Simple answer: no.
The inserts of he CMS-GE work with the Basis, the inside dimensions are the same.
But the profiles on the outside are different. The Basis has standard C profiles on the outside while the CMS-GE has the V profile. All CMS attachments use the V profile.

As far as I know, Festool doesn't sell them anymore.
But I do know when I visit a dealer here in Holland I sometimes find they still have accessories for the Basis on their shelves, so at least here it would be possible to buy what you need if you put some effort in it. We also have a lively trade in second hand Festools here in Holland, and it would be fairly easy to find elements of the Basis system.
But I have no idea how that situation is for you, in Norway. Never been there, don't know the market there. You have a lot of Festool dealers around?

Thanks for reply! No, not a lot of dealers, no big market and prices are crazy high...
I will keep my eyes on ebay and give my dealer a call, I guess I'm probably doomed though...
Maybe this is the reason I've been waiting for to buy CMS-GE instead? ;D

Hi Moody,
I doubt you will find somebody willing to sell only the sliding table. It will be sold as an entire unit, see link.
And remember you pay extra tax when shipping to Norway. [crying] From time to time I plan a trip to The Netherlands to buy the Green Stuff. [drooling]
Motek is ok, but remember to check the festool website for ALL the available parts and possibilities. Even better is to download the catalogue and have a look for yourself. Motek places '32' in front of the festool part numbers and can deliver within 2 til 3 weeks.
As a last option you could try to phone or mail a dealer in Germany and let him search for the missing parts
Good luck !

Good luck !Thanks for your reply, but I am pretty sure Festool used to sell the sliding table (SAS 500) and the miter gauge (WRA 500) separately back then.
Got a mail direct from Festool confirming they do no longer sell these parts though, I have to try my luck on ebay or just step up to the CMS instead.
