amt said:It was not obvious to me either when I discussed my options with Festool. When they told me I would not be exchanging the track and only the saw, I guess I should have asked why that would matter to me. Anyway, I'll probably just try plunging those cuts and see if that's acceptable to me. On a related note, I am glad that when I bought the TS55R I also got a 118" instead of a 106" for my second track. I really had no reason to go for the 118 other than I thought, "why cut only 8 feet, when I could cut 9". And while I am whining, would have been nice if all tracks had the holes for LR32" [wink]
I went 118 so I could cut a 4x8 sheet diagonally if the need should ever arise, no connectors and no limits on a 4x8 sheet. And a big amen on having a hole option for any length rail!!
