TS55 REBQ new splinter guard?

[aas]

Hi,

I was looking to buy some spare right hand side splinter guards, 499011, and I noticed that the splinter guards shown on the Festool site are different to the one I have.

I have the new model, build date Jan 2015, has the new style base/cam adjusters.

Is anyone aware of this, or know of the part number for the new style splinter guards?

On the EKAT there are 3 versions of the TS 55 REBQ: #498500, #500602, #500898.
All three have the same splinter guard #499011 which looks like the picture below.
How does the new splinterguard look like then and what partnumber does your TS 55 have?
The 500 series all have the new baseplate with a different type of rail adjusters. Which has come across on the FOG last week.

I've photographed on the screen next to the image you posted so you can see the differences...
Only number on the back is 10000290 - made Dec 2014

Indeed another model of the splinter guard.
I think the EKAT is not yet updated.
But both models will suit the TS 55 REBQ because the blade guard itself has not been changed.
