[member=4105]tjbnwi[/member] do the rods need to be calibrated?

Yes, that is why I highly recommend two sets of stops if you're going to be ripping a lot of narrow and "normal" sizes. Calibrate each once.

Thanks Tom (also for the picture).
Does that mean the narrow stock rods connect to the stop directly?

Are you recommending a separate set of T-tracks for a narrow-stock rod/stop combo?
Or just an additional narrow-stock rod/stop combo to be used with the same T-track as a normal stop?

Best regards,

Best regards,

If you’re doing a lot of narrow rips get the entire setup. If it’s only once in awhile get the rods and another set of stops.

Thank you Tom.

All: your interest and patience is appreciated - thank you [smile]
Our patience is even more put to the test as we work to complete the remaining tasks before shipments can begin [tongue]

We do think the mid-march time frame represents the best estimate for shipment launch. Last week we completed another production run of T-track extrusion - literally more than a mile (!) long. Now cutting, de-burring, machining, anodizing and laser engraving before assembling and kitting.

We have completed our packaging multi-corner drop tests in a lab environment. As I write this, we are road testing our packaging designs by shipping multiple actual products across the country and back using our regular parcel carrier, UPS. Barring unexpected test results,we will receive production packaging in time for mid-march shipment start.

To be clear, when you say you will start shipping, you mean take orders and start shipping?? I assume up to now we have not been able to make any orders for the early adopter sets??

 

[tjbnwi]

Due it a material change I had to trim some island legs that are too large for the Kapex.

I had a few options;

table saw, was not able to slide the legs smoothy along the table

Laguna sliding table saw, does not cut square

TS 75 CMS insert, use sliding table, works but means a change over for step 2

TSO PG's are what I went with.

Cuts;


Step 2;

[member=67057]rj_mccall[/member] - you are correct. we're waiting for updated packaging to be delivered. Looks like there is going to be very little time difference in availability - between the EARLY ADOPTER plan and final production - we tried . . .

How does one get in on the early adopter plan or did i miss it?

 

[Michael Kellough]

Just write Hans, but it may not be what you think. “Early adopter” refers to the earliest buyers of the GRS before the 6mm holes were added that will allow attachment of the new rails. TSO wanted to send out a jig (in advance of the rails being ready) to make it easy for the early adopters to add those holes but it looks like everything will happen more or less at the same time.

[member=59331]TSO Products[/member] Hans I'm really excited about your parallel guide. To use the guide for ripping will I need two GRS-16?

[member=4105]tjbnwi[/member] Tom please more of those videos  [thumbs up] by the way you need a helper to turn your pieces  /raise hand

[member=62097]Mario[/member] - we also have a Guide Rail Adapter in the works as an alternative to using one or two GRS-16's. One adapter is designed to handle the left or right T-track set as needed. If you need two T-tracks for a series of cuts then you will need two Adapters or a combination GRS-16 and one Adapter.
It will be available as a single item for customers who want to use it with just one GRS-16. We don't have a price yet but it will obviously quite a bit less than another GRS-16 but, unlike the GRS-16,  can only perform one function [wink]

Thank you Hans. The day we had that first discussion I knew I made a mistake  [crying] We all learn from our mistakes  [embarassed]
