Hi All,
Welcome to the latest video, some interesting maths at the end of this one, I know you love some maths 😂
Great review! Well done. Looking for a clear explanation on this type of setup for ages. Orders placed!
Glad I can help,
I find it adds huge vamue to the track. I am even wondering if I need a full MFT top now.....
Enjoy your purchase
Andy
Thank you for the review, it was very helpful. Could you possibly review the Axminster MFT workbench? On this side of the pond is hard to get great reviews. I am considering ditching the massive workbench and getting a Axminister workbench, Benchdogs fence system and now the Ultra rail square.
Love you videos, Andy! Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
And thank you for the feedback.
Andy
Great review as always Andy, much appreciated. Not sure about "simple bit of maths" but well explained cheers
LoL
Not showing my age but I remeber doing those calculations with log books and slide rules.
With the calculator it is so much easier.
Cheers
Andy
Great video, thanks Andy. Nice to know my existing accessories will work with the new one. Great justification for getting the new mkiii.
Cheers Kyle - I have the upgrade clip coming - will probably do a one off video on that upgrade. So will be out pretty quickly. May be worth holding on for that video.
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be sure to catch that one
Was hoping to see the new clip attachment for the MK2 square being fitted? Got a great maths lesson instead!🤣👍
The clip video is on the way - there is lots of interest in that little clip.
Cheers
Andy
Brilliant video, thanks Andy. Well here goes some more hard earned pennies! Do like Benchdogs products, well made precise and made in England
Thank you Paul,
I like this square, huge step forward on the MK2
Cheers
Andy
Measurement report, calibration is adjustment
That is probably correct,
More accurate than my MFT with benchdog rail and dogs
Hi James,
I was genuinley suprised how accurate it is, I need to check my MFT set up to see how it compares.
Cheers
Andy
It is definitely worth the upgrade because the original rail square with the cams was useless. I could never trust that the cams would hold. I think that is what has driven this new design. I was informed that my issue was because of bad manufacturing tolerances of the Festool rails. I have four different rails and the cams didn't work well on any of them. While not a scientific test, I don't buy their reasoning. I figured they would try to make it right but now I've got an expensive doorstop that will soon hit the dumpster.
Hi David,
Rather than the dumpster, the upgrade clip may be an option. I have one coming so will try the upgrade and test the results. Watch this space.
Cheers
Andy
@@TheWoodgrafter For those of us across the pond it's a more expensive undertaking, especially with shipping, duty and the cost associated with outsourcing some of the work to a precision machine shop.
Fair point, I don’r think you need the precision workshop - it looks like a reasonably simple DIY upgrade.
But as I am going to video the experiance - we will soon find out :-)
But the shiping costs are very real.
Agree, have the same problem with all my Festool rails
