I too, like thousands of others in this forum am making a MFT. However I’m looking at attaching with HD hinges to the long side of my 150kg Bluegum traditional woodworking bench. The proposed lift up, folds down leaf will be about 1550 x 800. I’ve had it machined on a CNC with 20mm holes at 96mm centres (pretty sure it’s 96mm, can’t quite remember) out of 18mm MDF.
I was thinking of some 80/20 around the outside with maybe 2 support pieces at about 500 intervals underneath. I was thinking of sitting the MDF on top of the 80/20. Also 2 legs on the side not secured to the bench that will fold up when the bench is not being used.
So... where have others bought 80/20 from in Australia (I’m in Adelaide)? I’d like to make it as compatible with standard Festool parts as possible, and would like to build it properly. Also, where can I get help designing it so I only have to buy the parts once!
I already have 2x1400 tracks for my TS75, bit don’t have any other bench hardware.
Thanks in advance
