My take on a large MFT with under table sysports, CT and boom arm

[fritter63]

So my comment, as I'm on my 4th house ownership... does it break down easy for moving?

I've found the movers really hate woodworkers....

Yes they do, last time I moved it took a 26 foot trailer to get all my tools, workbenches.  The whole house took 2 of those trailers.

On one of our moves, I was in the middle of building an entire set of kitchen cabinets for a friend. Needless to say it took several trips with the van.....

I really like that configuration!!!  Too bad that Festool doesn't supply the 2m profiles in NA.  Might have to find a friend in Europe soon.  My only issue right now is where to put it in a very small shop.

Shipping them is the problem - the extrusions are oversized for most parcel companies. I would've bought some before I relocated from EU to USA had I known back then

Shane indicated that these are not going to come to USA any time soon due to undisclosed reasons (I cannot fathom why the issue, wonder if it is also logistics/shipping related?)

This is awesome!! Brilliant idea to make a mega table.

Where/how did you order the "2M MFT/3 profiles" and "MFT/3 profile joining bars"? I'm relatively new to Festool, so still learning the tricks of the trade so to speak.

Unfortunately they are NAINA (an acronym you'll come across a lot on this site; it means Not Available In North America).

Working on logistics right now to bring some over...

5 years on and its still the centre piece of my workshop. Its rock solid and serves me very well.

If anything, i wish i had made it out of a quality cabinet grade plywood instead of melamine chipboard... the melamine is perfectly stable and works fine...but i think it woudl have looked nocer if id splurged on a materials upgrade!

Mine is on 6 heavy duty casters...i can move it around with little effort...and when they are locked it doesn't budge an inch.
