For those who already own a Festool MFT/3 Multi-function Table, the CMSVL
is an excellent router table option at a price point slightly lower than the
CMS-GE. The CMS-VL attaches to your MFT/3 in seconds, giving you a portable
router table armed with all the precision features of a shop router table. Sized
to match the width of the MFT/3, it is also slightly larger. Features impeccable
dust collection with ports above and below the bit. Above-table bit changes
and bit height adjustments are effortlessly smooth. The fence features excellent
adjustability, plus a unique micro-adjustable jointing feature for precise stock
removal. To access the bottom of the table, most of the top swings up and out
for easy access. It also includes Festool's unique dual featherboard system, and
an auxiliary pattern routing attachment with a dust hood and "starting arm",
which extends all the way to the bearing for gap-free support.
