For all 10MW Plus members
OK, last MFT* / bench video for a little while I promise, but I couldn’t resist giving this £80 MFT-style portable bench a try; I mean, how bad could it be??
*MultiFunction Table, after Festool’s MFT/1080 and MFT/3

Looks like a great little bench just a shame about the hole centres i feel privileged one of my tops made a brief appearance 😂 just wonder how theese company’s make money putting these benches out at these prices with the cost of materials these days
I mentioned this is the midweek, but I'm just very pleased we now have options in workbenches despite the flaws in each of them.
Also, 80£/$100 is a GREAT price for just the aluminum frame and legs alone. Bolt on a t-track (another $20 maybe) on the front/back, and you have the makings of a very respectable portable mft!
I really may just buy one of the other versions... the Mrs is going to be very displeased...
Question — does it matter much that the MDF is flush with the aluminum sides?
Most folks will have just a single cut-line (or Peter’s replacement strip).
Would it harm to cut 3mm into the aluminum sides?
Does that get into the fixings and fasteners?
Naturally, the saw blade will be fine for cutting into a small segment of aluminum.
Apologies if the tone is a bit matter-of-fact. It’s all meant to be food for thought and discussion. 😀
Just watched the mid week video on the Vevor / Excel.
Will get around to watching this one.
Perhaps it’s all answered in the public video and associated comments!
Four thoughts:
Why fret over the 3” spacing? It’s a NBD thing. Rethink the paradigm — a gentle nudge.
Knowing the holes do wear out, Festool made the holes on 96mm centers for clamping — not for alignment. The after-market industry is the one advocating dual-use of the holes.
If the Vevor hole layout is consistent and square — that is a good thing.
What tools and accessories absolutely need 96mm hole spacing?
This looks a great option for occasional use, for instance when I want to work outside on the patio as opposed to in my workshop. Amazing capacity for such a cheap bench. How many Peter Millards would it support?
