Thank you so much for these videos. Festool should pay you big bucks because you are doing their job teaching us using PROPERLY these table. I hope you will get millions of views on RUclips compensate …. 😊
you are welcome....
This should have a gazillion views. I can go several months without using my MFT, so the setup details can fade from memory. I always rely on this video and your others for a refresher. Saves a lot of cash and headaches later on in the project.
Thanks...Glad I could help !!!
Thanks Sedge; always appreciate the refreshers!
My pleasure!
Sedge love this, especially the reminder on squaring the protractor head
Thanks Andy........ Glad you liked it
I really appreciate all your videos. Keep up the good work, please!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks Sedge, such good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Great job guys . These short videos help refresh all the rod bits you forget . I knew our business cards were good for something 😜
Thanks 👍... best business cards in the business !!!!
Been on the fence about getting the mft3 set but I’m almost convinced I can use this!
cool.. The MFT/3 is a great tool ...
I love my MFT/3 but honestly as I've learned more, if I was to do it again I would just make my own dog holed table and use that with accessories. While the MFT/3 is nice, all those attachments for the rail and stop take up a LOT of the table's space AND make it hard to push into a corner when not in use because they hang so far off the table. If you have a big shop with lots of room then it fits in nice but and IS very useful for crosscuts, but if space is at a premium it's tricky.
Excellent! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Good video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great one Sedge! Wondering I'm setting up my Festool shop and have 1 MFT basic with Bench dogs fence. I'm considering to purchase another MFT or get 2 of the MW1000 extensions tables having one on either side. Essentially I want to combine a table for crosscuts and ripping down sheets. Tired of the floor method to rip sheets and not wanting too do saw horses. Any thoughts?
that sounds like a perfect plan.......
I'm enjoying your videos, thanks for posting them. A quick comment on the accuracy of the table/holes/dogs: Those Veritas dogs are NOT all the same dimensions. I have 4 of them, all purchased at the same time. Three are close enough to be matches but the third is completely off. First, the dimension from the flat face to the opposite side varies by at least .03mm from bottom (cloest to the bench) to the top on all of mine. The oddball piece is .2mm undersized compared to the other 3. Across the length of the table that difference is the thickness of a piece of paper so not really significant but it is detectable.
Thanks Randy !!!! really good to know
Great video, a couple of questions. What would you recommend as a good square to use and how could we cross cut a 48” plywood or would that be better off table
Try this...tsoproducts.com/precision-triangles-squares/ptr-18-plus-precision-triangle/?ref=cwmk4ofe
I like the festool wall paper behind. Cant quite bring myself to work out how many saw tracks/ dollars per square meter
👍
I bought a used table, it’s a MFT 1080, no protractor unit. Is the CMS angle unit the same thing? If not can it be used on the MFT table? Great video as always!
The 1080 has a T-slot vs a V Groove which the angle unit for the CMS has...... It can be used on the MFT/3 table but not the older MFT 1080.... Hope this made sense ...Thanks Craig
Can you do a video going over older style rail guides? are there any limitations of old style rail guide vs new? I have an older style LR32 FS1080 and its missing the second track
Great Idea ....The big difference is the multiple clamping possibilities and extra accessories that work with the second rib/track
@@sedgetool That would be awesome. Suprisngley there is not much info on the older rails or at least i couldn't find any :)
Sedge awesome! I have a question on my CT36E. I have the boom arm set up and I love it. But I want to put a drop down hose and cord over my work table.
I want to be able to connect to these and disconnect at will. What hose or hoses and connectors do I need? I can’t find these on the website??? Please help!
lots to consider here ...but ... the new smooth hoses connect together with out having to buy connectors.......
@@sedgetool thank you for replying! Tom at Woodwerks helped me solve the problem! Well when I receive the parts I’ll know for sure. 😁
@@davidtroncoso9313 Tom is a GREAT guy...Tell him I said Hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!
New to this channel, how many rail guides are on the wall behind you.
a lot that were destined for recycling in 2007 !!!!!
Can you buy any of these parts separately? I already have the 1400 track, 20mm dog hole custom mft3 I built myself
They are not available as a whole hardware kit...but....all the parts to make one are available at the Festool website here

@@sedgetool thanks! An unrelated q about the AGC I’m eyeing to get - will it work at peak performance with the 4.0 hi/power battery I got with the impact driver ?
What's the minimum thickness needed for the right angle to set the MFT up like this? Woodpecker and TSO squares are basically sold out everywhere here, so I need to get an alternative. So basically what I'm asking is, how thick is the long rail with the stop on it? 😁
the thickness of the fence / rail with the stop is 12mm
What type of pouch is that that you have sedge? Looks like it has a magnet on it
Joe ... It is a prototype from @leatherbydragonfly ...it does have a couple of magnets... It is the best pouch ever ....and.... I hope it is on the market soon..... Patrick and Michelle are working diligently on it !!!
Hello Joe. Patrick here from Leather By Dragonfly. Brian is correct, he and Big D are are wearing a prototype called “The Sedgeley”. It will two very strong magnets, lefty or righty. So stay tuned . There will be a limited number run shorty
Is it possible to buy the cross-cutting parts separately from the MFT table?
the cross-cutting parts are not sold as a whole package ... but you can piece them out here

@@sedgetool thanks for the information.
Ha, A couple of good fellas
Thanks
I would want this at 48” for breaking down sheet goods that’s on advantage to the Kreg
ok
I’ve wondered how that can be done, so thanks for the video! I have started my own RUclips channel called Creative Custom Interiors (the name of my business) doing custom Cabinetry/Furniture, Refinishing, touchup and repair, restoration of antiques, dog chew repairs and more….
Thanks Michael !!!!!
Wouldn’t be that hard for the price of the table for them to throw the stops in on both axis. But great video Sedge
Thanks Tim.... Good point
You could also double up MSft tables
True that
Wouldnt it be better to adjust the rail rather than the square?
That way, if the square is square, you can rellference it for squaring rails to any mft.
I always reference the rail to the fence with a square ...always ends up with a perfect 90 on material
Yeah I tried to say adjust to the mft rail with a square. Meaning adjust zero on the miter fence to the table edge rail. Mismatch of terms on my part. @@sedgetool
@@sedgetoolthx; great channel!!
💯💚💚👍👍👍
Thanks Ian
Don't understand this. It seems to me you were adjusting the protractor to true 90 degrees. Not changing the rail at all. What am I missing?
the 1281 Square is on the rail and fence and the protractor head is attached to the fence so it trues The cut to 90
@@sedgetool Aha! Light dawns...
I used to wonder why the MFT came set up the 'Short Way.'
Then again I don't own a single piece of Festool. I'll be a Preferred Customer
by the time I die! 🤣
short way = short cuts = most common .....Hey Moe !!!!
Appreciate the video but man do they need some professional camera production. It would make these videos so much better.
Thanks for the tip !!!
