parallel guide extensions

[alice]

I was just wondering how some of you felt about parallel guide ext pros and cons

Honestly I think that the extensions are an essential part of the system because the help balance the entire assembly.  I recognize that the follow up posts to mine will be about promoting the virtues of every other type of system that was developed by others AFTER the introduction of the Festool products, but I enjoy my Festool parallel guides, I keep the extensions installed whenever I can, and I have learned to adapt to any operational difficulties that have come my way.

The extensions are the part that make them actually useful in my opinion.

Anything else (including all of the other contraptions on the market) only achieve the same result you can get with couple of straight edges and a few clamps!

... level of "cumbersome" may vary [wink] [big grin]

They work but the design flaw is they hang down from the board surface -- hard to get them flush    pain in the patoot.  Ron Paulk came up with a fix for this in one of his videos.
