At a Glance: Adapter for connecting the VAC SYS clamping unit to the Festool MFT 3 multifunction table

The Festool VAC SYS AD MFT 3 adapter is designed to connect the VAC SYS vacuum clamping unit to the Festool MFT 3 multifunction table. This gives you a more flexible and efficient clamping setup, allowing workpieces to be held securely while remaining accessible for sanding, routing, edge work, assembly and finishing. It is a smart system accessory for users who already work with the MFT 3 and want to expand the table’s clamping possibilities with Festool’s VAC SYS vacuum clamping system.
