MFT 1080 Top Hole size

[msw]

Can any one tell me which router bit size to use to bore the hole for the MDF top I am making for my MFT 1080

20 mm

I have this festool bit but when I try to see if it match the size of the hole it did not go through

The newer tables had slightly smaller holes - maybe 19.75 mm. The older ones were 20 mm... There's a thread on this somewhere here. Maybe one of Qwas's?

If you have an MFT (or an MFT table top bought as a spare part)

clamp the 3/4" MDF on top of the MFT, then
drill 13mm holes using a brad point bit at every wanted  hole location
from underneath the MFT top, then use a 1/2" copy router bit
from above the MDF piece to

That way, you have exactly the same hole diameter as your MFT top,
whatever it is ...
