Festool MFT/KAPEX-LP Replacement Perforated MDF Table Top
At a Glance: Genuine, reversible 814 x 526 mm perforated MDF replacement top for the Festool MFT/3 KAPEX Multifunction Table.
Restore the working surface of your Festool MFT/3 KAPEX Multifunction Table with this genuine Festool replacement perforated table top. Designed as a sacrificial work surface, the durable MDF panel provides a flat, dependable platform for supporting, positioning and securing workpieces during cutting, routing, sanding, planing, joining and assembly work. Its accurately perforated surface accommodates compatible MFT workholding accessories, while the reversible, two-sided construction lets you turn the top over and continue working once the first face becomes worn. It is the practical way to refresh a hard-working MFT/KAPEX station without replacing the complete table.
Marks, holes and shallow cuts are a normal part of using an MDF top as a spoilboard. Once one face has accumulated excessive wear, simply flip the panel over to reveal a fresh working surface. When both sides have reached the end of their useful life, this direct replacement restores the table for precise and productive workshop use.
Product Highlights
- Genuine Festool replacement: Manufactured for the Festool MFT/3 KAPEX Multifunction Table.
- Reversible design: Both faces can be used, extending the service life of the replacement top.
- Perforated work surface: The hole pattern supports compatible MFT clamping and workholding accessories.
- Sacrificial spoilboard: Accepts normal cutting marks, holes and workshop wear while helping protect the table structure beneath it.
- Durable MDF construction: Provides a smooth and stable surface for everyday workshop operations.
- Restores table usability: Replaces a damaged or heavily worn top without requiring a complete new table.
- Versatile workstation support: Suitable for cutting, routing, sanding, planing, joining, assembly and glue-up applications.
Extra Information
- Designed for use with the Festool MFT/3 KAPEX Multifunction Table.
- The MFT/3 KAPEX workstation supports KAPEX models including the KS 120 REB, KS 88 RE and KS 60 E.
- Cuts, small holes and surface marks are expected during normal use because the panel functions as a sacrificial spoilboard.
- Flip the panel over when the first face becomes too worn for accurate work.
- Replace the panel when both faces are excessively damaged, distorted or no longer provide reliable workpiece support.
- The table frame, KAPEX saw, clamps and other accessories are not included.
- Retain the original mounting hardware unless replacement hardware is separately specified or supplied.
Pro Tips
- Mark the two faces as Side A and Side B so that wear can be monitored and managed consistently.
- Before making a deep cut, confirm that the cutting path is clear of the table frame, mounting points and hardware beneath the top.
- Keep the perforations free from compacted dust and debris so compatible clamps and accessories can be positioned easily.
- Distribute clamping pressure evenly and avoid excessive force that could damage the MDF around the holes.
- Remove glue squeeze-out promptly or use a suitable protective release sheet during glue-ups to preserve the working surface.
- After fitting or flipping the top, check the table surface for flatness and recalibrate associated fences or supports where necessary.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water or high humidity, as MDF can swell and lose accuracy when moisture is absorbed.
How to Use
- Disconnect the KAPEX saw from its power supply and remove the saw, clamps and loose accessories from the workstation.
- Place the MFT/3 KAPEX table on a firm, level surface and secure it against movement.
- Remove the fasteners retaining the existing perforated top, following the table instructions where applicable.
- Lift away the worn panel and clean dust, chips and debris from the supporting frame.
- Position the replacement top correctly, aligning its perforations and mounting points with the table structure.
- Refit the original mounting hardware evenly. Tighten it securely without overtightening or crushing the MDF.
- Check that the top is stable, flat and fully supported, with no fasteners projecting above the working surface.
- Refit the KAPEX saw and accessories, then verify alignment and recalibrate the workstation before precision cutting.
- When the first face becomes excessively worn, remove the panel, flip it over and repeat the installation and alignment checks.
