Four such extruded pieces assembled at
right angles to one another form a very
square and ad-
justable rectan-
gle.
A ball headed
3mm Allen key
is supplied to
allow you to
easily tighten or
loosen these
connecting
points so you
can slide the
extruded pieces
to form rectan-
gles of any size
up to the length
of the extrusion
plus the 80mm
width of the ad-
joining extruded
piece. The in-
side rectangle
formed is the
length of the extruded piece less
the 80mm width of the adjoining
extruded piece.
For example, the starter set
492610 which is listed in the Fes-
tool catalog as 15.7" by 7.8" and
called MFS 400 has two 200mm
extruded pieces and two 400mm
extruded pieces. They will make
a rectangle up to 280mm by
480mm outside and 120mm by
320mm inside.
Starter set MFS 700 shown
above with the Festool catalog
open for size comparison has two
400mm and two 700mm extru-
sions so it will make a rectangle as large
7
Standard components shipped
with the MFS 700 starter kit
as 780mm by 480mm outside and
320mm by 620mm inside.
You can also purchase
additional longer extru-
sions in either 1000mm
or 2000mm lengths.
Two or more extrusions
can be joined end to
end with MFS joining
units (the two hole "V"
nuts and 5mm set
screws shown on the
previous page) so there
is really no limit to how
large a rectangle you
can form for special ap-
plications.
The starter kits also in-
clude two heavy metal
angles (shown in the
photo left) roughly
80mm wide with one
30mm and one 60mm
side. These have two
4.5mm slots cut into them through which
4mm bolts can pass to thread into one of
