MFT/3

[Woodwork Wizard]

From 1 - 200mm using the CMS protractor on the side of the MFT/3 to 2440mm on each side of the guide rail. The right hand side is calibrated to the Kapex UG extension wing.

I use the UG wings or the 7 other MFT's I have to support the pieces. You can use the protractor and fences to add more points for stops farther out. I leave them back from the primary fence.

Hello Ian.  You are a Wizard!    I hope you will consider sharing more details.  I'd love to see more close-up pics of your assembly, including how you're attaching the extensions to the table and the UG extension wing, the folding leg hardware, assemblies, etc.  Basically anything you can share more details about.  Won't you please, and thanks so much for sharing in advance!  All the best, Rich

And more observations yet ... Just realized you put two MFT's together, binding the long-edges.  And that you also added an MDF block on the right side of the cut-line.  What's that for and how's it connected?  Can it easily be removed?  And the extra long fence you're using to the left?  Festool'IAN' was also a nice touch...  Thanks again, Rich

The table extensions - firstly a piece of 3x2 is attached to the MFT T-track profile with 3 T-bolts, this is permanently left in place on the MFT (photo 1)
The extension table is fixed to the 3x2 with 3 bolts in to threaded inserts in the 3x2.
The leg of the extension adjusts just like the Kapex UG stand with a bolt bearing on the leg (photo 2)
The piece of hardwood (photo 3) on the right of the cut is exactly in line with the fence and is a kerf marker and a depth set for the router. With additional flag stops this makes routing multiple repeatable dado cuts very quick, easy and accurate.
The UG wing MM scale is calibrated to the guide rail, though I very rarely use it.

Every modification is fixed to the MFT with either T-bolts to the T-track or threaded inserts and can all be removed very easily. 2 protractors hold the fence solid and I have a Slop-Stop installed on the guide rail.

If there's anything else you wish to ask let me know...

Ian, thanks so much for sharing!  This is awesome.  I have the wings for my UG cart but never thought to use them with my MFT.  I also never thought to calibrate my two tables for depth vs. width.  That makes for serious cross-cutting depth.  Thanks again, Rich
