Although I am highly satisfied with the MFT in general (it's built like a tank), I'm pretty disappointed that it needed to be adjusted right from the factory. The preset stops were about 1/4" out and the track wasn't perpendicular to the fence. I found this out after making the initial cut in the table and rail. I set my work piece on the table and saw the cut would be angled. I followed the Festool set up guide to the T, but they mention squaring the table as if that's not a normal thing after set up. So, be prepared to verify square after you put it together. I do enjoy the flexibility it offers with the clamping holes and differing rail heights. It should get plenty of use making wide crosscuts in plywood now that it's dialed in.

I have a small shop for building cabinets. For me, one table was just a bit too small. My main purpose was to cut sheet goods for the boxes quickly and accurately. Anything over 4' long, you can't use stops for repitition. I have two of these attached together, both with miter gauges and tracks attached. With both, I can easily cut all my box parts at every length and it makes very quick work of all my cross cutting. Then when it comes to making faceframes and doors, this table is awesome for assembly and sanding. Sanding, sanding, sanding... I'm always sanding. Also, by joining two together, they are much sturdier. When I first got in to Festool, I thought the table was overpriced and I would never get one. Well, now I don't know how I ever functioned with out it.

I've used this in combination with the TS 55 to make many of the cuts I would typically use a table saw for in breaking down sheets. I like being able to make repetitive cuts and the multiple clamping options available. I still haven't purchased all the festool clamps yet and have been using other branded clamps instead. I think this table is most useful with the festool clamps. Still a pretty solid surface for a portable workbench.

I cannot believe that I am the first to review the MFT/3. This is such a useful tool, I don't know where to start. Maybe the best perspective is too look closely at the four edges of the table. The ability to use quick clamps, and all of the other fine Festool devices in untold combinations, makes this the most versatile table ever devised! I have just begun to grasp the potential. The top of the table, with the holes, miter gauge and track saw guide allows one to accomplish tasks much more precisely, quickly and more importantly SAFELY than ever before. I have built a lot of things. I only wish I would have had this table a long time ago!

This table has proven to be the perfect size for clamping items to be sanded, routed and for glue/clamp combinations. Very stable and when outfitted with the accessories it has awesome versatility. I use it with my router sled and plunge router for fluting with total confidence that the work will remain secured. The perforations in the table make for many clamping options for any shape.
