MAKITA Router Adapter for Makita / Festool Track Guide Rail Quick Change TWISTLOCK DRT50Z, XTR01Z, RT0700C + Katsu. So I loosened the bolt, squared up the table, and tightened it again, and then it looked much better. Heavy Duty: The wooden workbench top is made from MDF and is perforated, so comes with pre-drilled holes. There are also variations in the thickness of the paper surfaces, some is thin and some is more like 3/32"/1mm or greater MDF like product. The second group wants to reproduce a MFT surface that becomes a critical alignment surface using dogs and dog holes to align Festool rails to cut critical angles and to attain picture perfect fits.

What I’ll do is get the screws off the original MFT top in preparation to put our jig on, and fold the table legs so this can be lifted up out of the way. Since the method described does not rely upon wasting any of the MDF, you can make three MFT/3 replacement tops from a single sheet of 4' x 8' MDF. Feskit – Engineered by necessity, is located in the South West of England and prides itself on small niche tools and fittings for the Kitchen Industry and alike. I'm going to use a 20mm auger bit, this set is by Irwin and you'll find links to this set in the description box below if you're interested. And then I added a round over to the top edges of the trim, this is going to make the edges more durable.

If I moved house and had a bigger shed, a basement where I had scope for expansion maybe the parf system would be a better idea.

Making your own top with the Parf guide does take time, but I am confident the 10x20 hole pattern in my 1x2-meter worktop is as accurate as any woodworker could need or want. I made that cut using my tracksaw with my speed square guiding the cut, and again, this is a speed square that I know is accurate and reliably square.If each top lasts a three or four years I will be in my mid seventies before it would be cheaper to make my own standard tops. It's a good idea to clamp the ruler down so that it doesn't move but I didn't bother I was just extra careful. dog hole diameters, aluminum/stainless/delrin (all have different rates of thermal expansion) dog outside diameters along with dog hole locational distances, why would you think that this is in any way a precision guide to cut precise angles? And for that, you’ll have a super-rigid 2ft x 4ft / 600mm x 1200mm torsion box MFT worktop with dust extraction and a replaceable top. Then for me I do not find just having the 20mm holes makes for a complete setup for me so I also route in the dovetail slots for using microjig clamps and fitings which transforms the whole experience.
