Ideal guide rail size to rip full length 4x8 sheets

[Coen]

I have recently noted that some sellers here (NL / DE) that used to sell the 3000... no longer do or only offer local pickup. Maybe they got burned a few times by shipping companies rough handling the rails, resulting in too many complaints?

As a site carpenter I just plain don't have the space for a 3000 rail and the 1400 rails (55 inch or 3.1428 cubits for the Merkins) fit across the width of my van.
Two 1400 rails do work with a TS55 for 2440 (5.485 cubits or 96") ply sheets but its tight, its worth just putting a pencil mark on the rails to show where they need to start on the plywood sheet.
Makes setting the cut up simpler.
A 1900 rail allied to a 1400 would be a good option but the 1900 wont fit across the van width and I'd have to put it somewhere else no biggie.
A 3000 just isn't happening though.

I joined a 1900 & 1400 for years but often needed the 1900 so eventually bought the 3000

Could also look at 1900 + 1080; together gives 2980 so plenty for 2440 cuts. The 1900 alone is plenty for 1220 cuts while the 1080 alone can do the 610mm cuts.
