OK, so I'm very close on pulling the trigger on a new Festool TS55 REQ. It'll be my first foray into the world of Festool! While I haven't done enough woodworking to validate the cost, I do a heck of a lot of remodeling and rennovating houses, and I see uses for a track saw in that all the time. Plus I'll be able to use it for woodworking.
Anyway.... I'm going to buy online (sorry local stores, the taxes are just too much on such an expensive tool). The online store I'm looking at allows you to swap the 55" rail that comes with the saw to another size- you just pay (or are refunded) the difference.
So what size would you reccomend? If the 55" the ideal size to buy first, or do I want to go with a larger size like the 75"? If I do go with the 55" size, is the one with the hole guides useful? It's only $5 more than the plain 55" rail.
Thanks!
