Designed specifically to reinforce the folding underframe of the MFT 3, the two sturdy metal braces are installed diagonally between the table legs to reduce unwanted movement when the worktable is subjected to sideways pressure. This is particularly valuable during demanding applications such as edge banding with the Festool CONTURO KA 65, where lateral working forces can place additional stress on the table. Once the braces have been initially fitted, they remain attached to the MFT 3 and can be secured or released without tools whenever the table is opened or folded. The result is a more solid, confidence-inspiring workstation that still retains the portable folding functionality of the MFT 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eAdditional reinforcement without sacrificing portability\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe MFT 3-QT braces form a diagonal support structure between the table legs, strengthening the MFT 3 against lateral movement.
