Hello colleagues

I want to show my way to drill MFT holes precisely if you don't have LR32 guide or good quality pegboard. Just tablesaw and a router

I would like to get your opinions

 
Very nice execution of some brilliant ideas. The original grooves could also be cut using a plunge saw with rails if you didn't have a saw bench, the only difficulty would be positioning the rails precisely enough. I also looked at your other videos in this series and I like the way that your 4x4 bench expands into an 8x4.

Easy just use 96mm wide spacers clamped to the bench, make a cut then add a spacer , butt up the rail make another cut and so on :)

Yes, I think for big sizes of tabletops better to use plunge saw with guide. Positioning could be made similar way - need to fix 2 tape measure on the beginning by clamps and each time remove and put it on place again - I think something like that. It should be pretty accurate way also.

My second level of the workbench appeared very useful - thank you for appreciation.

Hmm... It looks clever. In this way may not be mistake at all. But need to spend some material for this.
 
Clever method and nice execution.  A plunge router bit would eliminate the need to predrill the holes.

This work may be done without previous drilling, I did it to make milling easier.
 
Very nice, I went to,your channel and really like your take down table. Any plans for it ? Would like to make one like it. Thanks

Yes, all plans below videos in descriptions.
