In 4 steps to your individual multifunctional table

With the steel template Vario-Master MFT, you can produce your own perforated worktop for multifunctional tables in no time at all.

  • Step 1: Place the steel template on the future worktop (e.g. MDF or multiplex) and fix it in place.
  • Step 2: Using a router and Ø 30 mm copying ring, the desired hole pattern is routed with a Ø 20 mm groove cutter with drill cutting edge (recommended) and the holes for the screw bench dogs are marked.
  • Step 3: Drill the holes for the screw bench dogs.
  • Step 4: The steel template is placed under the worktop and attached to the underframe or workbench.

Differences Vario-Master MFT and Vario-Bench

The perforated grid for angular and repetitive sawing corresponds to that of the Vario-Bench. A significant difference between the two plates is that the bench dogs of the Vario-Master MFT are screwed into the Vario-Master MFT steel plate without play using M6 threads and are not inserted as with the original Vario-Bench. The threads guarantee lasting precision, as steel threads essentially do not wear out.

The core features of the steel template are:

  • MFT worktop is routed or drilled by yourself
  • Size of the plate can be freely defined
  • Bench dogs have M6 threads

Accessories for the routing template

Once the multifunctional table is finished, the versatile accessories with Ø 20 mm mounting come into play. Whether workbench clamps, bench dogs, toggle clamps or support rails, there are no limits to the applications.
