Holy Rail Question

[sancho57]

I use 2 1400 holy rails and connect them with no issues whats so ever.  On the end stops that come with the LR 32 system when you look at the side that has the 16 stamped on it you will also see a equal sign = stamped on it. Place the equal sign in the center of the gap between the 2 rails and you got 32mm to continue routing holes in material.

Its easy, never needed anything more that the festool connectors and the LR 32 end stops to achieve great results

Question...is the 496938 just a spacer to get the "holey rail" properly spaced and then you still need two of the 482107 connectors?  The description does say you still need the 482107 connectors, so I am assuming the 496938 is just a spacer though its description says it is a "guide rail connector".

Yes, 496938 is just a spacer for rail and panel alignment. If you are connecting two "holey rails" together, you need two of the 482107 connectors or the Makita equivalents.

I am glad that I read this thread. I was thinking of purchasing an LR rail to connect to the regular rail that I use for my track saw. My logic was that being Festool they could interconnect and then I could have the LR holes when I needed them and a longer track when I need more than the 1400mm. Darn.

Unless I miss understood you, yes you can. You can connect a FS 1400/2 (regular) and a FS 1400/2 (LR32) together.

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

I have always thought the 95" was an odd length for drilling holes. I suppose it might fit a 96" tall cabinet or shelf? I guess it depends what type units are being built. Perhaps the length works with the whole 32mm Euro system?

Anyway for hole drilling I guess it would be convenience. I could see situations where 110" would be too long to fit such as drilling cabinets after assembly. And I  think  there are probably some dollars built into the price for shipping cost on all of the longer rails. Just guessing on the latter.

So you could store it in houses that were build in the '90s and early '00s when Dutch law stated a minimum of 2,4m for ceiling height (Yuk yuk yuk)?

Nah, just kidding.

Ikea Pax cabinets are offered in lenghts of 2,01m and 2,36m. The 2424mm rail can be used for making something similar. Standard sheetgoods are also 2,44m here.
