New modified TS55 REQ base?

[sylthecru]

I was at woodcraft yesterday and realized the base on their demo ts55req is different from my saw (ts55req).

The new base now have a -1 tab hence keeping the saw at 90 degrees.

Yeah, they added this earlier this year, presumably in response to the many complaints here and elsewhere that it was sometimes difficult to achieve a dead 90 cut due to the lack of a positive stop at the front of the saw.  The TSC55 also has the stop.
