MFT top with the RS CNC jig

[Hornbeam]

This might be a real ignorance on my part but I am struggling to see what an MFT does or how it is used
I have a bench with a row of dog holes, an end and front vice and that holds everything

Because the grid of holes are perfectly square, it allows you to align boards and track saws at perfect right angles, allowing accurate cross cutting, as one example.

Your bench can do everything else an MFT can, hold downs, etc.

And I thought you were trying to make perfectly round concentric circles. (hammer)

I think I would need to see it in use to really get it
Thanks

(This video is very 'Parf' branded, but the concept is the same for all of these holey tables)

Thanks Sammy and Steve for the links and explanations and you tube links.
Im not really getting it but then I would use the panel saw rather than a track saw
Thanks again Ian
