mft-sys/sys plate

[johninthecamper]

I started thinking this morning( dangerous thing), if festool makes it available in europe and now people own them.that means tanos makes it! tanos eu website lists a sys-plate#80101549.then I call frank ,from tanos n.a.,he's say tanos only sells the plate, not the whole systainer. leevalley#68k4427 @$35.00.retail shipping for this in a couple weeks.this is a great thing for someone with a broken lid.me I don't want to wait till spring for the n.a intro as the mft-sys

John,

It's not the same thing. The MFT top that Tanos now sells is just a piece of ply with routered lugs on that allow it to be fixed on top of a classic systainer. It is not compatible with t-locs. See Here.

The new sys1 with MFT top that Festool now sells is a completely different animal.

I guess its not the magic substitute.other ways to use it though, that the mft sys can't do

got order in from lee valley, most useful on the vac. borg's and sys mft are better.

lee valley called me yesterday,apparently the holes are tenth of a mm to small.they are sending me replacements.this is one of those times that exceeding exceptions has made them the great company to do business with.

this tops festool customer service, which I didnt think was possible.lee valley calls me today,since the  sysplate is not going to be sold,I can't have a replacement.so instead of four for two,its two for zero.way cool
