Thanks Peter for your time and effort in producing these. I first came across the sys mft and likened it to a toy. Had one for 2 years now and it has been an invaluable aid. Nothing worse than try to cut unsupported items - doesn't look professional either. My vehicle is a hatchback car. The whole systainer thing has been an absolute must for me. I love seeing how other people use these items and that's why I appreciate what you do. Kindest regards Mike

same for me - works brilliantly on the festool plunge saw and my makita sander. Not so great on the chop saw, but a whole lot better than nothing.

To quote a woodworker from KZbin... Simply Brilliant!!! I think his name is Peter... 😊 I too dismissed it as nothing I would use. I changed my opinion today. Thank you. A friend uses the Sysvac with an Oneida Dust Deputy attached to a 5 gallon bucket and he says it works great for him. Even with a router if it's not a big cut. He loves it.

The SYS-MFT are great, I use mine when on little jobs, it's great to have a good clamping surface with you, I tend to just use it on the floor rarther than a huge stack. I also work on a farm so again it great to have a little bench with me to fix things in the corner of a field 😬

Peter, You missed one of the best features of the Sys MFT my dear chap. A stack of Systainers with Sys MFT on top finishes out to be the exact height of the MFT 3! You can extend your work surface to infinity and beyond. I had some very delicate and odd-shaped museum pieces I was working on and don't know what I would have done without them!!

I was nervous at first but am now absolutely convinced that these bits of kit are worth it. The one that shocked me was the Sys MFT as I had written it off in my mind and never even glanced at one in any of the shops. I then realised that I needed something after an uncomfortable (and very public) session on someone's doorstep whilst fitting a new lock. I am now a convert. Peter

Hi Jim, I learnt my lesson a while ago about prices. My KZbin channel gets about 145,000 hits each month from all over the world. People can easily do a quick Google search in their area for the local prices. I did break my rule with the CTL-Sys replacement bags as that is an area that I thought was going to be silly prices but they were quite reasonable. Cheers. Peter

@NewBritWorkshop3 жыл бұрын
Hi Kenny, It is not easy. The trick that I find works is to get the hose in first. Push it in against the inside of the space forcing it to be in contact with the plastic wall of the storage area. At the corners try and squeeze the hose in as tight to the corner as possible. Continue in this way until you have to start a second layer where the hose is pushed against itself rather than the out wall. Always start at the bottom and work upwards. When the hose is in put the mains lead in. Good luck. Peter

Hi Peter, I purchased one and never got on with it, I got it for sanding and a bit of ts55 work but it very quickly sets off the bypass valve in it which reduces suction I've never filled a bag anywhere near before setting it off, maybe mines faulty.

Hi Edward, I was pushed for space on the video as I try and keep them to about 15 minutes. Also, I am not a fan (pun?) of blown air in a workshop but I appreciate that any extractor has to have an exhaust port. To get plans I need an email address to which they will be sent. this is best done via a Private Message (PM). Follow this link: kzbin.info Hit the "About" tab then "Send Message". I am told that some tablets and mobile phones do not show all of this - that is out of my control. Peter

how does the sacrificial top get replaced? That would have been good to see.

Hi Michael, I have not needed to do it yet but would suggest starting with a larger piece of MDF, perhaps enough for 2 tops. Then I would begin by creating the holes using the Parf Guide System (for accuracy). Then I would carefully router out the little recesses - probably using a template. This is a nice idea for a future video - thanks. Peter
