Router Blade coming up from below through one of MFT/3's perforated holes

[Ribick]

Thank you for continued patient replies to this newbie's questions and interest.

An answer to a prior question I asked featured a link to one of Youtube's Kriss' Fast East Tool channel's videos where his router was likely upside down, and its blade popped up from below through one of his MFT/3's table top perforated holes.


Peruse the US Website for Festool though I may, I cannot locate the hardware or methodology for how this--what must be a trivial orientation setup for you guys/gals--is done.

Would someone share with me the magic here?  I certainly get how a router could ride the track on an MFT/3, while holding the work piece stable, to produce, say dados.  But I am at a loss as to how the reverse arrangement: keeping the blade in one place in the X, Y, and Z axis, while moving the work piece, is effected.  In other words--how is the router stabilized in such a position.

Many thanks.

Actually, I just found a video where Kriss, the very guy whose video sparked my curiosity, covers how he effected this router placement.

I am glad you found Kriss's post on the mounting of the router, and thanks for posting.  It was the one I had wanted to post for you in the other thread but couldn't find it at the time.

Many folks have spent a lot of time putting together some great videos on the use and operation for which I am very grateful (Thanks to everyone on the FOG).  The FOG is a great place for learning and passing on information.
