Infinite & Repeatable Positioning for 20mm Worktops
The Festool® MFT/3 multifunction table popularized the 20mm hole pattern, and for good reason: this hole pattern gives you flexibility in mounting bench dogs, clamps and other accessories, while keeping the table rigid and flat. But this design also has its drawbacks. Dogs could only be stopped 96mm apart with no choice in between. And horizontal clamps, cams or wedges work fine once—but cannot provide repeated accurate stops for cutting multiple identical workpieces.
Our variable position TDS-10 Dog Stops™ put an end to this limitation. With the TDS-10 Dog Stops, you can now:
- Measure just once and cut consistent, repeatable lengths on your MFT/3 or similar 20mm hole patterned worktable
- “Save” this position to use again later; the TDS-10 retains its position so long as you keep the SpeedKnobs secured
- Cut floating tenons off the edge of your worktable with the Festool Domino joiner while these workpieces are securely stopped
- Square cabinet door and drawer frames quickly
- Securing workpieces for sanding (at just 1/2″ or 12.7mm thick, the TDS-10 is perfect for use with sanding 3/4″ sheetgoods)
How the TDS-10 Works
“I absolutely love the dog stops. Cutting ten side panels for five cabinet boxes, I only made one measurement. When I stacked the ten panels next to each other, you could not even feel with your fingernails where one panel ends and the next one begins.”- TSO Beta Tester
