Guide rails

As far as I'm aware no, only the plunge saw will run on the guides, that and routers with the attachment.

 

The rails were designed for their range of dedicated plunge saws only, don't know if they have changed the design with later versions to used with other tools.

 

Because unlike Festool they didn't think it through first.

 

Or perhaps they did! ££££££££££££££££££££

 

I use may Makita router on my Festool rail when finishing off a worktop end - sits just right and works fine as long as the cutter is not knackered and just skimming a few mm.

 

I have the Dewalt plunge saw and it runs on the Festool rails. But I believe the Festool will not run on the Dewalt rails.

I also have the 18v XR you are looking at and it will work fine on the rails. It doesn't clip on the rail like a plunge saw does but it will sit on the track up against the ridge and will work fine for trimming doors etc. The saw is a great great cordless saw and is really useful.

Hate your profile picture by the way. Makes you come across like a proper tool. Sorry to be blunt but I don't tend to mince my words. Maybe I am missing a joke or something.

 

Perhaps he's the worlds worst kennel plumber.

 

You might be right there mate.

Tell you something if anyone called anyone of the fairer sex in my family a ***** they wouldn't be looking the wrong end of a supersoaker they would be looking at the wrong end of a framing nailer.
