Veritas Fence Guide Dog for MFT

[Dick Mahany]

I've grown tired of the Festool plastic clamp brackets not reliably holding my MFT 3 fence in position.  I'm also not going to go the two-protractor route that works well for some due to space constraints and cost.

I found these relatively inexpensive anodized aluminum dogs from Lee Valley that have a flat milled on the upper body.  A quick cross drilling on the drill press for an M6 bolt and nut yielded a solid and simple solution.  Now I just need to locate a couple of holes further back on the top to give a little more cross cut capacity.

Do you have a link to the dogs you used.  All I can find is the Kit and I wouldn't call it inexpensive .http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/Page.aspx?p=70681&cat=1,43838,43845
