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 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 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 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.
Parf Guide System MKII 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.

Must Have Tool for MFT Building
After 60 years of woodworking, I switched from a cabinet saw to using a Festool Track Saw. I decided to build 2 MFTs, one 48" x 32" and another 4' x 8'. I'm going to include the Parf Guide System in my "Best Money Spent on Tools" category. After reading the instructions and watching some videos, this tool is easy to use and unbelievably accurate! It took me 2 hours to drill all of the holes in the 48" x 32" MFT. After completion of hole drilling, I used my Woodpeckers MFT Layout & Assembly Square to check all of the holes for alignment. The bench dogs slid in every hole snugly with no play in the square. Now I need to shop for more TSO accessories!

Accurate and Precise MFT top drilling jit
I have finally had a chance to use this jig and I am very impressed. Having watched Peter Parfitt videos, for me the process of drilling the 3mm and then the 20mm holes was a breeze, in fact quite enjoyable. It amazes me how great engineering of solutions can make use of basic geometry principles to create a completely accurate system of, in this case, drilling a square hole pattern. Kudos to Peter Parfitt for creating this system and to TSO Products for making it available in the U.S. I am creating two MFT tops to take to work at the local Woodcraft store.....in just materials, the savings over Festool's replacement is significant, plus the process is enjoyable.

UJK PARF GUIDE SYSTEM MARK II
Precise well made jig, perfect for the MFT portable table I needed to make

Accurate and easy to use!
No regrets with this purchase. I was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive this product was to use. Once you get it started, it's almost mind numbingly easy, as you march around the rest of the work piece. Very high quality. Should last for many years. No other tool comes close to producing this kind of accuracy at this speed, at this price. And you can take it with you, unlike a CNC machine...

MK2
System is great, worked as expected with instructions and some YouTube videos. Order & shipping as expected. Great customer service for offering a replacement due to coating scratches out of the box.

Incredibly accurate
This system is quite impressive. I was constantly surprised at how well everything lined up. Unbelievable tolerances. I am now able to make these work tops wherever I want and as large as I want. Great system.

PARF Guide Mark II
I've made a standard 45/90 degree & an Isometric (30 & 60 degree) table using this system. I can tell you that this worked absolutely perfect. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It was worth every penny spent. It's easy to use and laying out a table is actually a lot of fun...but a lot of meticulous work, too. The results, though, make it all worth the effort. If you're on the fence about buying this, don't hesitate. It'll more than pay for itself. The final results of all your projects will certainly show how worthy your purchase was. And if you have any issues on how ot start your layout, search YouTube for Peter Parfitt and he'll guide you along. Good luck with all your projects!!

Precision Tool for Precision Results
This tool is well made and very precise. I found it exceptionally easy to use create an MFT style worktop using it. I would suggest also getting the Chamfer tool to apply a finished edge to the 20 mm holes and the vacuum port to manage the cuttings. When drilling MDF, the cuttings tend to foul the hole unless they are removed.
