Seth, Thanks for this list. I have been agonizing over which bench dogs to simplify my table to fence arrangements.
There are so many "dogs" out there, I can hardly sort them out for the din.
You have simplified my search for the best fit for my own uses.

Not sure if it qualifies given it's specific use but I just remembered the Colin's coping foot.  Don't think it works with the new jigsaw but I just put one on my older model

Also kind of dubious to call them an accessory but if you use Festool's rail connectors to join rails I highly suggest picking up some aftermarket M6 x 6mm set screws with a hex drive before you strip out the slotted set screws that come with the connectors.
 
Got my qwas dogs last week....super sweet..cant believed I lived without them...also installed the slopstop..seems to work great...now time to order the domiplate...looking forward to it...I've totally caught the bug
 
Regarding the Collins coping foot,  I ordered one for my PSB since I love the one for my Bosch. It is exactly the same but with a small added slot for clearance. One could modify an existing foot to work with a PSB.

You got it bad dood…
 
Thanks for the links. I like the Seneca Parallel Guides, them look like they are easier to use than the Festool guide and allow for wider ripping.
 
I ordered the domino 1/2 ,3/4" offset fence from Seneca on their Labor day sale & asked if I could get the parallel guides as well at the special price BUT Seneca Woodworking  has a newly redesigned  rail guides that are just being released after Labor day so they didn't have the current in stock .
a cut & paste from a email from Ryan about the new stuff 
Michael,

Thank you for your order!    We're actually launching an improved version of the Parallel Guide system this week. Unfortunately because of that, it's not available at the Labor Day sale price.
here a vid review link for the Dominio new parts  as well    that  was emailed to me by  Ryan of Seneca as well

I've emailed Seneca Woodworking but no replies.  I'm interested in their Parallel Guides. Can someone tell me what the min/max cutoff dimensions are for various T-Track Plus lengths  (or any of them -- with values for one I can determine the others.)

Thanks!

Update:  I just heard from Ryan at Seneca.  The answer is:  Add 7" to the length of the T-Track Plus.  So, a set of 18" T-tracks would allow up to 25" of ripping capacity.
 
What's wrong with mentioning an American-made line of products for the MFT?
On this forum's advice, I went looking for the "Qwas" rail and bench dogs.  Way overpriced compared to similar offerings here:  http://www.precisiondogs.us
I have no idea how the quality/reputation compares, but a set of dogs from Precision costs $69, whereas same set from Qwas is $98.
 
Thank you Seth,

I just ordered a Betterley straight line connector. I've struggled with connecting my guide rails now for a while. It was just what I was looking for.  [big grin]
