Festool MFT 3 BROCHURE

1 table.
1000 possibilities.

The multifunction table
MFT 3: arguably the most
versatile worktop in the world.

Tools for the
toughest demands

Ready for use everywhere: the new MFT 3

For some people,
simply a table.

Practical for laying down tools and papers. Or for
making quick notes. Just like all tables. But you expect
something different from Festool: Tools and accessories
that facilitate your everyday work, developed by experts

for practical applications, and which t into the Festool

system perfectly. And all of this in the highest quality.

This is why a table from Festool is not simply a table.

For others it is arguably the
most versatile worktop in the world.

Modular work with the new MFT 3.

CMS module

The new MFT 3 is a lot more than just a table. It is a work surface that
makes absolutely precise work possible. For example, with its guide rail
and angle stop. Screw clamps and clamping elements also have a secure
hold on your workpiece and the MFT 3 extension can be used to connect all
modules from the Compact Module System CMS and many CMS accessory
parts. And because Festool has a system concept, it is also compatible with
the new vacuum clamping system VAC SYS. In short: a table with 1000
possibilities.

The new MFT 3: versatile, precise and mobile.

Flexible work on a
secure base.

Precise results.

The guide rail can be set to different material thicknesses and
guarantees precise guidance of the Festool jig saw and hand­held circular saw or router – for exact results. You can also
safely position and align your workpieces at the angle stop for
processing at the correct angle. Repeat cuts and even dupli­cate production are also possible with the help of the stop
slide.

Ergonomic and cost-efcient work.

The work height of 90 cm makes ergonomic work possible,
which is also easy on the back, even for taller users. Further­more, the multifunction table MFT 3 can be folded away very
easily and is thus ideal for use in the workshop and mobile
on-site use.

Maximum support.

When sanding, planing, bonding or routing with templates, it is
important that the workpiece is held rmly on the table – irre­spective of whether it is large, small, angular or round, the

MFT 3 offers you precisely this exibility. The perforated plate

allows you to clamp the objects to be processed simply and
quickly on the table top with the clamping elements optional.
Screw clamps are additionally provided for vertical and hori­zontal clamping.

Extendable work surface

Connecting pieces allow several multifunction tables to be
joined laterally with one another. The larger work space thus
created permits you to easily clamp and process larger work­pieces, or several workpieces at the same time.

Flexible and reliable with the new VAC SYS.

The clamping solution of the future: VAC SYS. This new prod­uct gives you the option for the rst time of turning your work­pieces up to 360° and swivelling them by up to 90° – with a
single hand movement. You can now process workpieces from
all sides without having to secure the workpiece in a different
position. The new vacuum clamping system is connected to the
MFT 3 by an adapter plate. If the VAC SYS is not required for a
while, it can simply be swivelled
away.

Optimised connection to the CMS modular system.

You can use the Festool V-groove to connect the CMS modular
system and accessories to the MFT 3. This means that you
have circular saws, jig saws, routers and a belt sander availa­ble for your work. This increases the versatility of your work­place and you also have the option of executing several steps
in sequence without having to reclamp. In short: the MFT 3

becomes a mobile and efcient work station.

The new MFT 3 with system accessories at a glance.

Whether as a table or work bench,
the MFT 3 has a lot to offer you.

Clamping difcult shapes.

Clamping elements provide smaller
workpieces with the support
required for safe and precise
processing.

Use of the guide rail.

The guide rail support can be
used to fold up the guide rail or
set the guide rail to different
material thicknesses.

Ideal work height.

With a work height of 90 cm, the
MFT 3 also permits taller users to
work ergonomically in a manner
that prevents back pain.

Optimised system connection.

The MFT 3 extension allows you to
use all CMS modules for sawing,
routing and sanding.

Ready for use everywhere.

The foldaway legs of the
MFT 3 allow it to be folded
away to save space and for
transportation.

8

Horizontal and vertical clamping.

Using clamp clips and perforated plate and/

or prole section, the workpieces can be
secured at any point, simply and rmly.

Extended clamping options.

Through the connection of the new
vacuum clamping system VAC SYS.

Compatible with CMS thanks
to V-groove.

The new V-groove also permits the
use of many accessories of the
Compact Module System CMS at
the MFT 3.

Impressive stability.

The additional cross braces make
the MFT 3 even more stable and
can be folded in easily for
transportation.

System accessories (see page 11) not included in the scope of supply.

Precise results.

Workpieces can be positioned
exactly at the angle stop. The stop
slide makes exact repeat cuts and
even duplicate production possible.
Absolute precision is also guaran­teed by the additional clamping
device, with which the sliding fence
is secured to the V-groove.
