About this deal

After a few different tops, I had nicked a couple of the holes in the template top and I had to deal with that during the last build. So remove the dogs and reinsert the dogs 100 times into that CNC machined MFT you had made and the apply pressure from different directions to the dog holes and then simply measure the pattern and you will find out that your perfect MFT is less than perfect.

I was watching the chap who designed the system's you tube on how to set it up and make your own boards. This combination square however is not accurate, it used to be but now it's out of square, and I can demonstrate that by doing the same test - here you can see the lines are not an equal distance apart. The exact placement of the track isn’t important as long as the uncovered surface is at least as large as the MFT top.I just secure it with dogs and a clamp, drill out most of each hole with a 1/2" bit, and then finish them off with a 1/2" pattern bit. The content contained on this site is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional advice. The positions D1, D2, D3, D4 of the fixing holes are configurable, thus allowing a tailor-made adaptation to your chassis and to different profile sections.

It was 1 1/4" MDF, which increases the drilling/routing effort in the first place, but the real kicker is that the F style clamps will not fit through the holes.After that they extend the template to a new area by using longer dogs to pin it to the holes already made in the workpiece. Some top protectors which will I can install so to create an air gap between the blade of my track saw and the table top so that I don't cut through it. If you went for standard board sizes (1200 x 600 for example) then you could set up that there was a drill pattern that could just include or exclude certain rows or columns. Then I could work my way down the top, row by row, using my awl to locate the jig in the first hole. For multifunctional tables and workbenches, the 20 mm diameter perforated grid system has become established.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.If I moved house and had a bigger shed, a basement where I had scope for expansion maybe the parf system would be a better idea. In this footage I'm moving the jig from the second row to the third row, locating the jig with the awl in the first hole of the third row, I can then measure the distance between the short edge of the top and the jig on both sides to get it positioned accurately, so because here I am on the third row of holes, the measurements from the short edge to the jig needed to be 200mm. The largest range of accessories for multifunctional tables exists for this, such as workbench clamps, bench dogs and other devices. I'm mainly going to be using the MFT top for cutting down sheet materials, being able to make square and 45 degree cuts quickly and accurately. I have no flexibility for the future but there is no room in my shed for anything bigger, the standard size is about the biggest that i can fit in the corner and walk around and I am small.
