Thread: Protool saw compatible with festool guide?

Aparently protool has two lines of circular saws, the smaller circular saws (up to 85 mm cutting depth) and the bigger ones (from 85mm up), they make to versions of the 85mm saw. The saws that can bevel up to 45° use a rail that is the same as the festool rails link to picture
The saws that can bevel up to 60° use a different rail, and don't cut at the edge of that rail.
For the festool-type rail protool has a few handy attachments that aren't offered under the festool brand, like a straight-edge attachment and a angle guide that looks like it would work better than the festool version.

I have no hands-on experience with the protool saws, nor with working with fibercement siding material (just the gulfed roofpanels), but from what I've read elsewhere a lot of people like the shears (there also exist models you can hook up to a cordless drill)
