I used the MFS to make the slot at the rear of the counter. The MFS will not fit with the counter in place. Had to use hot melt glue to hold the 1/2" plywood template in place. A 3/4" bushing with 1/2" down cut serial bit was used to machine the slot. View attachment 12View attachment 13

Nice work Tom!

it is pretty cool how that disappeared into the solid surface after setting it.

Thanks for sharing...

I'm glad it worked well.

If Festool had them injection moulded they'd be more accurate and cost next to nothing; it would be a nice addition to the kit of accessories you get with the MFS-400 and MFS-700.
