New bag for your tracks long enough to fit a 3000mm (118")

[ewils91]

I like what I see, I would love a pocket for the Betterly rail alignment tool and maybe one for a screwdriver??

I'd be in for 1 for sure.

Thanks,

Eddy Wilson

Is it going to be affordable
How rigid is the foam ?
Is there something separating the rails

 

[CrazyLarry]

4? pockets for holding quick clamp, FZ clamps, gecko and parallel guides

polythene dividers for separating rails along their lengths

Honestly FastCap will produce it only if they get a good feed back.  So I hope we get more people involve in this. So please tell your friends (track saw user) about this.

More of a question, say I want to transport a 75" and a 55" rail, how much extra padding is included or can be added so that these rails won't slide back and forth in the extra space inside a bag made for a 118" rail. In my example there is 43" of extra space inside the bag, maybe incorporate a good way to fold the bag over to hold smaller rails - velcro or snaps or something to hold the bag in a smaller configuration at pre determined spacing

I did talk to few guys who love their rails and they were all enthusiastic
about it
We were also in agreement that if holds ( protects) the -118 and a 72
Then we are in
That is 4 cases

Yes. When I was talking to Paul A. (Owner of fastcap). We knew that not everybody has the 118" (3000 mm) track. In that case the bag can fold down and can be attached with a strap or Velcro. Once again this is a prototype.  In my case I bring my 5 tracks to the place where I'm installing. One of that is the 118",75",55"(x2) & the 42". That's why I won't have to fold it down

If the bag can "collapse down" to smaller sizes, the handle may need some way to re-center in the middle of the bag.  With that foam, I am not sure there is an easy way to shorten up a bag. I do a lot of snowboarding and have had some crappy and decent board bags over the years. I would treat them one and the same.

I think this is an excellent opportunity for Paul to take good feedback and build a nice modular product.

If he doesn't, I might take a stab at it!  ;^)

Cheers. Bryan.

My concern is that the bag is 118in long.  I consider the 118 rail to be used in the shop being transportation of a 118 rail is hard to do with a 8ft truck bed.  I know that the thought is to have the bag roll or fold.  If you roll or fold the bag how much does this add to the thickness of the bag?  With the ts75 there is a lot of 75in rails why not make a bag for the 75in rail.  In my opinion it's too hard to carry a rail over 75in in a truck/job site.  All that being said, my vote is for a bag that will hold multiple rails under 75in.  I personally own 3 75in rails and a 55in rail for the ability to transport to job sites easily.  I don't think I would purchase a bag for a 118 rail even if it could be folded down.

Good point.

 

[pettyconstruction]

I like it and would be interested in one

I have several customers who would like a bag for 75 inch rails.  As stated before external pockets for accessories such as rail joiners, screw drivers, clamps, etc. would be great.

And just to add to that, if I am going to transport such a long rail -- which in my case has to go on the roof of the car or hang out the back window, I would want a hard case to ensure protection and no flexing.  That's why I built one for myself out of luan and pine.

I'm with Edward in the thinking the 118" rail is better transported in a hard case.  Another vote for a 75" rail bag.

  Ok here is a video. Please leave a comment on that video. Paul A. From FastCap is going to read the feed back from you guys. Thx  Sorry for my broken English

 

[Tyler Ernsberger]

Thanks for the video.  I still feel like a bag that long has a limited market due to its size.  I like the concept of the bag and would buy one if it was made to fit the 75in rail and not be longer than 80in.  It would be awesome if it had pockets for clamps.

Without at least re-enforced ends with corner protection it is worthless in my mind. Also missing is some internal strap / retainer to keep things from sliding, etc.

Take a look at ski/board bags.

I think that the long bag is a great idea, my only input that it would better if a piece of polycarbonate for a stiffner was incorporated to add stiffness and edge protection.  I stock and sell plastics and know that 10' polycarbonate is readily available.  3/16" or 1/4" would be perfect.  Actually ABS would be the best solution cost wise but 10' is not a standard available size.

 

[Tyler Ernsberger]

If they are really goingto make the bag that long they should consider some sort of tie down system so it could ride on top of your vehicle. Lol
