TSO GRE-13 Guide Rail Extension
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2021 6:48 pm
If you have the Festool 1400 rails, as in 55" ones it is still possible to cut 4 foot sheet goods but you have to watch where you position the rails so the saw is still supported on both ends of the run. Here they sell you a 13+ inch section of rail with connectors to make your life a little easier.

A little pricey at $75. Then what ever shipping is.......
As of now you have to get the rail and the connectors together and I already have the connectors so I think I will look at another option.
I have a 1080 rail that is damaged (not as careful as I should have been). It is 46" rail that is used on the MFT and while it still works it would be nice to have it replaced. I noticed I can get a replacement for $110, free shipping, but tax. I could then cut up my old one and have at least 2 good smaller 14" extensions. Kind of leaning on that idea. Might have to do a little cleaning up where the saw cuts the track but other then that I don't see anything that could be an issue.
Could make the 14" a different length but for the moment I don't see any other size that makes sense, but that could change.
