MFT Hinge System CTW With Table Plates – Close To Wall Version Taking our popular Quad MFT Hinge System With Table Plates one step further, the CTW – Close To Wall...
The standard hinge system is ideal for repeatable, accurate 90° cuts on an MFT-style workstation, but some workshop layouts need the table positioned closer to a wall to save valuable floor space. The CTW version solves this by allowing the hinge system to be mounted the opposite way round, using a new dedicated support plate that gives the hinge the clearance and support it needs when the workstation is placed close to a wall.
This makes it a great solution for compact workshops, garage workshops, home hobby setups and anyone who wants to maximise their working space without losing the accuracy and convenience of the Benchdogs Quad Hinge System.
With the CTW setup, your guide rail can still hinge up and down smoothly, while the revised support plate allows the system to work in a reversed orientation. It is designed to work alongside our table plate system, keeping the hinge system securely mounted to the workstation while giving you a more space-saving layout.
Perfect for use with our Benchdogs Fence System, the CTW Hinge System helps create fast, accurate and repeatable 90° cuts, making it ideal for cutting sheet goods, panels, cabinet components, furniture parts and general workshop projects.

Why Choose the CTW Version?
If your workstation needs to sit against or close to a wall, a standard hinge layout can be limiting. The CTW version gives you the ability to reverse the hinge position, allowing the rail and hinge system to operate correctly while keeping the workstation in a more compact footprint.
This is ideal if you are working in a small workshop, sharing space in a garage, or simply want to keep your ULTRA MFT Workstation pushed back when not in use. You still get the accuracy, repeatability and quality of the Benchdogs Quad Hinge System, but in a layout that works better for tighter spaces.
What is the Hinge System?
The Benchdogs MFT Hinge System is designed for accurate and repeatable cutting on MFT-style workstations. When used with our Fence System, it allows you to create reliable 90° cuts quickly and consistently, making it a valuable upgrade for any precision woodworking setup.
The hinge system allows your guide rail to lift up and return to position, helping speed up repetitive cutting tasks while keeping your rail aligned with your workstation and fence system.
The system will need clearence beneth the dog holes for the CTW supportr plate for the shafts to move freely.
