The Parf system is expanding just like the universe. Well done Peter.
Hi Penny, I may not have a space rocket but that will not stop new ideas coming. Cheers. Peter
Thanks for the update Peter - such a good system & nice to see that the development & support for it continues! 👍
Hi David, Many thanks and there is much more to come.... Cheers. Peter
Peter - absolutely brilliant. You have developed a terrific tool.
Hi Skip, Many thanks - the number of people using this family of tools is amazing. Many thanks to you and all of my other supporters. Cheers. Peter
Good evening just saw your interesting video because I was abroad. Thanks for the update.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was pleased to learn that those of us in the US can get these new Parf products straight from Axminster. While TSO has a small selection of UJK Parf products (and some solid unique products), US customers can get all of the Parf products delivered in a week with free shipping at a non-so-bad $120.
I had assumed that there would be a large premium to order from Axminster to the US, the prices are very reasonable. In fact, I think if you want to get a more affordable MFT type bench, ordering the UJK Multifunction Workbench is a good idea. If I wanted an additional MFT surface I would probably get that. Or maybe just buy the UJK HDF Valchromat Top.
Hi Kyle, The strength of the dollar and the amazing deal that Axminster have for overseas delivery makes buying from them very competitive. Their customer service is also second to none. Peter
Just finished laying out and drilling dog holes for my DIY outfeed table using the UJK Guide System. Amazingly accurate....brilliant concept Peter!!!
Thank you so much for the brilliant feedback. Cheers. Peter
Great new additions. As always made to a very high standard.
Hi Barry, Yes, and I am told that they are selling really well. Cheers. Peter
Wonderful Peter
Nice kit!
Nice set Peter!
Hi Dave, I use them a lot and they work very well. Cheers. Peter
You must have been watching me, I have just been making a new MFT (style) cutting station for my mobile board handling set up and this is exactly what I need, keep up the good work Peter
Hi Derek, Yes, we have spies everywhere !! Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop of course it was with the parf guide system MKII
Brilliant. Peter
Another brilliant product. I'm currently researching MFTs and plan to build one in the not-too-distant future. I find my table saw impractical for cross cutting most of the pieces I find I need to cut. I also like to work to an extreme level of accuracy, often far beyond what is required and I hope that the repeatability of an MFT can help with that. I was also thinking about mounting my router lift in the MFT, so that in combination with the various fences and other accessories it could double up as a giant router table.
Hi Ashley, I have nothing against the concept of the MFT3 except that the tops may not be accurately drilled. For a perfect MFT top use the Parf Guide System and then you will have accuracy to at least 0.002 of a degree. Cheers Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop Thanks Peter. I have no intension of buying the official Festool product, I'm not a fan. I'll either go with a Parf Guide system or get a CNC cut top. I intend to customise it a fair bit with some added t tracks, custom side rails and the aforementioned router lift. Keep up the excellent videos.
Cheers. Peter
Peter, very useful thanks very much. I do find it strange that Axminster no longer sell the sheets of the orange coloured MDF without any holes given that they sell the ones that have been predrilled. I did ask at one of their shops as to why it had been dropped and they didn't know the answer. Having bought your parf set from them I would have thought it would be sensible for Axminster to offer the MDF sheets ready for people to design their own table arrangement using your excellent system.
Hi Godfrey, I think it is to do with shipping costs - you should be able to buy the HDF or Valchromat from a local supplier. Peter
4:17 Headmaster alert
I understand exactly what you mean and have to confess that I was once a "Headmaster" but in another life ! Cheers. Peter
The Domino 700 comes with built in spring loaded indexing pins, three either side of the cutter, which allows you to do more or less the same without the need for any additional tools. I don't think the Domino 500 has the same feature so for anyone looking to buy a Domino machine it might make sense to get the 700 if you are not already using the Parf system but want the same ease of accurate repetitive cutting.
The sping loaded pins on the DF700 are very good but the DF500 ones can be awkward as they are a different design. If you are working close to an end then the pins can be made to work but if you are working on domino slots down the length of a table leg (or whatever) then the pins are no good at all. Peter
New subscriber to your channel and enjoying your videos. I watched one of your older videos and noticed that it looks like you have external roller type shutters on your windows? I’d be interested to hear about them because I have some South facing windows which make a couple of rooms virtually unusable on the hotter days and I’m looking for a solution to that
We had Weru windows installed bought from Germany. The hand cranked roller shutters kept us cool in the summer and made the house just a little safer whilst we were away. Weru have a UK agent (in Preston I think). Peter

Have you (Axminster) considered selling a pre made MDF top cut with the same layout as the one you showed in this video? I appreciate it couldn't be the full 8x4' sized top, but a similar size to the standard Festool MFT top.
Hi Ben, I will invite Axminster to consider it but my fear is that it would have to be CNC created and hence not as accurate as one created with the Parf Guide System. Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop Why might a CNC cut set of holes be less accurate? I would expect the opposite to be true.
Woodworking CNC machines rarely monitor tool wear and are known not to be re-calibrated very often. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop That’s complete nonsense. How disappointing.
Do you have to twist the top 1/8" to lock them or can you twist pretty much the entire top? It's hard to tell from the video.
Just the top little bit. They are really good and I am going to use them more than the others. Cheers. Peter
i'm confused, if you have lines marked on your workpiece, what is the value of the stopblock. It does not provide repeatable cuts because you can still move the domino.
The side of the Domino machine is always held against the side of the taller dog. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop 👍
Is the Track Saw cutting station for sale?
No, you make your own using the Parf Guide System from Axminster. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop I'll have to look for that. Thank you.
Lovely stuff but I do the same with scraps and screws and get great satisfaction from it.
Hello Peter, hope all is well. I am not sure where to obtain your email address from to ask you a more detailed question about creating an mft part system for my bench set up I am trying to create. Are you able to provide this as there are no links in your profile on you tube? Thank you Nick
Hi Nick, Just go to my RUclips top page, click on "About" and then you will see my email address. Send me an email, stating the plans that you need and I will send them to you. I am told that it is better to use a PC rather than a phone to find the email address. Peter
I'm curious, has anyone made a parf plug? While i love my dog holes, I've built them into torsion box tops. It's not practical in my tiny shop to cover my surfaces, so I'm on the hunt for a proper plug solution. I'm thinking of rabbeting every hole to give it a square recess and then turning plugs out of delrin to fit, maybe embedding a screw in each one so that i can pluck them out with a magnet. but if this already exists i'd rather just buy it, haha!
