NEW TSO TPG-30 Parallel Guide

Hans,
Can you clarify what length the final production model lengths will be?
I presume they will be with your international resellers later in the year?
I need a L version for use with the MFT attached GRS-16PE behind the stock? An R version if using the square infront of the stock?
When you swap rails is any calibration needed or is this a one-time setup done on the stops rather than with the rails?

I bought a GRS-16 PE rail square from TSO at the end of last year and really like it. Haven't used it yet for long rips yet. I'm excited about this new offering too but as far as cost remember to add the cost of the square and if it ends up an additional guide/square is required at the far end of the work piece this solution becomes more expensive than others. Not bashing the product - I most likely will purchase one.

Hans/Eric - after seeing so many posts by Tom on this I want a BLUE one!
Will the production version have a steel rule like Tom's?
Thanks,
Mike

[member=4518]Mike Goetzke[/member] - the production TPG will have the scales laser engraved - you can see detail in one of the thumbnails on our website:

Do you ship internationally? Any idea of cost to The Netherlands? I know GereedschapPro BV stocks your products but I'd rather enjoy the early adopter price. Or will that be available from them as well?

[member=10397]Hans[/member] , this picture shows dual metric/imperial scales but the imperial only goes down to 1/16”. Tom’s prototype only has imperial but down to 1/32”. I’d rather have imperial only if that’s the only way to get the finer increment. 1/32” is .008” finer than 1mm. When we have to work in imperial it makes a difference.

Responding to all:
we have listed the configuration contents of all the TPG elements on the TSO website.https://tsoproducts.com/tpg-parallel-guide-system/
We just discovered that our eCommerce platform has a glitch that will not let us display Regular Price and Sale Price. [sad]
So prices now shown are INTRODUCTORY SALE PRICES only and subject to change without notice. As soon as we can resolve the website issue we will address the pricing display limitation and add the missing product pictures next week [smile]

• 20 inch Track advantage: ease of handling when making narrower cuts for shelf uprights and shelves and Upper Cabinets, for example. Also fits into SYSTAINER with FlipStop attached at set location for re-use tomorrow. Nothing to do with Narrow Stock Rod.
• 30 inch Track can be used for Narrow Stock which requires use of both LEFT and RIGHT Hand Tracks since there is not enough material width to reference squareness with GRS.
[member=68255]dr.r.lam[/member] you are correct: offering the choice of purchasing extra Track and FlipStops is intended to provide flexibility to match your TPG to your current project needs – including having several pieces dedicated to particular settings since it is so easy and quick to change out Track assemblies with FlipStop set.
[member=40801]Pnw painter[/member] with an eye to provide value we have chosen to offer parts of the system to reduce the outlay required to get more productive with particular jobs. Buy ‘em as your job requires
[member=68255]dr.r.lam[/member] you will be able to place your EARLY ADOPTER order online as soon as we have product ready to ship mid February. If you have signed up, you’ll automatically be notified.
[member=66875]simonh[/member] let’s refer to the TPG tracks in terms of the cut length they enable: nominal 20, 30 and 50 inch respectively. Actually the FlipStop can be moved beyond that length a bit but we avoid odd numbers in product naming. There is always a longer dimension available if needed. [member=66875]simonh[/member] – you can order the 50 inch T-track LEFT Hand so you can use your MFT/3 for cross and cut-to-length operation in step.
Calibration relates to the Guide Rail and saw blade being used. Really a once in along time adjustment. What we hear is that most woodworkers don’t re-calibrate unless the splinter guard is replaced or similar change occurs. Assuming that your parallel guide itself stay adjusted! It seems smart to have all your Guide Rails producing the same cut width – standardize.
[member=66046]Sanderxpander[/member] - Yes, this product will be available through our International Dealers when in full production except the EARLY ADOPTER available quantity is so limited as to restrict it to TSO online orders only.
[member=4518]Mike Goetzke[/member] – about tool cost: remember the TPG can do a LOT more and do it a LOT more efficiently and reliably accurate. If a woodworker uses FESTOOL or MAKITA track saws he really should invest in at least one GRS-16 first. That is so basic it should not figure into the Parallel Guide cost.
[member=4105]tjbnwi[/member] – a live video clip of the TPG in use in your shop would be a great benefit if you can someone else to hold the camera-phone while you set up and cut!
[member=297]Michael Kellough[/member] – no plans to engrave 1/32” increments. Our customer input tells us the critical part is repeatability of the cut rather than a specific dimension.
[member=69595]lerabotperche[/member] – GRC-12 is on a different thread on the FOG – more there in March.

Thanks for the very helpful pics Tom!
Maybe I can add a kind of vernier curser but I’ll still be jealous of your 1/32 rule.

Subject: TSO INSIDER email delivery
WE have been in touch with MailChimp, our distribution provider for the TSO INSIDER.
We have taken one step TSO can undertake: we changed our DNS to show the TSO INSIDER coming from TSOProducts.com rather than MailChimp. This was done to reduce the likelihood that SPAM filters consider MailChimp as an unwanted sender.
You, if interested in receiving email from TSO Products, need to add the following to your address book
info@tsoproducts.com
WE will continue to monitor our email distribution. We expect that this is one more area we need to continue to devote time and resources to. WE don't expect any quick and easy solutions but we'll stay after it for both our beenfit.
