NEW TSO TPG-30 Parallel Guide

[Sanderxpander]

Sooo... If the preorders are only available through your own website, does that mean you'll ship internationally? Or is that deal only for US residents?

[member=66046]Sanderxpander[/member] - we will ship on-line orders internationally when we have production on the shelf ready-to ship. At the moment we are not set up to process "pre-orders" - just taking names for notification when product is in stock.

The Early Adopter offer applies to a limited amount of finished product  we will be able to ship this month. This short program will be replaced in late March by a full-line introductory offer covering the whole menu of TPG System elements.

The full TPG line will also be available through our international dealers.

The lively interest spurs us on - really does [smile]

I was wondering if I could get more clarification on the offerings that are on the website. I’ve tried reading this thread and website but still can’t figure it out.

Can you explain the difference between:
TPG 30 (SKU:61-353) and TPG 20 & 30 Left/Right Hand Parallel Guide (SKU:61-352 & 61-351)

Also what’s the difference between:
TPG 30 R (SKU:61-350) and TPG 20 & 30 Right Hand Parallel  Guide (SKU:61-351) other than the 20 in track and narrow stock rod.

My intention is to get the entire set, both sides (20, 30, and 50 when available). Would I just need to purchase the TPG 30 (SKU:61-353) first and then purchase the 20 in and 50 in tracks separate?

Sorry I tried reading all the descriptions but still came out confused... [blink]

Thanks!

[member=65145]manuc[/member] - if you were to purchase "the entire set, both sides (20, 30, and 50 when available)" the total would be $ 324.85 introductory pricing.
Give us a few days to resolve the image difficulties on our website and it will become a lot easier- thank for bearing with us at the moment.

Hans,

Looking at the pictures on the TSO web site, I was thinking that the TSO parallel guide could also be used with the LR32 system.  An offset would have to be used when setting the scales.  Unlike the Festool guide rails, the TSO ones could be left in place making it easier to drill holes in multiple boards without having to reset the guide rails.

Is that something you have looked into?

Thanks,
Bob

I regularly do this with my precision dogs' parallel system... I think it would be a great idea to have different length arms as part of a set. I have one set of 24" arms and am regularly wishing for 12 or 18" or 36" for all the different things I do....

Thanks Hans. Unfortunately I purchased the Insta RailSquare before I new TSO made one. Now I’ll have to try and sell that and purchase your set. Look forward to seeing all the images.

[member=66813]rmhinden[/member] @Farming-Sawyer [member=65145]manuc[/member]  YES, the use of the LR-32 is envisioned actually beginning just with the GRS-16 for dado-ing. Now we need someone to show how they;ll use it with the LR-32 for shelf pin hole setting.
Thanks for bringing that up. Maybe we can persuade @Poplar Shop to come out of YouTube retirement and show how [smile]

[member=59331]TSO Products[/member] you might want to reach out to [member=1146]Brice Burrell[/member] for help.  He came up with some really cool ideas with the Festool parallel guides years ago.

So we have the Left OR Right TPG-30 priced at $130, and the combination Left And Right TPG-30 and 50 priced at $325.

I can't work out why the combination is $65 more than 2x the individual left and right sets. What is included as extras?

Don't know.  Perhaps contacting them via email might get you answers you wish.

[member=68255]dr.r.lam[/member] - the difference is the inclusion of a pair of 50 inch T-tracks

Hans,

I have to admit that I'm a little puzzled by the pricing also.

The TPG 30R (no 20" track or long stop) @ $129.95 - is this correct?

The TPG 20 & 30 L or R (with 20" track and long stop) @ $129.95

The TPG 30 L & R (with 20" track and long stop) @ $324.95  - would think that this would be around $260 (or 2X $129.95)

The TPG 50 (everything) @ $324.95 - this makes sense as the total of the $260 for both TPG 30's + $65 for the (2) 50" tracks

[member=65072]tomp[/member]  - @dr.l.lam  -no wonder you are puzzled. the a-la-carte pricing table somehow did not translate to the product category page.
We will figure out on Sunday why it doesn't show - and see we get it to go live. I'll post an update here after I have verified it's up live.

Hans

PS: just tried to attach the pricing table and it would not accept it - same problem with pictures lately - hmm

Hans: your website is confusing. 

It appears the following are included:
TPG 20 & 30 R ($129.95) includes right hand 20 and 30 T-Tracks, 1 flip stop, a calibration rod and two attachment knobs.
TPG 20 & 30 L ($129.95) includes left hand 20 and 30 T-Tracks, 1 flip stop, a calibration rod and two attachment knobs.
TPG 30 Early Adopter ($129.95) includes right hand 30 track, 1 flip stop, a calibration rod and two attachment knobs.
TPG 30 ($324.95) includes right and left 20 and and 50 T-Tracks, 2 calibration rods and 4 attachment knobs.

It looks as if the Early Adopter purchaser will get the 20 T-Track in March/April which, at that time, gives you the TPG 30 R set.  I thought I saw that "early adopters" would pay $109.95 and would get a coupon for the 20 and calibration rod at a discounted price but I cannot, however, find where I previously saw this offer. 
I also do not understand why anyone would purchase the TPG 30 for $324.95 when the TPG 50 set provides all of the items included in the TPG 30 set plus the 50 track.

[member=65710]Pompeio[/member]  - did you see the price list attachment on REPLY # 135? - without that visibility it is confusing.
We're hard at work to fix these website issues.

Hans
Thank you for the clarification as I missed the attachment.  I am looking forward to giving you some of my money!

 

[supimeister]

Hans,

Thanks for attaching the pricing - that clears up most of my confusion. 

I am still confused about what makes the early adopter set, sku #61-350, special?  How is this not identical to 61-351?

 

[Michael Kellough]

[member=18813]supimeister[/member]  #61-350 Is a limited time product.
It will be replaced by #61-351 which will cost $149.95.

But you’re right, it’s the same stuff.
