Festool MFT 3-QT Cross Brace Set for MFT 3

At a Glance: Two robust metal cross braces that diagonally reinforce the Festool MFT 3 for greater stability under lateral working forces.

Give your Festool MFT 3 multifunction table an extra level of stability with the Festool MFT 3-QT Cross Brace Set. Designed specifically to reinforce the folding underframe of the MFT 3, the two sturdy metal braces are installed diagonally between the table legs to reduce unwanted movement when the worktable is subjected to sideways pressure. This is particularly valuable during demanding applications such as edge banding with the Festool CONTURO KA 65, where lateral working forces can place additional stress on the table. Once the braces have been initially fitted, they remain attached to the MFT 3 and can be secured or released without tools whenever the table is opened or folded. The result is a more solid, confidence-inspiring workstation that still retains the portable folding functionality of the MFT 3.

Additional reinforcement without sacrificing portability

The MFT 3-QT braces form a diagonal support structure between the table legs, strengthening the MFT 3 against lateral movement. Their intelligent design allows the legs to remain foldable, so the table can still be transported and stored without removing the braces after every use.

Product Highlights

Improved MFT 3 stability: Reinforces the table underframe for a firmer and more dependable working platform.
Diagonal bracing: The two braces are arranged diagonally to help resist sideways movement and lateral working forces.
Ideal for edge banding: Particularly useful when operating the Festool CONTURO KA 65 on or alongside the MFT 3.
Robust metal construction: Designed to withstand regular professional workshop and job-site use.
Tool-free daily operation: Following the initial assembly, the braces can be secured and released without tools.
Remain attached to the table: There is no need to remove and reinstall the braces whenever the MFT 3 is transported.
Folding function retained: The MFT 3 legs can still be folded in with the braces fitted.
Purpose-designed accessory: Developed specifically for secure integration with the Festool MFT 3 multifunction table.

Extra Information

The MFT 3-QT set is designed specifically for the Festool MFT 3 multifunction table.
The set contains two metal braces that are arranged diagonally across the table underframe.
The braces provide additional reinforcement when the table is subjected to lateral or sideways forces.
They are particularly recommended when the MFT 3 is frequently used for edge banding with the Festool CONTURO KA 65.
The braces require an initial installation but can remain permanently attached to the table afterwards.
Once installed, the braces can be secured in the working position without tools.
The MFT 3 legs can still be folded for transportation or compact storage while the braces remain fitted.
The cross braces reinforce the table but do not replace correct table setup, workpiece clamping or safe operating procedures.

Pro Tips

Install both braces in their intended diagonal arrangement to obtain the full reinforcing effect.
Place the MFT 3 on a level and stable surface before securing the braces into their working positions.
Check that all four table legs are fully opened and locked before applying force to the worktable.
Secure the braces before beginning work that involves pushing a tool or workpiece sideways across the table.
Use compatible Festool clamps to secure the workpiece rather than relying on the additional table stability alone.
Periodically inspect the braces and mounting points for looseness, wear or damage, particularly after frequent transportation.
Release the braces correctly before folding the table legs to prevent unnecessary strain on the supports or mounting points.

How to Use

Place the Festool MFT 3 upside down or in a suitable stable position for the initial brace installation.
Fully unfold the table legs and ensure that the underframe is correctly opened and locked.
Identify the mounting positions for the two cross braces on the MFT 3 underframe.
Position the first brace diagonally between the appropriate table legs.
Attach the brace to the designated mounting points according to the MFT 3-QT installation arrangement.
Position the second brace diagonally in the opposite direction and secure it to its mounting points.
Check that both braces move and engage correctly without obstructing the table-leg folding mechanism.
Return the table to its normal upright working position on a firm, level surface.
Secure both braces in their working positions before applying lateral force to the table.
Confirm that the table is stable and that all connections are correctly engaged before beginning work.
After use, release the braces from their working positions before folding the MFT 3 legs.
Leave the braces attached to the table for convenient transportation and faster setup at the next work location.

Features

Two-piece brace set: Includes the pair of supports required to diagonally reinforce the MFT 3 underframe.
Diagonal support arrangement: Strengthens the table against sideways movement from different working directions.
Durable metal construction: Provides dependable reinforcement for demanding professional applications.
Dedicated MFT 3 compatibility: Dimensions and mounting arrangement are designed specifically for the MFT 3.
Permanent installation: The braces are fitted once and can remain attached to the table during regular use and transportation.
Tool-free locking: After initial installation, the braces can be fixed into their working positions without additional tools.
Folding-table compatibility: Does not prevent the MFT 3 legs from being folded for storage or transport.
Compact tubular profile: Each metal brace has a 20mm diameter and a length of 675mm.

Benefits

More secure working platform: Reduces movement in the underframe while force is being applied from the side.
Greater control during demanding work: A firmer table helps the operator guide tools and workpieces more accurately.
Ideal for repeated edge-processing work: Provides valuable additional support when the MFT 3 is frequently used with the CONTURO KA 65.
Quick workstation setup: The braces remain attached and can be secured without repeating the initial assembly process.
Portable design preserved: The table can still be folded and transported with the reinforcement system installed.
Reduced table movement: Helps create a more stable working environment when pushing, guiding or pressing materials laterally.
Long-lasting reinforcement: The robust metal construction is suitable for regular workshop and site use.
