Available space, working height, machinery, workflow and the type of projects you undertake can all influence what makes the perfect workbench. While standard-sized workstations are ideal for many workshops, sometimes you need something designed specifically around your space and the way you work.
That’s why at Benchdog Tools, alongside our standard range of British-made woodworking tools and MFT accessories, we offer a growing selection of custom and made-to-measure MFT products.
Whether you need a complete custom MFT table, a made-to-measure frame, a custom-sized MFT top or simply a CAD drawing to manufacture your own, our custom options allow you to create a workstation that works around you.
Our ULTRA MFT Table Builder makes it possible to configure a complete made-to-measure MFT workstation.
Rather than trying to make a standard workbench fit an unusual workshop space, you can specify the dimensions you require and build a workstation around them.
The system allows you to configure the main aluminium frame before adding a matching MFT top and supporting base, creating a complete workstation designed around your requirements.
This makes it particularly useful for professional workshops, home workshops, garages and other spaces where every millimetre of available room matters.
Whether you're looking for a compact MFT workstation or a much larger central assembly and cutting table, the custom system gives you greater control over the finished setup.
Already know exactly what size workstation you need?
Our ULTRA MFT Frame Builder allows you to configure a made-to-measure aluminium workstation frame to suit your required dimensions.
This gives you the flexibility to create a workstation that better fits your available space rather than designing the workshop around an off-the-shelf table.
For smaller workshops, this could mean making the most of a restricted area, while larger professional workshops can create a substantial central workstation for cutting, assembly and general woodworking.
Working height can be just as important as the overall size of your workbench.
Our ULTRA MFT Base Builder allows you to configure a made-to-measure supporting base for your workstation, helping you create a setup that suits both your workshop and preferred working height.
The prepared flat-pack system includes the required frame sections, brackets and fixings, with the option of floor supports to suit your chosen configuration.
It's another way of making the workstation fit you, rather than the other way around.
Sometimes you don't need an entirely new workstation - you simply need the right top.
Our Custom MFT Tops can be produced to your required dimensions, making them ideal for custom workbenches, existing workshop frames and bespoke MFT installations.
Available in Medite MR MDF and Black Fibralux MR materials, the tops are precision machined to create an accurate and versatile working surface suitable for use with compatible MFT accessories, bench dogs, fences and other workshop equipment.
Additional options allow you to configure the top further, including features such as a cutting strip where required.
This means your MFT top can be designed around the way you intend to use it rather than being restricted to a predetermined size.
Maybe you want to manufacture the top yourself.
Our MFT Top Custom Design Drawing service provides another option.
Simply specify the required dimensions and configuration and we can produce the detailed files required to manufacture your own MFT top.
The service provides a PDF drawing for reference together with a full-size DXF file suitable for CNC machining.
This is particularly useful if you already have access to CNC equipment or would prefer to have the finished top manufactured locally.
Options can include additional hole configurations and a cutting-strip position, allowing the drawing to be tailored to the intended workstation.
A custom MFT setup isn't necessarily about making something bigger.
It's about making it right for your workshop.
A made-to-measure setup can help you:
For professional workshops in particular, a workbench is more than somewhere to put your tools. It can become the centre of the entire workflow.
Getting the dimensions right from the beginning can make a considerable difference to how efficiently that space is used.
The advantage of a custom MFT workstation is that you're not simply creating a workbench.
You're creating a platform that can work alongside a much wider range of woodworking accessories.
Depending on your setup, an MFT workstation can be used with benchdogs, fence systems, hinge systems, guide rails, track saw accessories, clamps, support accessories and measuring tools, allowing the same working surface to perform numerous roles around the workshop.
From breaking down sheet material and making repeatable cuts to assembly, routing, sanding and general bench work, an MFT setup can quickly become one of the most versatile areas of the workshop.
At Benchdog Tools, precision is at the heart of what we do.
Based in Somerset, England, we design and manufacture precision woodworking tools and accessories for professional tradespeople, businesses and woodworking enthusiasts.
Our custom MFT products extend that same approach to the workstation itself.
Instead of asking:
"What size workbench can I buy?"
you can start asking:
"What size workbench does my workshop actually need?"
And build from there.
If a standard-size workstation doesn't quite work for your workshop, take a look at the Benchdog Tools Custom range.
From a complete Custom ULTRA MFT Table to individual frames, bases, custom MFT tops and downloadable MFT top designs, you can create a setup designed around your space, your projects and your way of working.
