 2m extrusions from Europe, could these simply be exchanged for the current front and back extrusions? Sides extrusions cannot be subbed out as the legs are held together with a connecting bar, so using a 4 by 8 sheet of mdf for a new top is out of the question, but at least a wider table could be achieved, 2 meters wide to be exact. Is this correct? Of course one would have to make a new top, but that is certainly doable.

I ordered the 2m extrusion profiles from Engineering Agency and received the package within three weeks from the time I placed the order. The package arrived badly damaged and I sent it back and now awaiting the package to arrive. This will be the fourth order that the Agency ordered from Festool and hopefully this time it will not be any damage. I placed my order 3 months ago and now the E. Agency will ship the extrusions in a wooden crate to prevent any damage. Be prepared to wait......hope that helps.
