CMS-GE Scale

[Ivan T]

I was in Woodcraft yesterday and saw a scale on their CMS. My CMS-GE did not come with a scale. I can not find the scale on EKAT or as an accessory. Where can I get the scale.[attachimg=1]

The CMS-GE unit itself does not come with a scale.

The scale only comes with the modules for the TS55 and TS75, which are not available in North America.

In America the CMS is only sold in conjunction with the CMS-OF module for routers. This module also does not come with the scale. I can see how it's confusing to see one with a scale at a dealer. Probably a demo only model and not meant to be sold to the public.

Its not a part of the CMS GE, but (maybe more types) a part of the ts75 insert.
It is partnumber 493761
I have the 75 insert and it is listed in ekat at the 75 insert

As you probably already know is that the table in your picture is not a CMS-GE but a MFT/3-VL.
The scale for this table (493761) should also fit your CMS-GE because it has the same screw spacing as the scale itself.
At least in Europe because the MFT/3-VL is NAINA to my knowledge.

Aha, I thought the CMS looked oddly wide, but couldn't quite place it.

The MFT/3-VL is in the USA Ekat, so he should be able to order the scale.

If that right he's a lucky man.
But I think Shane will soon react that the MFT/3-VL and parts are both NAINA despite the USA-EKAT.

Wut? Why? The MFT/3-VL is also on the USA website as part of the entire router table package.

I have the CMS-VL and it has the scale.

Thank You everyone.
I should have checked with Tom first. He always takes good care of me.
I am going to be at Festool Training in a couple of weeks and I have started a list of items I would like to get if I can.

Yes. The VL comes with the scale. If you get the TS insert for it, another set of scales come with it. Don't ask me how I know.

Cheers. Bryan.
