xMFT/3 setup

[Slartibartfass]

Just got me a second MFT/3 and based on the space in my workshop I have connected them on the short end.

Unfortunately my floor is pretty uneven so leveling the tables is a challenge....

I will get a 32" LS positioned base instead of the 25" one one the table to better use distance.

On the right end I plan to add the CMS-VL in the near future.

More add-on's...

Next is a CMS-VL. I also got another plain replacement fence for the Incra to be able to swap the complete router fence setup out when I use the tracksaw. Hope to avoid multiple alignment operations that way.

That pretty much concludes the MFT/3 workplace.

Only thing missing is a jointer/planer and wooden bandsaw (Grizzly.com) and than I have no more excuse to start precision woodworking....

I have the same challenge (connecting two MFTs with uneven floors)...was thinking of making some micro-adjustable feet that would go under each leg.  (I bought some replacement Festool adjustable feet (EKAT) but didn't realize I have to cut off part of the MFT legs to make them fit properly.)

Chris, in my case it's the college funds.... (Kidding). I was more following the Elven logic of buy now, worry later as I certainly cannot afford anything anymore when the first of 4 kids starts college in 2 years and than every 2 years thereafter.... ARGH! And Chris, DON'T screw up your wedding...... Making the wife happy is top priority.....

Better get up to speed with finish carpentry/building furniture (which I always wanted to do, but my house took priority) so I can start selling stuff to fund college....

Promark747, I just figured to use the 1515 profiles to increase stabilization of the 2 MFT/3's. I ordered some angle brackets from 80/20 and will install underneath the table on each long side. If you look under the MFT/3 the side profile on the bottom part is a normal extrusion with 2 indents. This should work. Otherwise leveling wasn't too difficult. Surprisingly there needs to be a small gap on one side between the tables for the holes to align properly all the way. I certainly recommend a long true edge to do this (in my case the blue framing level on the table).

Got the 32" version for the INCRA LS Positioner with the router base installed (u need to instruct during ordering to do this).

Now I can cover the full travel of the MFT/3 lengthwise. Still all rock solid.

For routing I will turn the base around the other way.
