Thanks for the pics.  I'll be doing the same tonight!

Thank you for reviving the topic and posting pics of your upgrade.  I'm loving it!!

Thanks for all the info! I'm getting my CMS-GE in  couple of days; I already have a pair of Jessem Clear Cut Guides, and I like the featherboard arrangement so much I just ordered a pair of Festool Crown Stops from Shane. Add a pair of Jessem featherboards, and I'm set to go. That definitely looks preferable to the OEM arrangement.

Will I need to change the bolts on the Clear Cut Guides to fit the Festool fence T-track? Specific recommendations?

I swapped to T bolts

I have them and they work fine in the CMS fence. They work even better in the Incra LS fence. Most folks here know that I am a big fan of the MFT + CMS-VL + Incra LS positioner + Precision Plate. Make a great setup and drastically more repeatable than the Fessy fence. Not for the feint of wallet though...

Cheers. Bryan.

Dear Bryan, interesting setup and thanks for sharing. Could you possibly post a picture for noobie's like myself.

Cheers
