Thread: Festool Guide rail vs. Triton

I have a Festo TS55, MFT, 14" extended band saw, 12" SCMS, Triton 2000, 10" Jet table saw and now I need a bigger shed ;-)

Hi. If Festo can't handle narrow cuts why include all other systems?
10 years ago we found a way to do narrow cuts with
the smart clamps and clamping system.
For repetability we invented the ez repeaters ( long before Festo come up with something similar) and now we can't make our EZ-ONE powerbench fast enough
for the US market.

The biggest problem that we found over the first decase was the limitations of other similar systems and the believe that if festo can't do it...you need a tablesaw.
Today, an ez user posted this at the tracksawforum.

Sad Yet Happy Day - The Track Saw Forum

I'm not trying to start a debate or to get free advertising.
I think, If we provide all the facts and not only from "our" beloved tools
we can help new woodworkers to stay away from dangerous tools and find better solutions.
The solutions are outhere and there is no reason to stop information because we don't use the "other solutions".

Thanks
My goal is to promote a better method for woodworking.
The Dead Wood Concept.
Superior to tablesaw and many outdated tools and ways.
Keep in mind that almost everything today is made from panels.
The tablesaw was invented before the panel technology.

Woodworking is not a team sport.
