CSC SYS 50 metric measuring scale?

[prjones]

From what I see at my local dealer, the CSC SYS 50 in the US comes with an imperial measuring scale. Has anyone swapped it out for a metric scale? If so, how did you get the part from Festool and ensure accuracy when you changed it out. Thanks!

Your dealer can get it special order for you.

Two parts required are (prices are CDN from mine)
10319595 price $14.00
10324793 price $11.00

I never got as far as ordering/installing though.  That said, it's one screw and the engraving on the bed is your kerf-right?/kerf-center.  Can't remember for sure, but the trunnion should have been calibrated-ish to that - so your new tape should set be to that marker too.

I just installed a set that I got from KJP Select Hardwoods.

I ordered the set directly from Festool.
To position it, I locked the fence at a convenient setting on the inch scale, removed the scale, then adjusted the position of the metric scale to match.
