Product Updates:
27.05.25 onwards - The MFT top material has been revised from 19mm Valchromat to 18mm Black Fibralux MR.
This change aligns it with the 18mm Medite option, ensuring consistency between both materials.
All I can say is, "Wow!" The bench is solid as a rock - and beautiful. I highly recommend this bench to anyone looking to get a top of the line MFT. The product works as described for storage and transport and sets up in a snap.
Good product but expensive if ordered from the EU.
As a mechanical engineer I think there is a small design flaw. When you attach the aluminum interface plate to the original plastic part this part bends because it has two small tabs at both ends. There should be a washer with the same thickness as these tabs between the interface plate and the plastic Festool part to fill the gap.
I purchased these on the strength of Ralphs demo, illustrating their compatibility with a small workspace. which after watching Ralphs demo, i was immediately sold! I found the original Orange clips from another company too shabby so i upgraded to Ralph's.
However... They are too fussy for me and i found myself becoming rather irritable during the removal and setting the height. The Gnarled knob placement flirted with my patience and when i'm dealing with the placement that is too close to the MFT Top, i'm trying not to lose my marbles with the amount of Allen keys i have to use.
The grub screws have destroyed my Festool track, leaving indentations all over it. They definitely need some rubber on the ends. (This is possible because the replacements that i bought from someone else have them)
Honestly, i just don't want to have to reach for these every time I need to adjust, it's time consuming. I have since purchased another brand and they are flawless. I don't want to name anyone because that wouldn't be fair, however, if you was to redesign your Hinge dogs with Zero tools needed to adjust with simple removability, I think you would be onto a winning product.
Sorry BD UK. i'm not sold on these at all. I wish i could send them back but i've used them, so i will have to sell them on, as they are too frustrating to use. (FOR ME)
Please try to appreciate my review as constructive criticism that could help solve these inflections.
