Missing Extension Table for CMS-VL MFT/3 Router Table Set

[iamnothim]

I can't believe this, but I just unpacked a huge box with my CMS-VL MFT/3 Router Table Set and the extension table was note there.  Has this happened to anyone else?
My MFT/3 arrived as well.  It's hard to miss a part like the out feed extension.  I looked through the mass of cardboard many times.  Heck It all should be in the same giant box.  All purchased through Amazon. 

I am a hobbyist and have owned the 55 plunge saw forever.  In the last month I've added the CT Midi, OF-1400 and 150/5 sander.

Just contact your dealer.  I ordered the CMS a while back and it was missing a few things, Uncle Bob and Shane took care of it.

VL doesn't come with out feed table. Just slider.

Correct.

It won't work because the dimensions of the VL are different from the GE model.

Both the Festool VL Product DescriptionFestool "VL" product description and the Amazon VL Product DescriptionAmazon product description state that it comes with a Table Extension"

This is not good.  I have 2 ft. before the stock falls to the floor.

I didn't read that web page.

That Amazon description is wrong.

So is the Festool DescriptionFestool Description

Not to mention the pictures showing the Table Extension.

Sadly, after looking at my table, I see why it won't work with the VL.  The leg telemetry is off.  [crying] and  [censored]

Moving on... I thought the white nylon screws behind the right fence were for adjusting vertical square.  Mine is off about 1/32"
When I removed the right slider I saw that the nylon screws were recessed and nowhere near the sliding fence.  I tried to adjust them and, like most nylon screws, the heads became munged up before I could advance them near the fence.

Many thanks

The images showing the Extension on that Festool page are of the GE. You are correct, the description is wrong.

I'm just a dumb hobbyist.  That said,  I think I just paid more for less.

Here's why I buy from Amazon and use my Amex:
Today's email from Amazon.....
1. A partial refund of $390.00 to your credit card and you may purchase the item either locally or from the merchant "Festool".

2. A free replacement. In this case, we'll send you a free replacement and also we'll arrange a pick up for the original item at no additional cost.

I think I'll take #1.
Now I can buy that Lie Nielsen plane I've wanted.    No.7 or No. 4  ?

Wow, I did not know Amazon would do that, $390 is not bad.  I have used their exchange service and it was great.

 

[tbellemare]

What's the $390 for?

I am a dumb hobbyist as well and knew that the VL was the one for me. It is less than the GE and I wanted it attached to my MFT.

It is also wider than the GE on indeed and out feed and never felt the need for a small extension table.

Now onto the $390 as Tom mentioned...  What is that for?

 

[iamnothim]

What's the $390 for?

Tom

Because the description was wrong and the item I purchased was not what was described in the listing.  They knew it would take a lost of cost and effort to pack it up and return it so they offered $390 if I kept the product.

New CMS table issue.   The the CT dust extractor "Y" adapter does not fit my CT Midi.   Is there a part that will make it fit?

I had Amazon give me a credit on a damaged in transit Makita planer, the top handle was broken but it did not affect the machine. Don't remember if it was as nice as this 30% refund!! I would presume it is soooo much easier for Amazon to give a credit than to arrange for pickup and pay freight to get the CMS back! And, hopefully, they have a happy customer as well.

I am speechless.

Sorry about Toby.

Continuing on with the dumber hobbyist theme.
I ordered the VL because it was $300 cheaper than the GE......  Being an idiot, I didn't figure out why until it was in transit.  So, heck, I might as well get an MFT/3.  The MFT/3 Set arrived yesterday and I'm learning about both products.

Sorry about Toby.

THANKS. Me too!  :'(

I got my CMS from Tool Nut, last November, here is how it sits today! At least you are getting yours out of the box!!!
