MFT3 trays

[pugilato]

I have been using the MFT to make some picture frames, and I have found something that is true for many other things... build it and it will get filled up.  So now the top of the MFT is full of quas dogs and clamps and stuff.  I think I read somewhere that someone had found in Kmart or Walmart a tray that you can slide on the side rails of the MFT.  I looked, but I cant find the post.  Can someone post the link, that is, if these trays are not a figment of my overactive imagination.

Unreal, three tables and not an inch of surface to use...

I think they were from Ikea.

bought mine at Wal Mart.  in the house hold section they have some metal screen trays used in drawers for silver ware etc.  they have a little lip that will allow them to slip on the rails

I can't find the thread here but it is on talkFestool.

The tray or baskets came from Walmart but I'm sure other store carry it too. The brand name and model was "Mainstays" Mesh Organizer.

There was a thread with at least a few posts on baskets which came from Ikea.  That's how I found mine. They could hang from the MFT extrusions.  I bought a bunch but they are at my cottage.  If anyone is interested I can get the model name from some packaging which I still have.

That saw parking station (reply#4) is a great feature -- I generally set my saw on a 5 gallon bucket beside the MFT but that would be much handier.

OK, the Ikea baskets I was thinking of were called "Bygel".

Works for this too.

I couldn't find the saw parking station ?

Do not buy the drawer divider metal trays for Rubbermaid. They will not work with the MFT/3 table. I bought a verity pack on Amazon and the would not hang on the V-grove.

I found ONE at Walmart several months ago, it works great. Since then I have check several times and it looks like they no longer carry them.

To my great disconcert, I have found this to be true.  Not Walmart, not Target, not B3, not Kmart... no one carries this item.  A day late and a dollar short.
