what's included with the parrallel guide set?

[MrMac]

I've been searching all over the place, can't figure out if it is just the extention things, or also includes those banjo fittings. Where would I look to find out?

Thanks!

Laurie.

I don't know what "banjo fittings" you're referring to, but it includes everything.  You either get just the parallel guides (long ones) or the extensions or the full set of both.

thanks Ken, sorry for the poor description. It''s the little 1/2 hoop things that attach to the fittings, I'll do some more research tonight when I get home so I can post the correct name of them.

Those hoops (half circles) are part of the extensions and allow the saw blade to pass thru without cutting the extensions.  If you don't ever see a need for ripping small pieces, probably not worth getting the full set.  Just so you know, I've found that the mount mechanism on the large guides blocks some of the measurement scale.  I believe I was trying to do a rip 180mm from the blade, but couldn't set the stop because I couldn't see that part of the scale.  They aint perfect and not well thought out! --- my opinion.
