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 19mm Black Valchromat MDF, a 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 specifically 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: 19mm 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.
The size for the MFT Top is
1102 x 718 x 19mm
The max cutting area between the Quad Hinge Plates and the fence is 600mm
If adding a finish to your top, please read the datasheet here, Valchromat Technical Data Sheet - Click Here
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 - MFT Top Reamer

Le TOP du TOP
Emballage parfait, tout est pensé pour que la livraison se fasse dans les meilleurs conditions, et il est arrivé dans le sud de la France sans aucun accroc. Plateau MFT3 de qualité supérieure à celui d'origine. Il s'adapte parfaitement à la table MFT3 et le remplacement se fait en 5mn. Plus de perçages que celui d'origine ce qui vous permet d'avoir une largeur de coupe supérieure. Tous les trous sont chanfreinés. Pour le fun, cette couleur noire donne un vrai coup de jeune à votre table... J'adore. Si vous devez changer votre plateau MFT3, n'hésitez pas, foncez pour celui-ci...
Merci à Benchdog Tools pour ce produit

New MFT top
The Valchromat top arrived well packed and undamaged. I had problems with using the Benchdog fittings as the holes were marginally undersized. Spoke to Ralph who arranged for Ian to call with a new unit on Saturday afternoon!. The new top was perfect - what excellent service. The additional fixing holes make the new top very much more practical. Quality and design excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

MFT3 top
Extremely well made and finished off with all edges chamfered to protect the surface.
Yet to see how the Hinge system fits
Excellent piece of kit!!!
Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
UK, Europe, USA Woodworker know this is great tool and must have item.
Bench dog and fence and hinge system is well known in UK,EU,USA.
But Not Japanese Woodworker and YouTuber know and introduce "Benchdog Philosophy" at all.
I learned from Mr. Peter Millard UK, and many of USA and Canadian woodworking Youtuber.
And finally get this fence system, and much surprised of this Company Philosophy...and result in the Accuracy and repeatability!
I become the big "BENCHDOG TOOLS" fun now!
Now I ordered twice.
I trust BENCHDOG TOOLS's produt idea and quality and fast shipping!
Alminium/Plastic "Plug" needs hand support to push up, form the beneath of TOP panel as you imagine. "Magnetic MFT Plug" only can access from TOP.
Now I ordered another 100pcs plug.
I purchased from Japan, because the BENCHDOG TOOLS create GREATEST PRODUCT!! Maybe almost all of Japanese Woodworker or DIYer don't know BENCHDOG TOOLS. I will introduce Japanese Peaple!
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
