MFT3 Infeed support and fence extension

[pgopinath]

I need some way to support 7ft long and 18" wide 5/8 slabs of MDF on an MFT while i cut 3" strips off one end.

Browsing around I found this photo. Anyone know what all the extra parts attached to the MFT3 are:

Thanks

I believe that those extra parts are the older version of the Kapex Wings. The newer version of the Wings will also work as shown.

You could stack some Systainers to 900mm and use it to support the material.

I bought an adjustable infeed roller for this purpose. Works great.

As mentioned, Kapex UG wings work.

I built a very inexpensive extension to my MFT3 using an extension bracket from Multiblades, some plywood, folding leg brackets from Rockler and some leg levelers.  Really easy to to put together and has already really helped me in the shop.

Thanks everyone. Some great options at various price points. Fastcap also makes Mft extension hardware at $25 each.

Dougnath: thanks for the pointer to Multiblades. I wasn't aware of them.

Somehow even with this extended MFT support thread hijack, it managed to stay on topic!  ;D
