UJK Parf Fence, Super Dogs and Other MFT Accessories.

[@pfaff1181]

Great review! Thanks for being so honest with your opinions; and not just be a commercial for free stuff, like so many others do.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks for watching!

[@stephensimpson5283]

As always, Great info! Use your Parf maker to put holes in between the others. Easy.

[@barrydoxseyuk]

Great video, nice to see the updated fence and the larger fence on its way. The UJK tools are so well made. Thank you for the information.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks 👍

[@MichelLaine]

On your clamp reach problem, just add some offset holes to your matrix of holes in the table. As for 45 deg cuts, you could also set the rail at an angle by repositioning the dogs and keeping the fence straight. To lift the flush dogs, put som M8 bolts permanently in them with a nut as spacer to make a handle. A suggestion is to buy the UJK 8x Anti-slip dogs, so you can avoid having your workbench scored from your cuts. You still have the cam & wedge clamping kit and assembly square to test/review if you so feel doing so. A cheaper solution to the fence for those that find it to expensive, could be the UJK backstop. Or several of them, since they cost about 1/8 of the price for the fence..

I agree...as much as my OCD prevents me from wanting to disrupt my perfect 96mm spacing. I finally just made a couple of holes in certain areas to address this exact same problem. We are creatures of habit...so I just made holes for those same sizes that have become pesky.

[@MacTech007]

Great review. Now I have to buy 2 of these UJK Parf System Fences. Cheers from Canada

[@onkelmaane]

Hi John, great video as usual, the problem with the clamp could be solved with at few holes made with the offset you can do with the parfgudie version 2.

[@BlunderCraft_Workshop]

Thanks for taking the time to explain your mft setup. Getting ready to scrap/sell off the mitresaw in favor of your ujk setup. Have to ship it all over to the US but it looks well worth it. The space savings alone in the shop looks to be the best investment for me. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@justinjones5458]

Thanks John, very useful! Just bought my first ujk mft table, looking to make my next (bigger) one.... Happy days! 😊 love your shed 👍

[@patrickbyrnes118]

I bought the rail clips not knowing if they would fit my Powertec rails (very popular in the USA). They did not fit -- at first. I gave the oblique faces a *very* light sanding -- just enough to remove the high spots of those faces, to make them flat surfaces. Now they fit beautifully. By the way, the wire clips fit 3/4 inch dog posts -- also popular in the USA.

Great review John...I've been here from the early days... congratulations on 44k subs..the production is sleek as feck...

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Cheers Jigsey you certainly were here near the start!

[@simonfairall5122]

Looks like you should create a set of 32mm or 48mm on centre holes using the parf system to solve that clamping issue

[@xinixxagnix201]

I made 3 MDF strips of 800x80x18 and use the Parf maker 4 the holes. So i earn back the Parf systeem lol , thanks m8 for your review!

[@trevornokesmusicltd5357]

Oooo New Fence, Need to get a bit more Orange Anodized Bling in my Workshop. I've got the old one and i like the idea of the elongated holes. Nice review John.

[@georgebrill3072]

Great job, thanks.

[@MrCassbren]

Like the fence. I already have one I made out of Ply but I chamfered the underside slightly so as to make sure dust didn't throw my pice out of square when registering against the fence...any chamfer on the UJK fence?

[@maartenbaas9044]

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

No problem 👍

Great products.

[@myfaceback100]

Great review I fully agree you can do nearly everything with a track saw. especially if you do a lot with sheets as it is lighter to bring the saw and track to the sheet than trying to use a table saw. But I don't think I get rid of my kapex ks 120 any time soon though.

[@mikes6844]

Brilliant thank you 👍🏻

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

No problem 👍

[@greedypnuthurst4112]

Good video, do you find that the lateral force of the clamp dog wears the holes at all. Cheers Rich

[@PaulSmith-rd8yc]

Another awesome video John. For me this is way out of my budget. But for vision paid people like myself it would be an awesome bit of kit as we use a lot of clamping and holding devices for an extra pair of eyes in our case. Hope you’re looking after yourself I hope the knees on well on the mend. And hope all your family are looking after yourselves. Can’t wait for the next video

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Cheers Paul, my knee is much better thank you very much, hope all is well with you my friend.

[@UpcycleFab]

Paul...I said the same thing until I bought the Parf system and it's made me so much more efficient. Being here in Nevada you can't walk into any stores and buy this...but it's worth it.

[@PaulSmith-rd8yc]

@@UpcycleFab yeah it’s definitely coming up on my Wish List getting closer to getting the garage sorted that be the first thing to be done good thing is I can go to Axminster and have a look at it or should I say feel of it but there’s loads of people use it now

Thank you for another good video! If you want to configure a flush dog, you just remove the chamfer ring.

John. I see peter the new brit workshop gave you and the carpentry store a great mention. Great stuff

[@jerrynix5206]

Hey John great video! I've been looking for this type of video, I really don't have very much room to set up much of a shop and was wondering if a tracksaw and MFT table would take the place of a mitersaw and a tablesaw with the right accessories. Thank you so much for answering that question, now I have made up my mind finally, I think.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

These videos are an incredible supplement to the instructions - thanks!

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

[@projectrebuild908]

Hi John. Great video. Could you use your Parf guide system as the 2nd fence. Just using that expensive piece of kit more than once every 4 years.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

you could I suppose but you can also build more stuff with it other then just the top, you can use it to make a fence and squares for assembly and these can be sacrificial pieces so you can cut through them and make as many as you need.

[@billofalltrades2633]

Great video as always

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

[@brentfowler2317]

Question, I'm in the United States, is the somewhere that I can buy the stuff to set up an mft table? Just wondering. Thanks for another great video my friend.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

I think someone in the comments posted a place in the States the sell UJK

[@markgeezey1809]

Hi John, hope you and the family are well fella👍. Been looking at various dogs you’ve reviewed for my makita track. In your honest opinion John, would you go with the Parf dogs and track holders or the Sauter magnetic ones? Both look good and I guess both have pros and cons! By the way I think festool and various bangood companies do a clamp the slots in to the mft holes and extends and clamps your work piece horizontally against the dogs or fence. If that makes sense? 🤔 Congrats on the amount of subscribers and soon you’ll be getting your 100k award from KZbin mate 👍👍

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Hi Mark both are really good systems and Sauter have a new fence out also. Its a case of invest in one or the other as they work slightly differently.

[@markgeezey1809]

Thanks John. Tricky one but as with most battery power tools stick with one and should be good 👍 See if you can get a Cyclone off them John. That would be a good video. 😁 Plus I can see before I buy 🤣🤣

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

The more I watch these videos the less I want a table saw

@@JohnMcGrathManInShed they're good for rip cuts

[@owenjones-wells9395]

I bought an Axminster table saw thinking it'd be used for all my jobs. I'm now looking to get a track saw and build a MFT table. While the table saw can do decent cross cuts on fine/small parts, I find cross cutting long panels to be impossible (especially in my single car garage workshop).

I got to thinking, do you have a table saw in your shop? No need really.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

[@annscrazyworld2576]

So you use your track saw for all your ripping? How do you safely handle cutting small pieces without a cross cut sled?

[@denischadwick4558]

I think the need for or against a table saw versus a track saw system is totally down to what you require if you're going to be cutting lots of sheet material day in day out then a table saw or panel saw like eire workshop has is the way to go but for occasional cutting of sheet material then track saw is more than adequate

[@proteus1]

I'm getting frustrated as I'm new to Mft tops. I purchased some equipment. I want to make some van racking for storage. I viewed a video of a guy who has a table saw here he make long cuts, and then turns the wood over thats been cut back to the fence so he has parallel pieces of wood. I have an issue where I can't get heis. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emGqpWeAn5uVb8U Can you offer advice as the pices i require must be 29cm x 7ft. I offer the with up to the rails, but there seems to be an easy movement that will make parrarel cuts very hard to achive.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Let the 8x4 sheet over hang your table and clamp the track both ends, another good option to break down sheets is to do it on the floor, get an 8x4 sheet of insulation (Kingspan) put that under the sheet of plywood and you can cut into it. Makes it very easy.
