I may have a shot at a Woodpecker MFT Square. It's an overstock issue.

I use my Woodpecker framer square with Qwas dogs on my MFT to align the TS55 fence.

Is the MFT square worth the cost over and above the framer square?
 
I emailed Woodpecker about 3 weeks ago and they said they would put me on a waiting list, and contact me in October about any remaining MFT squares. They called me last week and I bought one, should have it later this coming week.

I cant of course comment yet on the MFT Square vs another alignment tool, but for anyone still interested you might shoot an email to Woodpeckers, or call them.
 
I believe that there is a thread here from a member who got one.  You might want to do a search and put the phrase in "" and then change the search parameter to 60 days.

I got mine about 2 - 3 weeks ago. I think the Square serves its named purpose extremely well. When I get to the point that I am making final cuts to length on a project, I now use the Square to check the squareness of the guide rail/fence. The Square is easy to use and it is truly square (at least a square as my eyes can see). So, for me, it is worth it for peace of mind that my cuts are square. If it only serves that purpose, I feel it was worth it, but I assume it will serve other purposes as time goes on. One other note. . . I thought including the hangar to hang the Square on your MFT was a bad idea, but I have mounted the hangar facing inward on the backside of the MFT so the Square is not sticking out and it can't be bumped as I am moving by the table. So, the hangar wasn't quite as bad an idea as I thought.

That's a wonderful idea!!!  Thanks. 

I like the fact that the square is adjustable to re-square it, should it need to be re-squared.  I also like the fact that I don't have to lower the rail to check squareness, given that this square is 1-1/8" high. 
 
Just letting you guys know that we made a layout Square which is ideal for Festool MFT table.
Our customers love it here in California.
It is a CNC cut and we made the Square from rigid Phenolic European plywood for durability.
The holes in the body are designed to accept clamps and also to make it easy to hang from the table.
