I apologize ahead of time if anyone has posted something about this already.
One of my favorite MFT accessories is the table extension. It's a necessity when cutting long sheets of ply. It seems that the extension was one of the unfortunate compatibility victims in the MFT3 changeover. I was toying with the idea of getting some aluminum to create an extension that would allow me to raise the height of the extension. Fortunately, I realized there was a much easier fix. All it requires is some scrap 1/2" ply and a couple of new 1" long bolts with square nuts (FYI I had to lightly file one side of the square nut in order for it to fit in the track).
The problem:
A new bolt and an old bolt:
Insert 1/2" ply scraps after installing new bolts:
The result:
Works like a charm! Enjoy!
