On your clamp reach problem, just add some offset holes to your matrix of holes in the table. As for 45 deg cuts, you could also set the rail at an angle by repositioning the dogs and keeping the fence straight. To lift the flush dogs, put som M8 bolts permanently in them with a nut as spacer to make a handle. A suggestion is to buy the UJK 8x Anti-slip dogs, so you can avoid having your workbench scored from your cuts. You still have the cam & wedge clamping kit and assembly square to test/review if you so feel doing so. A cheaper solution to the fence for those that find it to expensive, could be the UJK backstop. Or several of them, since they cost about 1/8 of the price for the fence..
I agree...as much as my OCD prevents me from wanting to disrupt my perfect 96mm spacing. I finally just made a couple of holes in certain areas to address this exact same problem. We are creatures of habit...so I just made holes for those same sizes that have become pesky.
Hi John, great video as usual, the problem with the clamp could be solved with at few holes made with the offset you can do with the parfgudie version 2.
I bought the rail clips not knowing if they would fit my Powertec rails (very popular in the USA). They did not fit -- at first. I gave the oblique faces a *very* light sanding -- just enough to remove the high spots of those faces, to make them flat surfaces. Now they fit beautifully. By the way, the wire clips fit 3/4 inch dog posts -- also popular in the USA.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your mft setup. Getting ready to scrap/sell off the mitresaw in favor of your ujk setup. Have to ship it all over to the US but it looks well worth it. The space savings alone in the shop looks to be the best investment for me. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
Oooo New Fence, Need to get a bit more Orange Anodized Bling in my Workshop. I've got the old one and i like the idea of the elongated holes. Nice review John.
Another awesome video John. For me this is way out of my budget. But for vision paid people like myself it would be an awesome bit of kit as we use a lot of clamping and holding devices for an extra pair of eyes in our case. Hope you’re looking after yourself I hope the knees on well on the mend. And hope all your family are looking after yourselves. Can’t wait for the next video
Paul...I said the same thing until I bought the Parf system and it's made me so much more efficient. Being here in Nevada you can't walk into any stores and buy this...but it's worth it.
@@UpcycleFab yeah it’s definitely coming up on my Wish List getting closer to getting the garage sorted that be the first thing to be done good thing is I can go to Axminster and have a look at it or should I say feel of it but there’s loads of people use it now
Great review I fully agree you can do nearly everything with a track saw. especially if you do a lot with sheets as it is lighter to bring the saw and track to the sheet than trying to use a table saw. But I don't think I get rid of my kapex ks 120 any time soon though.
Like the fence. I already have one I made out of Ply but I chamfered the underside slightly so as to make sure dust didn't throw my pice out of square when registering against the fence...any chamfer on the UJK fence?
Hey John great video! I've been looking for this type of video, I really don't have very much room to set up much of a shop and was wondering if a tracksaw and MFT table would take the place of a mitersaw and a tablesaw with the right accessories. Thank you so much for answering that question, now I have made up my mind finally, I think.
Hi John, hope you and the family are well fella👍. Been looking at various dogs you’ve reviewed for my makita track. In your honest opinion John, would you go with the Parf dogs and track holders or the Sauter magnetic ones? Both look good and I guess both have pros and cons! By the way I think festool and various bangood companies do a clamp the slots in to the mft holes and extends and clamps your work piece horizontally against the dogs or fence. If that makes sense? 🤔 Congrats on the amount of subscribers and soon you’ll be getting your 100k award from RU-vid mate 👍👍
Thanks John. Tricky one but as with most battery power tools stick with one and should be good 👍 See if you can get a Cyclone off them John. That would be a good video. 😁 Plus I can see before I buy 🤣🤣
you could I suppose but you can also build more stuff with it other then just the top, you can use it to make a fence and squares for assembly and these can be sacrificial pieces so you can cut through them and make as many as you need.
Question, I'm in the United States, is the somewhere that I can buy the stuff to set up an mft table? Just wondering. Thanks for another great video my friend.
I think the need for or against a table saw versus a track saw system is totally down to what you require if you're going to be cutting lots of sheet material day in day out then a table saw or panel saw like eire workshop has is the way to go but for occasional cutting of sheet material then track saw is more than adequate
@@chriswindberg5010 Thank you. Looks like they currently stock Parf Guide System, Mark II and Superdogs, but not the Parf Fence. Seems like they get good user reviews.
I'm getting frustrated as I'm new to Mft tops. I purchased some equipment. I want to make some van racking for storage. I viewed a video of a guy who has a table saw here he make long cuts, and then turns the wood over thats been cut back to the fence so he has parallel pieces of wood. I have an issue where I can't get heis. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0Gt4Jj6b9c.html Can you offer advice as the pices i require must be 29cm x 7ft. I offer the with up to the rails, but there seems to be an easy movement that will make parrarel cuts very hard to achive.
Let the 8x4 sheet over hang your table and clamp the track both ends, another good option to break down sheets is to do it on the floor, get an 8x4 sheet of insulation (Kingspan) put that under the sheet of plywood and you can cut into it. Makes it very easy.
