Second MFT or this one ...

[Raf]

Dear,

I am thinking about a second MFT ... but then I saw this table in the Netherlands ... is anyone using this table ?

When I would buy this table I will spray it in black and green ...

That looks amazing - possibly even better than an MFT...

Just looked at the website (www.walko.nl), and it seems to be within the same price bracket as Festool, too!

I agree !

I am very happy with my MFT but I was looking for an allround table to use on location (not in my shop).

I think I would give it a try, unless I hear some bad comments on this post ...

It looks very nice indeed, but the background music in the movie is truly awful  ;D

There are a few of them offered secondhand on marktplaats.nl

Maybe I'm missing something, but how did you find a price?  And is this for sale in the U.S.?  I found some English on the Walko site, but haven't had much luck finding a price or dealers (the dealers link I did find seems to be broken).

That looks very nice.  Lots of flexibility.  But there was something in the video that interested me almost as much... 

There's one point in the video where the guy pulled out what appears to be a quick clamp, removed an end, stuck the bar though a bench hole, and clamped down a board.  Is that feasible?  Would that damage the hole?  Are there adapters that help you do this?

Thanks,

Dan.

That looks like a great table, I would love one.

But I guess UL will hold that up.

I don't think UL approval is mandatory, is it?

In any event, it's great to know it isn't available here!

Wow! Looks great!

Many questions . . .

Since I can't read the website, how much does it weigh? Is it likely to be available in NA? What does the larger version do compared with the smaller? Would the holes be consistent with the MFT? Perhaps this is a std size table hole in Europe?

That really is an awesome table and one that I would use in my garage with the MFTs still ruling the roost downstairs in the shop. Fred

How the heck did you figure that out from the website?

I don't know if I can go through this again with yet another phenomenal European tool.  I guess it's some consolation that they cant get it in England or Wales or Australia (or can they????). : ;D

 

[Eli]

Looks gimmicky, but when I get sick of mine I'll forward it to NA ;D

 

[Dave Rudy]

The utter frustration produced by NA unavailability is exceeded only by the gracious charm of our friends in foreign lands -- even some of our own former NA'ns.

When you get over the gimmick, please send it along (I'm desperate, not proud!) -- I'll promise to do a complete review so everyone else on the forum can enjoy it too.

 

[Eli]

No seriously, it looks pretty cool. Haven't seen those here, we'll see if we can get our hands on one....

That's a good idea, I'll see what I can do.
