Festool Guide Rail Attachment

[Waka]

I've been looking at the festool angle attachment for the TS55 guide rail system, a bit pricy at 62 GBP. Does anyone have one and are they worth the expence etc?

Negative and positive responses welcome.

Hi Waka

John Lucas at Woodshopdemos used it here.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Waka,

I have it and like it. It's nice if you need to fit boards, tops etc. in corners. If you want a jig for accurate 90° angles, I'd recommend to buy a large engineer's square.
John Lucas did a nice improvement on his angle unit. I've been tempted to try the same but I can't convince myself to drill a hole in my angle attachment.

Hope this helps,

Christian

Woodythepecker has one and seems to like it. See this thread https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3791&highlight=festool+angle

Guys

Thanks for the responses, I especially liked the workshop demo, also after reading the thread from Woody and convinced that this is the way to go.

I can use the money I'd have spent on going to all the shows.

Go for it, it is an excellent accessory.
