Looks fantastic Ralph, what a genius design 🤩😀👍
Are benchdogs still doing a trade in for older rail squares as still have the mk1?
Great, my MK2 for Maffel is now obsolete😅 As a Mafell owner, i can't complain to much since the competitors have ignored us for YEARS!!!
Thanks for continuing the innovation!
Just orders mine.the extention is a great idea. After having my tools taken from my van a couple of weeks ago this has arrived at the right time.
Awesome thank you
Could you add a bevel to the side facing the material and add ruler markings?
Likely couldn't add numbers due to all the different saw clamping method but it'd be handy in a pinch to line up with a marking on a board
The markings are a good idea which is why we have the repeat stop, all tracks are slightly different sizes so the repeat stop is the better option as it calibrates to the track.
I have the MK2 - not a fan as the ‘cams’ constantly come loose - this looks like a better design.
The cams are completely useless. It’s a really well made otherwise and a precise square but useless cause it slides with the slightest pressure. They should give Mk2 owners a huge discount on this new one. I’ll never buy anything else they make because of it.
@@f.kieranfinney457 I wouldn't say useless. We have many customers with the rail square and love it, but we have noticed that the extruded tracks are not the most accurate pieces of equipment. You'll be surprised what 0.05mm will do and the tolerances we have had to deal with, hence why the butterfly clip which pulls the track to the reference edge .
I's say the mk2 is almost useless due to the cams. Really not good for a ~£100 bit of kit..
@@f.kieranfinney457 Totally agree. Mine is pretty much useless.
@@Benchdogtools if the cams had been made adjustable it wouldn’t matter. Just a little slot to slide the cam closer.
The irony is I looked at the butterfly clamped types and thought cams should be better. Jokes on us. The only feature that IS useful is the adjustable stability tab and now it’s gone.
Why even sell something you knew had issues with tolerances you understood to be problematic? Letting your customers beta test or just soak up the flawed R&D costs is a pretty shitty way to do business.
“We knew it didn’t always work but sold it anyway”. Thanks.
MkII owners should get a massive discount if they’re dumb enough to buy another product from you.
Brilliant design Ralph, you’ve got to be onto a winner with this 👌👍👏👏👏👏
Good to have a system that can be used with many different systems so that you can change.
If you were to put a dog position in the extension piece you could use it to cut 22.5 degree. If there was a slot into which you could clamp a dog you could repeatably cut a range of angles.
This isn't an upgrade, it's a corrective response to a problem that previous buyers are experiencing. Why not make things right with those customers first?
Would this work with the Ridgid track saw ? I think they are the same parent company as Milwaukee
Great looking product and informative video. I really tried my best to purchase this along with the Quad Plate for my Incra LS Positioner. Unfortunately Benchdogs doesn't accept American Express credit card and the shipping to the the United States was $66. So I now need to look into other options... too bad because I think alot of people in U.S would prefer Benchdogs over TSO and UJK products.
Love the square but the cans do not securely hold.
I've recently taken delivery of your rail square repeat stop bundle, it's excellent. But regarding this set up ......... TAKE MY MONEY NOW!😂
Great to hear!
Make those screws on the clasp captive.
I know the MK3 has a dedicated repeat stop. But will it also work with my 2.1 fence?
The repeat stop is a separate item not used with the fence together. The rail square will still work with the original fences.
@@Benchdogtools fence is indeed what I ment. Good to know. Thanks for the quick reply.
When crosscutting full 2400x1200 sheets, would the ultra square on its own be enough for a square cut, or would you recommend the extender?
I wouldn't think it is required as I have had great results without it but some may want that extra reference edge that why we came up with the attachment.
I have received mine this week and I am very impressed with it. I have the repeat stop with it, and once set up it does make the repetetive cuts simple. Superb Job from Benchdogs again
Thanks for sharing
Such great tools you guys make, love my squares, and all made here in the west country, brilliant thank you
Glad you like them!
Very nice design Ralph. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Game over… 😉
😂
Looks like with the Dewalt raili with square attached doesn't lay flat on the table anymore because of the Butterfly lock is in the way; Are you planning on any changes for that?
No that’s how it is. Unfortunately due to Dewalt and Mafell design it’s how it is. Unless you have cams. Will not get in the way of using 15mm plus size.
Well done Ralph, constantly innovating 👍🏼
Many thanks!
Wouldn't those 'wings' make it hard / impossible to see if the square is flat against the workpiece?
So as you now only have to produce one product and not many, will we see a price drop in the new one.
I think £99 is a fair price for a rail square that fits so many tracks.
I'm happy to pay premium for the hustle you've just saved me with having to own two! If you ask me you could mark it £199 and I would still buy it. The Ultra Max extenders are brilliant. Can't wait to lay my hands on MK3 and start slicing through it stuff.
@@BartoszTabaka other rail squares seem to be around the 90 to 150 so 199 seems a bit high
It's not £99 though is it. Once you add tax and vat it's closer to £140 or higher. I hope you don't take things personally and can listen to your customers Ralph. Full transparency on the price would be more helpful before checkout and not a little header on your page. Just the full price, like Axminster tools, FFX, D&M Tools, Festool, well every other tool company in London, Scotland and Wales 😬
Is this going to change as you grow?@@Benchdogtools
As we ship all over the world we believed that showing the prices was the better way to we will be changing this over soon and have to shut the store down to make the change. So I would imagine early part of 2024 we can make this happen. But bear in mind the prices are still going to be the same price at the end.
You are a genius! I have bosch tracks. Can i use my track clamps with this new mark 3?
Excellent stuff 👌
Don't like that you no longer have the square+systainer only option, instead of only a "loaded" option. Not a fan of clips, either.
This wasn’t a popular option but we can add it in again, it’s no issue at all. Clips work really well. We have worked on these to the right tension plus to achieve the multiple tracks the cams didn’t work with this scenario.
Will the MK2 for Festool tracks still be available?
We feel there is no need for the MK2 now we have the MK3
You don’t want the Mk2. It’s crap.
@f.kieranfinney457 why or how is it crap? I don't have one, but do want one for my mafell, read only good reviews, would love to get your opinion?
@@samsonacc8081 the Mk2 uses cams to lock the rail on. They don’t hold. Just a slight tug , which you HAVE to do to set the rail square, and it slips. They acknowledge here that the slight variations in manufacturing of the guide rails lead to this and they knew it before it went on sale. That’s not cool.
@f.kieranfinney457 Strange why none of the reviews mention that, incl threads on well known forums which I value more than youtube reviews.
Which guide rails are affected? I presume festool/makita style more so than mafell?
I do understand where you are coming from, but I am not sure if I completely agree with that point of view in this case.
What's replaced the slide bar to stop it tipping?
I don't need an anti-tip bar, as the wings on both sides hold it in place along the whole edge.
Looks awesome! Will it work with the new Ridgid tracks?
We’re are waiting on some measurements of a track to confirm this.
Cool! Fingers Crossed. @@Benchdogtools
Really not happy about having to shell out £140ish (with taxes) to the UK?? I live 2 hours down the road from where you ship from for gods sake. How can you charge £99 and screw the UK buyers with unnecessary taxes?
Do you know everyone has to pay VAT? If we export the country where we ship to also pays taxes when they receive it. If you care to read to website where it states that we only display prices without vat and it will be added into the cart. No matter how we display it you will always pay the same price. £99 plus vat £118.80. You also have to pay VAT on shipping. Unfortunately not our decision it’s the government. We will be changing the way our website works in the new year to show prices inc VAT so not to confuse.
@@BenchdogtoolsIt literally says Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout and yes I understand how VAT works. I was wrong about the £140 so I apologise, it's £126 with the shipping. Just a bit annoying that it doesn't show as simply EX VAT/INC VAT on there - I am clearly not the only one who finds it annoying or you wouldn't be addressing it next year! Still looks like a great product that Id purchase theres not enough love for Mafell tracks
