Piece of 3"x2" held to MFT with T-nuts. 3 x screw-in inserts to hold MDF sheet top to 3"x2". A section of a ladder was used as the leg. Very stable in use and the extensions are set up in minutes. 3"x2" attaches first then the top gets screwed to it. I now have 2400mm to the left of the guide rail and 1400mm to the right, though I do use 2 x MFT/3 tables on their own trolley. Using the MFT/3 like I do I have 915mm crosscut capacity or if ever required 1080mm using the fence clips rather than the protractors to hold the fence right at the back of the table.
The right-hand side of the guide rail is calibrated to the Kapex UG extension scale, the left hand side uses 2 x MFT/3 fences with measurement scales attached. The fence with 2 protractors holding it along with 4 bench dogs living behind it has never gone out of calibration on me, I have a-zero clearance wooden fence and I also use a Slop Stop on the guide rail.
This thing makes large cabinet building easy, quick and accurate.
