    Default BNIB: TSO products Guide Rail Square, Bigfoot, and a Makita rail connector

    The TSO products are new, in sealed boxes, untouched by Australian eyes. The makita rail connector (compatible with Festool rails) is lightly used.

    1. TSO GRS-16 guide rail square. These were $350+ when last listed by carbatec. TSO still sells them for US$160 before international postage. I have no idea how the quality of the licensed festool version compares (ie are Festool's cheaper version cheap because of their huge manufacturing capacity etc, or because they're made from cheaper materials). $160

    2. TSO Bigfoot: I'm not sure that you can even get these in Aus anymore. They were around $180 from carbatec; US$80 new, plus international post. $120

    3. Makita Guide rail connectors - work with Festool rails. Light use. New = $45. $25

    Postage extra - all light items so standard Aus post rates from Newcastle NSW, or come and collect. Free coffee if you collect.

    I use several of TSO's products - they are superbly made and very well thought out. They address specific weaknesses in the original Festool systems, and do it very well.

    For those wondering about the festool guide square I have had the tso as shown above for a while now. A friend recently bought the festool version and we compared them. Apart from the colour and the branding they seem to be identical.

    It definitely doesn't seem like they are a cheaper copy. Quite frustrating for those of us that bought the tso at what was obviously a highly inflated price, although for the use it has had definitely worth it.

    I think it's more a volume thing than the TSO version being a "highly inflated price".
    Festool is a huge manufacturer and accordingly can afford to invest in the sort of CNC milling machinery that TSO, being small concern, can only dream about.
