Product Description
UJK Parf Guide System MK II
Create your own custom 20mm worktops in record time
Good news: the UJK Parf Dust Port is now included as standard with each UJK Parf Guide System Mark II. There is no need to order it separately.
Designed by renowned woodworker and inventor Peter Parfitt, we're pleased to provide UJK Technology's Parf Guide System MK II (PGS). A highly accurate means of laying out a pattern of 20mm holes in a work surface, the PGS MKII makes the task both quick and easy. Thanks to the high precision CNC machining used to perfectly position the registration holes along the two Parf sticks and some classical geometry (the Pythagorean theorem), the PGS MKII produces highly accurate hole positions—near CNC accuracy. With an accurate pattern of 20mm holes and a set of our DoubleGroove™ Dogs, you will be able to make the perfect right angle or 45° cuts with your guide rail and track saw.
The design of the MKII Parf Guide system for sale preserves and guarantees the long-term accuracy of the jig as well as improving the ease of use.
The MKII Parf Guide System uses 2 x MKII Parf sticks along with a drill guide and a special 3mm drill bit to create rows and columns of holes at perfect right angles.
The accuracy of the Parf guide drilling system is dependent on the very tight tolerance of the holes in the Parf stick. The MKII drill guides locate positively into holes in the MKII Parf Stick. The guides feature an oilite bush to guide the MKII 3mm drill bit. This design prevents any possibility of wear or elongation of these vital holes as a result of repeated use. Additional holes in the MKII sticks offer the possibility of drilling intermediate holes at 32mm or 48mm centres or holes at predetermined angles other than 90°. The Parf sticks have a metric scale along one edge so that they may have other uses in the workshop.
How It Works
Based on Pythagorean theorem, the PGS MKII uses two Parf sticks along with a 3mm drill guide and 3mm drill bit to create an accurately placed series of holes with the rows at perfect right angles to the columns. Then the guide block and the special 20mm bit come into play to produce the final pattern of 20mm holes.
The UJK Parf Guide System Mark II comprises two Parf Sticks, 1m long with a series of 3mm holes along the length at 96mm centers; a 3mm drill guide with 3mm drill bit and three 3mm guide pins. Plus, a guide block and a special 20mm TC drill bit with a 3mm center guide.

Parf guide system
I have not had a chance to use it but from what I've learned in algebra and geometry it should be great

Kudoes to TSO for offering UK products
Peter Parfitt and UJK came up with this means of making your own MFT table. The downsides of ordering this from the UK is shipping cost and delivery snags. TSO has now solved those problems by warehousing and offering the kit stateside. Multiple reviews of this system, and Peter's own demonstrations on-line, are easily available, and helpful.

Works well
It's very satisfying being able to make holes with such precision. I'm trying to think of other things I need more holes in...
-
CNC accuracy in a small package.
Looks very well made and i believe with careful use this should provide near CNC accuracy. I haven’t had the chance to use it yet.

Parf system worked great
Everything went smoothly and the holes in my table were checked and verified square with a very accurate triangle. Waaaaaaaayyyy better than the woodpecker template.
-
Great Product
Really accurate and high quality tool. Consistent results even after drilling 100+ holes to make a bench. Time savings alone are worth the money, but you’ll be thrilled by perfect results too. Dust collection is also a nice feature.
-
seem to be accurate
My first attempt did not produce "perfect" results. Close but not perfect.
-
5 star for accuracy
If you want the most accurate, non cnc MFT table layout..This jig will deliver. A bit time consuming to drill each hole, but, precision takes time. TSO customer service was top notch in sending a replacement for the damaged 20mm cutter.

Extremely accurate and very easy to use.
I bought this to make a simple MFT top that sits on top of couple of saw horrses. I was amazed and blown away by the accuracy and versatility of this system. Might take longer to use than other template systems but the accuracy is guaranteed. Highly recommend it.
