MFT/3 Replacement Table top Cut in 18mm Moisture Resistant MDF Multi Function Clamping Table

Product Information

Special focus should be placed on the accessories that hold the workpiece in place on the workbench. Next I took my combination square and set the fence at 100mm, and then locked it down nice and tight, and I'm going to use it to find the centre point of my jig by making a cut mark with my marking knife, then flipping the square.

My jig is going to be made from an offcut of 18mm MDF, the stuff I'm using is veneered, but I'm just using that because it's what I had to hand. 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. As I said, I’ve had very good results with the Festool 20 mm bit in my OF 1400 using the LR-32 system.There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. The dimensions are perfectly matched to the MFT top and it has these 5mm holes on this side that are parallel to this edge. Quote from: Crazyraceguy on March 01, 2023, 05:10 PM The main piece of advice I would give to anyone planning to make their own top is to apply the finish before drilling/routing the holes. It can be a bit tricky to drill large holes in to MDF because as the drill bit bites in to the layers of laminated wood, those layers can kind of tear, and that means the bit gets clogged up and stops biting in to the wood to drill properly. The Makers Workbench is supplied with a standard 150grit finish, leaving the striking black/grey and wood fibre core exposed.

Sacrificial cutting strip, just pull it out and stick another one in when your cuts start getting a little ragged.

The upfront investment is not trivial but once you have the jig you can use it to make as many MFT style tops as you want. Our Universal MFT Replacement Top is made from Compact™ 88, which is a 88% Waterproof (12% maximum Absorption, Maximum) High Density Fibre Board. So with the router off, I place the bit in the drilled out hole, hit the foot switch make a couple of circles and then turn off the router and wait for it to stop to move it.
