MFTC portable workshop

[Timtool]

Wow! This would fit into my workflow perfectly since I pretty much do all work on site. Please update this thread when you have the sketch up file available in imperial units!

About that, could anybody help me out a little?
I was thinking about adapting the model to imperial size sheet goods and see how that impacts the rest, but keep all the rest in metric. Otherwise if i want to avoid impossible dimensions i would need to redo the whole model to get rounder imperial measurements.

Would that be acceptable?

And are 1/2 and 3/4 the common plywood and mdf thicknesses?

1/2" and 3/4" are the most common plywoods here.

What type/brand of T-track is compatible with Festool clamps?
I have only very small ones, clamps don't fit.

Make that 31/64" and 23/32"

MDF is usually closer to nominal thickness ie. 3/4" is actually 19mm

Don't have any 1/2" MDF on hand.

I checked two different tracs.
Incra does work
Kreg does not work

I was very impressed with this from the pictures - having just watched the video, even more so.

Even though I don't do much site work, I'm toying with the idea of building one anyway, just to give a bit more versatility to my small workshop!

What a great set up, huge bonus being able to have multiple extension tables for site work

 

[jimbouk]

I'm trying to work out how to adapt a sys roll into one of these!

 

[Tinker]

I have been toying with the idea of making a narrower table with systainer shelves under the entire unit.  A portable/colapsible extension like Ron Paulks table set up.  I really like the idea of putting n open shelf under one end of the portable/colapsible table. Tim's ideas are even better fit in my shop.

It's only been out for a week, but a few buyers already told me they were gonna start next week, some even told me they were gonna have the parts CNC'd with he sketchup file!
I'm still working on an imperial add-on, is it true 1/2 inch mdf is not commonly available?

The big boxes and at least one independent near me do not carry stock 1/2". But I have no trouble getting it if I order through my primary independent lumber dealer.

Tim,

I have been practicing building things with metric instead of imperial and am starting to like metric better.  However, I still think in terms of feet and inches and often have to look at my tape measure that shows both to know how they correlate.

Not sure it is necessary to put out plans in imperial?  Wonder how many FOG users would not buy the plans if they are only metric?
