Festool MFT/3 Conturo-AP Multifunction Table for KA 65
At a Glance: Stationary multifunction table for the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander with swivel-mounted edging adjustment from 0 - 47°
The Festool MFT/3 Conturo-AP is a dedicated multifunction table system for using the CONTURO KA 65 edge bander as a stationary edging machine. Instead of guiding the edge bander by hand along the workpiece, the KA 65 is mounted securely into the table, allowing the user to guide the workpiece past the machine. This is especially useful for small batches, narrow parts, straight edges, curved components, shaped workpieces and mitred edging where controlled handling and consistent pressure make a big difference to the final result.
The MFT/3 Conturo-AP turns the KA 65 into a bench-mounted edge-banding station. The machine can swivel in the table, allowing edging work on straight, shaped and angled edges while the workpiece remains easier to guide horizontally.
Product highlights
- Designed for the KA 65: Purpose-built for using the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander as a stationary machine.
- Swivel-mounted operation: Allows the edge bander to swivel from 0 - 47° for edging straight or angled workpieces.
- Ideal for mitred edging: Supports gluing inclined edges and mitres with better control and more consistent feed.
- Convenient workpiece guidance: The workpiece is guided horizontally past the machine, which is especially helpful with larger or awkward pieces.
- Quick machine fitting: The KA 65 can be installed and removed quickly without tools.
- Secure slide-lock fixing: Holds the edge bander firmly in place during stationary operation.
- Safe guiding support: Supplied sliding guides help guide the workpiece cleanly and safely.
- Practical MFT design: Includes a perforated table top and foldaway legs for a stable, workshop-friendly working height.
Extra Information
- The MFT/3 Conturo-AP is designed for the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander.
- It allows the KA 65 to be used as a bench-mounted stationary machine.
- The table is useful for edging straight edges, curves and oblique edges.
- The swivel-mounted setup allows adjustment from 0 - 47°.
- For mitred edging, the guide rail adapter helps keep the edging parallel and prevents it from running off course.
- The table has a perforated top and foldaway legs for stable workshop use.
- The KA 65 edge bander is not listed here as part of the table item and should be purchased separately if not already owned.
Pro Tips
- Use the MFT/3 Conturo-AP when edging smaller, narrow or shaped components where handheld edge banding becomes awkward.
- When edging mitres, take time to set the swivel angle and guide rail adapter accurately before applying adhesive.
- Feed the workpiece steadily past the mounted KA 65 and maintain even pressure against the guide system.
- Use scrap material to test the edge overhang and feed setup before working on finished panels.
- Keep the sliding guides and pressure area clean so the workpiece moves smoothly during edging.
- For repeat batch work, set up one accurate reference piece first, then use the same settings for the remaining parts.
How to Use
- Set up the MFT/3 Conturo-AP table on a firm, level surface.
- Mount the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander into the adapter plate according to the machine instructions.
- Secure the edge bander using the slide-lock fixing system.
- Set the required swivel angle for straight, curved or mitred edging work.
- Adjust the sliding guides and guide rail adapter according to the workpiece and edging thickness.
- Insert the edging into the KA 65 as normal and prepare the adhesive system.
- Guide the workpiece horizontally past the mounted edge bander with steady pressure.
- Use the additional roller and pressure zone support when working with complex shapes.
- Check that the edge is feeding straight and does not run off course during mitred edging.
- After edging, trim, scrape, sand or finish the edge as required.
Features
- Stationary mounting system: Holds the CONTURO KA 65 securely for bench-mounted edging work.
- Continuously adjustable angle: The edge bander can be adjusted from 0 - 47° for different edge-banding applications.
- Sliding guides: Help guide the workpiece safely and assist with the correct edging overhang.
- Additional roller: Expands the pressure zone and helps when edging more complex shapes.
- Adjustable guide rail adapter: Helps feed the panel parallel when edging mitres so that the edging does not run off course.
- Edge deflector: Keeps the introduced edge away from the immediate workpiece area for cleaner handling.
- Accessible start button: The KA 65 start button remains easy to reach while the machine is mounted in the table.
- Foldaway legs: The table can be set up for a comfortable 900 mm working height and folded away for storage or transport.
Benefits
- More controlled edging: The workpiece is guided past the mounted machine, making it easier to maintain steady movement and pressure.
- Better handling of small or narrow parts: Stationary operation is useful when the workpiece is difficult to clamp or guide by hand.
- Improved mitre edging: The adjustable tilt system supports inclined edging work from 0 - 47°.
- Useful for small batches: Ideal when several similar pieces need consistent edging results.
- Flexible edge-banding setup: Works for straight edges, curves, shaped elements and more complex components.
- Fast setup and removal: The KA 65 can be fitted or removed without tools, keeping workflow practical.
- Part of the Festool system: Works with the CONTURO KA 65 and expands it into a more complete edge-banding workstation.
Application
- Stationary use of the Festool CONTURO KA 65 edge bander
- Edge banding straight workpieces
- Edge banding curved and free-form components
- Gluing inclined edges from 0 - 47°
- Applying edging to mitred workpieces
- Small-batch edge-banding work
- Working with narrow or smaller parts that are difficult to clamp

Safety
- Read the operating instructions for both the MFT/3 Conturo-AP and the CONTURO KA 65 before use.
- Ensure the table is set up on a firm, level surface before mounting the edge bander.
- Check that the KA 65 is securely fixed in the adapter plate before switching it on.
- Keep hands clear of the adhesive outlet, pressure area and moving workpiece path during operation.
- Be careful when working with hot adhesive, as melted glue can cause burns.
- Wear suitable eye protection and workwear when edging and finishing panels.
- Use safe hand positioning when guiding small or narrow workpieces past the mounted machine.
- Do not force the workpiece; feed it smoothly and evenly past the edge bander.
- Allow the machine and adhesive system to cool down before cleaning or making adjustments near heated areas.
- Disconnect the edge bander from the power supply before mounting, removing or adjusting it in the table.
- Keep the table surface, guides and pressure areas clean for safe and accurate workpiece guidance.
