I Transform 2 ‘MFT’ Benches With 1 Easy Upgrade! [video 587]

In this one I revisit the #Metabo MWB100 and #Excel #MFT portable benches, get to the bottom of the ‘tight dog-hole’ issue and take you though a couple of ways to make it right.

Metabo UK have confirmed that whilst they make the dog-holes on the MWB100 a snug fit, a ‘small number’ with undersized holes are already in the system; Metabo’s head of sales and marketing has confirmed that using a reamer to open up the dog-holes in the bench top will not invalidate your warranty.

I am not associated or affiliated in any way with Metabo, I purchased this bench as any customer would, and I bought mine from ProTrade, here - https://www.protrade.co.uk/product/me...

Replacement top for the Metabo MWB 100 available here - https://karvdcnc.myshopify.com/produc...

Replacement top for the Excel workbench available here - https://karvdcnc.myshopify.com/produc...

Excel workbench now down to £60 here - https://tools4trade.co.uk/collections...

I am not affiliated or associated with the above companies, I am simply a happy customer.
