[geo4848]

will the ts55 run on Dewalt rails? and will festools parallel guide work on a Dewalt track saw?

I know I should have just bought a ts55

No

.. and will festools parallel guide work on a Dewalt track saw?

If you mean the parallel guides for the guiderail, then yes, in combination with a festool guiderail.

Ebay the Dewalt and buy a TS55 ?

Don't know you're circumstances - but that'd be my choice.

Kev.

Ya at first the Dewalt seems like a good deal as you get a cross cut  rail and a ripping rail in the package, but it comes down to build quality and compatibility. While dewalt's saws will work on a festool rail, you might have well of just gotten teh festool as it's a more solid piece of kit IMO. I own neither but have used both.
