Once i used my 20mm dog hole top to rip and crosscut with a new Festool saw, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Cutting every cabinet piece in half the time with .25mm measurement accuracy and absolutely square. And the edge finish is spectacular - a smooth veneer edge and the saw cut is smooth as silk. I still use my table saw but there’s no comparison! Just added a hinged rail (Not festool) and everything is even quicker!
Nice build! Do you know if the 80/20 rails you used are similar enough to the rails on the MFT table to allow you to be able to attach and "flip" the track saw track on your table? It would be very nice to be able to basically build a larger, but full "Festool functional" MFT table... Thanks!
If you try to design a new drilling guide to print, try integrating a bushing for the bit to ride in. Maybe try to replicate the Parf guide system. I picked up some drill bushings from Lee Valley for a 3D printed portable drill guide I'm hoping to find the time to design and print one of these days.
I’m building one with the 80/20 brand aluminum extrusion. It’s the 1530 profile - meaning 1.5’ x 3’ so it looks exactly like yours only it’s 1.5 x 3” instead of 1” x 2” You said the Festool clamps don’t fit. My Festool clamps and Bessey clamps fit the 1.5” profile perfectly. Also,instead of getting. CNC top, I bought the Parf Guide system for marking and drilling the 20mm holes. The whole table is square wihin 1 mm.
A few questions please. What is the base height of the cabinet. Then how much height is added by the MFT top. Lastly will the track saw be able to configure to the new MFT top. Thank you.
The festool track saw attachment from the festool MFT does not fit on this table. However you can use the dog holes to make crosscuts and angle cuts with a track saw and some dogs.
Yes I have heard of those. I mainly use the dog holes for clamping and holding work down. I don't need them to be square because I am not making cross cuts with it.
hah, you weren't using the Domino for alignment. You were using it because it's cool and you wanted to use it, so you came up with a reasonable excuse.

You added the dashboard hinge rail didn’t you? You slick man!! 😀
Awesome video and woodworking skills!
Thanks!
Nice build!
How do you get rid of the dust that gets trapped under the top?

Very nice! Definitely has inspired me to get my MFT build back on track. THANKS!
That's a clean build, definitely going to try to build one myself.
What are the specs on your end line rotary girder?
Very nice design. But did you get any “bounce” in the MDF since it is suspended by the aluminum rails and only held down at the corners?
Excellent work

Nice work man
Good job !👍
Thanks it was a fun build!

That is awesome! and great to know. Thanks for sharing that info with everyone!
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Would you happen to know if the Micro Jig Dove Tail clamps would fit that aluminum t-slot?
I am not 100% sure but I dont think they do. The festool ones I have don't fit unfortunately.
Would you sell the print file. Im in South Africa and importing those corners is not a option. I can get them printed locally.

The base cabinet is about 32 inches I believe. The MFT top adds 2.75 inches.
i must build one myself cost festool MFT is too expensive
Have you ever heard of the UJK Parf guides. Not sure what the purpose is of the top if the 96 mm holes are not exactly square?
Yes I have heard of those. I mainly use the dog holes for clamping and holding work down. I don't need them to be square because I am not making cross cuts with it.
Teton Woodshop respectfully, making a mistake in long term thinking/usage of the top. Though I think your 3D printing was pretty cool.
Is the cross brace necessary? Will it sag without one?
It won't sag just sitting there but if you put pressure on the middle it would for sure.
Is there a source that supplies the already made corner brackets?
McMasterCarr has some you can purchase. They are a little spendy though.
Could the corner connections be modified to work with other profiles 3060 for example?
They could! Email me if you want a custom size.
@@TheBizik29 I did email you the other week. You said it would be a lot of work?
Bought the 80/20 Inc system profile - 1530 which is 1.5” x 3” and the festool and bessey sliding clamps fit perfectly
