VAC-SYS Shop Made Bracket For The MFT

[cortes]

I just got the vac sys system. Looking around for ideas on how to mount it to my mft table, I found a video by The Poplar Shop. He said he got the idea from someone on this forum. It was originally from Festool in the Conturo manual. I looked in that manual online, but didn't see any mention of it. The bracket allowed the unit, the vac sys, to be mounted to the side of the mft table. I tried a seach. Nothing came up. Any idea where the plans are for this bracket? Here' a link to the  video.

From the video description it pointed to the Australia Festool document site. Download the Conturo doc and look at page 72'ish.

That looks simple to build. First make the profile for the V grove on a table saw. Then it is just a flat board glued and screwed to the profile you made, with a couple bolts and hand knobs to make it mount solid to the table.

Here was an earlier discussion on FOG that gives more details starting at reply 24: http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tools-accessories/sys-vac-question/msg456461/#msg456461

I just got the Festool parts to clamp the jig to the MFT. The specified knob, part number 482110, is way too short to clamp a 23mm board to the rail. With a decent amount of threads in the key you loose 7mm of the 16mm threaded length. I just ordered the 486202, which has a 27.5mm length. I'm going to use 3/4"(18mm) plywood.
