Large Surface; With a large surface area, you'll have plenty of room to complete tasks or projects on this workbench top without feeling cramped up or restricted by space. It can be helpful to drill a small hole that is 71 mm from each edge at the corner of the MDF, as that will help in aligning the rail.

If you want the useful “accessory pack” then you’ll need to fork out again, but really all you need is some star-knobs, a bit of t-track, t-nuts and some 3/4″ / 20mm dowel. Then I could work my way down the top, row by row, using my awl to locate the jig in the first hole.Benchdogs ship internationally so if you're not in the UK you can still get hold of them and they do imperial accessories as well as metric. Replacing the top on my MFT isn't a big deal - it's only held on by four screws - but it's in such an awkward location that everything needs to come out - and off - for me to be able to do it right.

I'd also recommend just getting the hole started on the top side without going all the way through, and then flip the top over and drill through from the bottom. With the top cut to size, I brushed away any dust and then started to apply some finish, it seemed like a good idea to get it on before drilling the holes. Although their tops are obviously manufactured to a tight tolerance using CNC and work well for tons of us, if using as a pattern your can only create what the pattern will allow.Finally I want to talk briefly about the MFT accessories that I plan to use going forward, and here they are - all of these came from BenchDogs. The other question is how much use is it going to get because I class them as something that will not last forever and the more use it gets then the sooner it could need replacing. And before I made this cut I made a test cut on another piece just to verify that my tablesaw was cutting accurately because it was really important that it measured exactly 200mm after making the cut, I verify it with a tape measure that I trust for accuracy.

The positions D1, D2, D3, D4 of the fixing holes are configurable, thus allowing a tailor-made adaptation to your chassis and to different profile sections.
