In this video, I share a technique on How to Square the Festool MFT/3 WITHOUT Using Jigs and Squares!! Recently I saw some posts on the Festool owner's group forum wherein a member was seeking advice on how to attain a square cut on the MFT. He had recently ordered (and had not yet received) his table, and was already asking what additional tools and positioning jigs were needed to get his guide rail square. There were lots of great tools recommended, yet not one person had told him it was possible to get square cuts WITHOUT buying additional items. The Festool MFT/3 isn't easy on the wallet, so to think you have to spend more money to use it is a little ridiculous in my eyes. After thinking of potential solutions, I was looking at my own MFT and thought "I wonder if I can use what I already have to achieve square cuts". It didn't take me long to whip out my woodpecker square and check if the guide plate on the TS-75 was square - and sure enough it was. All that to say - you don't have to buy additional tools to square the Festool MFT/3, just use your track saw!
