Festool MFS Fence System Instruction Manual page 41

Here is the finished unit with band
inlay along the front edge of the top
tem, so, while it is off topic for what we
are talking about right now, I will include a
couple of photos to show this detail as
well.
This photo shows the segmented sliding
dovetail shelf support system cut into the
front of the back (walnut) and the back of
the front uprights (maple). The sum of
the lengths of the segments plus the
width of the shelf is the distance from top
41
to bottom so no matter how many seg-
ments are below or above the shelf, the
shelf looks as if it is fixed but is really ad-
justable.
The photo above shows a detail of the
derside of the thin shelf stiffened by fore-
aft sliding dovetails and a lateral that are
hidden by the maple uprights.
Directly above is a detail of how the shelf
interacts with the stacked sliding dovetail
segments on the front uprights.
