MFTC portable workshop

[Dick Mahany]

I am done except putting finish on the extensions and cutting the sacrificial fillers for them. it was a cool project and now I am planning to do the adjustable height multi function cart

Nice work looks like it will be very handy.  Great pics also.

Thanks Dick! My first set of picks were pretty cluttered looking, so I retook them.

Nice job...that will be a very functional work station...love the wheels!
What is the purpose of the groove on top of the cutting area...a drop in top?

I have yet to cut and install the sacrificial strips that will be the same height as the main work table.

I am done except putting finish on the extensions and cutting the sacrificial fillers for them. Rockler's had push release full extension slides which worked well on the drawers. I used Incra track which was pretty deep. It works with Festool sliding clamps. i think when I replace this top I will go to a 3/4" material, because there are some bench dogs that work better with 3/4 " thick material. It was a cool project and now I am planning to do the adjustable height multi function cart. I made my first threaded wooden insert to see if I would need to go with the carriage bolts instead, but I think I can make the wooden option.

I love the little tool rack, does that fit in the systainer?

I guess Tanos also liked Timothy's design for the MFTC....

Tim did win a Festool contest back in 2013.  The prize was every new Festool tool for life.  Hopefully he is just busy using his tools.

By pictures of it in use mode?  What’s it called?

 

[CirclDigital]

The picture was posted by a company that has one on loan for a demo tomorrow....

But it's already on the website:https://www.tanos.de/007/En/HOME/PRODUCT_AREAS/New_products/Mobile_Workshop.html

Interesting that they both come in around 32 kg unloaded. I wonder how thick the MW's top is?

I believe that Tanos is part of TTS Systems, the Festool umbrella company.

PS No, Festool do not make umbrellas !

Indeed, it is. TTS stands for ToolTechnic Systems AG & Co.

The picture below shows one of the new Festool items coming out in Belgium this autumn...
