this is way better than anything the festool team germany has to offer in the form of product videos. the man should be the head of product support worldwide. thanks!
Why doesn't the MFT include a replacable "sacrifice" strip of timber where the track saw bites into the table top? Lots of people make this modification - so why not supply it built in?
Brian Sedgeley is a terrific trainer. He shows us how to do things in a memorable way. He’s also very entertaining. Thank you Brian for all you do for us.
I’m about to pull the trigger and get one of these in the next month. It’s sooooo hard to not go ahead and pull the trigger now. I can’t wait to get one.
I bought an MFT3 when they came out. Ended up working out of state. Now I have retired and this was an excellent refresher. I have been using my track saws all along.
Thanks so much for explaining the setup of mft. Great teacher.
Learned something new about setting up my table. The back rail lock has always been a bit tight on my setup. Also bought the extension when it came out. MARVELOUS!!!
Normally I comment about Brians over exuberance however tremendous demo this one. 33 minutes of a very excellent run through. Well done you.
Great video. I recently purchased an MFT/3 and love it. Keep up the good work!
I purchased one MFT3 and one basic because of this awesome video, my cross cuts are super accurate and fast, thank you guys! And thanks for answering questions in the end, really helps.
Big high five from Denmark. Such a informative and entertaining session. Keep ‘em coming 👏👏👏
Like this guy's energy. Good video. Love my two MFTs.
Brian, man... so much energy, definitely a sales person. Usually it's too much for me. But I'm learning so much from these videos. These videos have been working so much for me. So much faster as well than reading trough forums and trying...also good, but this is better
Thankyou tsir for this very precious information.Great to optimize one knowledge of the best tools!
thank you love this so much i have seen you from your first one brilliant thank you paul from the uk
Very instructive video. I like especially "stops" on the plastic lip (not cutting all the way on the rail) and the 90 degree calibration. What could also be done is to calibrate (0 setting) the fence towards two bench dogs. Then you measure and adjust the rail to be 90 degrees to the fence. This way, you rail will be calibrated to the holes and you could use bench dogs (when needed) instead of the fence.
Thanks Brian. I love my Festool tool's. I have become a Festool snob
All hail Sedge! Keep up the good work buddy. Any company would be ecstatic to have upbeat positivity he shows for the whole Festool line.
Heck Sedge showing me the Domino demo in Vegas and saying it was "wicked awesome" was enough to get me to buy it :D
I love festool, is the best Tools !!!!🇧🇷
Bought the MFT/3 specifically for the protractor head and fence. When properly calibrated it allows predictable and repeatable cuts both 90 degrees as well as any angle required. It also makes beveling the full length of a table leg much more precise than the table saw jig I used previously.
------ for those who watch or rewatch the live event(s) on Utube it would be nice for the camera to record from the same angle as the live camera rather than off to the side.
Because of this video I just bought MFT starter kit. 🎉
Great video folks. I hope you guys also do a video on the Vac-SYS and demonstrate making the bracket that you have on the side of the MFT. And if someone has a way to use the Vac-SYS system with a vacuum bag please list the hook-up details here.
Please keep making the Festool live videos. I have been watching at least one a day since I found them!
Everyone stay safe! Use that T-Loc sanitizer!
Ron
Good detailed review. I guess I’m going to have to go through all of the vids in order to get the story on the piece of track on the top shelf that looks like a Hot Wheels switchback track.
Fantastic video Bud !!! I am new to the channel as well to Festool. TY
Nice job again.
Great presentation
Sorry. I bought the complete MFT/3 table with the protractor and crosscut track setup. I found it so fiddley and impossible to keep true (just bumping the rail can easily throw the thing out of square) that after 6 months of never being able to trust my cuts I got rid of it and now rely on rail dogs and an aftermarket crosscut rail attachment. They work great and I built a kitchen full of cabinets with the square-cut precision of a cabinet saw. cheers. I do appreciate your videos. Thanks.
Festool is fiddly and the tables are cheap as hell. I hated the miter saw table.
Thank you!
Thumbs up...Thanks for sharing! KANSAS
.
Good Job.
Thank you guys for this, I bought my MFT/3 years ago. This session made my setup so easy now. Dados and crosscutting made VERY EASY
I have my MFT 3 on the way to me. I get in a week. What about squaring the rail and mitre to the holes? Without out that square you not able to use bench dogs and other things with the rail and fence.
super video
Is there any way to get a replacement for what you called the "guide rail"? I thought it was the fence. Mine was damaged after my last move.
I am Alberto Gomez from Medellín Colombia I am fascinated with his master class in Colombia who sell this complete kit, table, machine, rail or guide with its necessary accessories to do a good job of cutting. Very best regards
What would you do to set up to do 48" plywood. How to set up for it. I can do it on my Kreg table but just got my Festool MFT/3 and having a problem trying to fit it. Also want to put a additional MFT linked together. What do I need to lock them together. TY
Hi! Very informative video and looking forward to buy one, just quick question, can I cut the height to incorporate to my Sawstop as an outfeed table to minimize my small space? Thanks so much
May 2022 - I bought the MFT/3. The product is great however the fence clamp I have is not the same as in this tutorial. The lower lever for attaching to the V-Grove is round, small, and plain pain in the butt tightening over and over. With that in mind, is there a part # so I can have a lever instead of round knob to tighten to the V-Grove?
Got a question about the mft/3 setup. Once u set it up and square the protector, fence to 90 degrees, then I take it apart to store it, do i have to calibrate again to 90 when I put it back together to use it again?
Question, do I have recalibrate my track saw when I use different festool rails? Bought the MFT3 and my saw was loose on that rail
Nice, Want to have all the tools like Fesstool is there give away for this tool
Does anyone know - why can't you use the dog holes (which should be in perfect alignment) to register the fence and track at 90 degrees to each other? If the dog holes aren't perpendicular to the table edges or the track/fence that would seem to defeat their purpose.
5:29 What’s the deal with the guide rail bent into a U-shape and the pumpkin on the sustainer stack? 😅
Do I need 2 tables if I want to process plywood and make cabinets, assemble cabinets, and repair tables, chairs,
Hi does this work with the Makita rail?
What happens if U accidently move the factory set stop on the front side?? How do you re-calibrate it. Asking for a friend😉
Le escribo de Medellín Colombia estoy fascinado con su clase es magistral yo deseo ese kit completo mesa, la máquina, el riel o guía con sus accesorios necesarios para hacer un buen trabajo de corte, donde lo compro y cuánto me vale. Saludos muy cordiales
It's like being at a carnival. And he's the barker from Boston.
Not sure how much calibration is done at the factory. I noticed his table has the same issue as mine did out of the box. The factory installed stops were not even. Notice how one end of his straight edge is covering about 1/2 of a dog hole but the end closest to the edge only covers about 1/3. I wanted to be able to use bench dogs in mine as well and have them be square to the guide rail so the first step should probably be to “home calibrate” the stops. Otherwise I have been pleased with this table. Makes cutting repeatable and accurate panels very easy. I also use it with my OF1400 for very accurate dados.
I have owned one of these tables since they released this model. I use my dogs from the clamping elements to set my guide rail and then adjust the stops to this new setting. I then use the dogs to set the fence square to the rail.
where can i buy a cotton Festool shert
Can you do a kapex calibration?
Just noticed at 05:29 the curved and bent rail guide on the top of the shelves behind him.
So if u want to put a guide rail the other way around (perpendicular) like i did... There are no knobs to align the guide rail, so make sure u have a hammer and patience to calibrate it.
Does anyone use the mft for rip cuts?
And Peaple from The Netherlands
How about a SawStop Live session?
This guy should be doing Oxy Clean informercials. He'd be awesome at it.
Great content! But PLEASE do something about his microphone overdriving the input - we're getting digital distortion and it makes the video hard to listen to on a good sound system. Maybe it's just a matter of the sound check - make sure you're under Unity Gain when he's at his loudest.
thanks so much cant wait until July for the Re modeler Kit
oh my God oh my God just take me now festool>>>>>
I love the video series and really do appreciate the time and effort that Festool has invested in producing it. However, I'd like to offer what I hope is considered a constructive criticism. The presenter -- who is fantastic -- is directing his attention to the 'B' camera rather than the 'A' camera. In effect, he's speaking to someone off-screen rather than directly to "me" (we the viewers). This may seem like a minor quibble, but it's the difference between being fully engaged with the presenter and products or watching from the sidelines. I hope this is somewhat helpful -- and thanks for suffering through the well-intentioned rant :-)
Do they make this video in English? 😉😊
You could hear him across the world
Great Videos- so much better compared to the lame videos from Festool Germany 😂
I wish Festool would spring for some acoustic treatment and/or a better sound tech. I find the sound quality in these vids very shrill to the point of hard to watch. And I do want to watch. I just started down the slippery Festool slope and the possibilities are endless.
Video starts at 3:10 you're welcome.

I am a sculptor. You need more clamp options than you have.
So I need $5000 worth of tables... Got it I'm on it.
The replacement MFT tops should be way cheaper.
为了秀而秀，简单的东西复杂化。
Very instructive. You can stop the snapping of your fingers, not helpful and distracting.
You should be talking to the landscape camera, not your mate. It will flow better. He should be a camera man, the guy whos filming. The tables are only as good as the substraight that they are stood on. Connecting tables together outdise will be difficult I would imagine...
Ok helpful but jeez could you have invested in some microphones?
Deflecta
He sounds like the curly waitress from Cheers.
Dude, great info, but your camera work is horrible! Figure out which camera you talk to. it’s annoying watching this video with you looking at another camera!!!
Appears that the preparation for this video was minimal, not instilling confidence!
Festool Cameraman, at 5:34 you start showing some disinterested Festool worker sitting to the side,
with his head on his hand. Don't Do That! It will look to your Boss like you don't know what you're doing!
You'll thank me later!
Hello Brian, I like Festool and have multiple 18V tools and other accessories. But here my comment. Yes, you can make an MFT tabletop with the 32 distance with the right tools easily. You are a trainer salesperson, that's good, but don't tell something is more difficult than it is. You don't need to do that, you have Festool behind you already.
You don't need to lie so we buy Festool tools. Don't make us craftsman look bad.
You are a professional Festool user or are you a gimmick? Are you the one giving Festool haters the argument they like to use? Festool is a gimmick? Make jokes if you want, but don't play down what we can make ourselves and do it good. Yes Festool is expensive more than is needed. Yes I like Festool tools. Gif us a proud feeling, don't boost the Festool hatred because you are incompetent, because you can't make your MFT tabletop shine. I can, so can you. Don't play us down because you want to sell Festool replacements.
Habla demasiado y no va al grano
I just want to make a cut he says expended an hour setting up as if he shooting a rock to the Moon. Mr NASA woodworker.
Cut it already
Why masks now and not before? Lol
Why would I want to go through so much work to setup a tracksaw, cut into a table top and use shop space just so I could make the same cuts the Festool Kapex will make without a bunch of repositioning? This system makes no sense to me at all.
Because miter saws can't make long cuts?
Is there any point in having your 6ft stick or banging on about social distancing if you're not going to practice it during the video? After the first couple of minutes, the people filming with their phones are constantly in the shot and stood within a couple of feet, sometimes less. Yes, the info is great but please practice safer social distancing (even if it's just for the video).
my god calm down😂
they work together i can assure you they are closer then 6ft all the time
I am a fan of Festool, but I gotta say that having the employee sitting in the background, looking down at his phone the entire video takes away from what is being presented.
I believe he was monitoring the comments and questions for the live stream. (at least that's what I tell myself to avoid being bothered by it also)
It would be weird except that Sedge mentioned at the beginning- it’s Brent Shively (from many of the how to videos), monitoring and answering questions as they come up online. I sorta like the casual down to earth approach of these festool live videos.
Festool charge hundreds of dollars for a screwdriver and they can't record decent audio from theses clowns?
A joker.
I wanted to watch this video, but this guy is really annoying.
Take you 21 minutes to set up and cut this board, what a waist of time
Never mind all the social distance and staying safe nonsense! This is about tools not politics!
Dude! Wear your mask. Respect your coworkers - we’re going to be able to hear you just fine.
