IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION AT BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
Our MFT (Multifunction Top) is not only precision-made and versatile but also thoughtfully engineered to enhance its usability and functionality in woodworking. Manufactured using a state-of-the-art CNC machine with advanced tool change technologies, each top is crafted from 18mm Medite MR MDF, a moisture-resistant and durable medium-density fibreboard. This choice of material ensures long-lasting stability and resistance to warping, which is crucial for maintaining precision in a woodworking environment.
A key detail in the design of our MFT Tops is the chamfering of all holes. These holes are precisely machined to be 20.08mm in diameter, making them perfectly compatible with the Benchdogs Tools Range of accessories. This compatibility allows for the seamless use of our MFT Plugs, facilitating a secure and precise fit. The integration of these plugs, along with the Benchdogs accessories, enhances the functionality of the top, enabling woodworkers to securely attach and align additional tools and jigs, thus expanding the range of possible applications.
Key features of our MFT Tops include:
1.Precision-Cut Holes: Each 20mm hole is precision-cut and chamfered to accommodate our MFT Plugs and Benchdogs Tools Range accessories, ensuring tools and accessories fit securely without any play.
2. Quad Hinge and Fence Systems: Including machine holes for our Quad hinge system and offset holes for the Fence system maximises the working area and allows for versatile setups and adjustments.
3. Durability and Stability: 18mm Medite MR MDF ensures that each top is robust, moisture-resistant, and maintains its form under varying workshop conditions.
The benefits of our MFT Tops for woodworking are numerous:
Enhanced Accuracy: Each top is meticulously checked for accuracy, and the precise fit provided by the chamfered 20mm holes ensures that measurements and cuts are consistently reliable.
Increased Versatility: The ability to use MFT Plugs and Benchdogs Tools accessories with the chamfered holes allows for quick changes and setups, making the top adaptable to a wide range of tasks.
Optimised Workspace: Strategic placement of systems and features maximises usable space, improving workflow and efficiency.
These features make our MFT Tops an indispensable tool for woodworkers who want to elevate the precision, functionality, and efficiency of their workspaces.

If you are sealing or Varnishing the top, please be aware that this may cause inaccuracies in the holes due to the thickness of the coating applied. To overcome this, a BD reamer would resolve the hole size issue. This can be found here - https://benchdogs.co.uk/products/20mm-mft-top-reamer

I've been using several MFT3 tables ganged together for many years. I've slowly replaced (or simply removed bits like the bulky protractor) the Festool accessories for better quality products. Based on conversations with other cabinetmakers, internet searches/reviews, the Benchdog fence looked like the perfect replacement for the OEM fence. I'm glad I went with the Benchdog fence system - once zeroed it produces precise results. Very happy with the purchase.
If the shipping costs could be reduced (a depot in the USA or Canada for North American customers?) I could see Benchdog becoming a company I'd put high on my list of suppliers
A very crafty and useful add-on equipment to a palm router (Dewalt, Milwaukee etc) precisely manufactured. As with other products of Benchdogs, highly recommendable !
Dear bench dog,
I have just received my 175mm carpenter square and I am really impressed with its accuracy, pins for forty five degree angle and its finish.
The packaging and delivery by royal mail to Melbourne Australia was exceptional.
Thank you and will be promoting your square at trade / technical college.
Regards
Mick
