MFT 3 needs stabilisers.

I skipped the MFT and bought the Dashboard PWS after reading lots of similar threads on here. Once Matt swapped his three MFT’s for dual dashboards on his amazing assembly table, I ordered immediately with all the trimmings.

The Dashboard PWS looks really nice.  It costs twice as much as my used Festool MFT.  I think the MFT is a good compromise for a hobbyist woodworker like me.  If I was a pro and used it all the time, I would get one of the Dashboard units.
I did add the side pieces.  The improvement is not as dramatic as the long struts.  Still worth the $5 cost and one hour to make.
