They are pretty unique, I would quite like a set myself. Not seen anything else similar, just the Jesssems.

dpan,
Are you asking how to attach the guides to your Erika, or where to buy them?
I don't own them, however, based on the product photos and description the guides are designed to attach to an extrusion with (I'm guessing) 1/4-20 hardware. If you are using a Mafell fence extension you'll need to use M5. If you're not using an extrusion as part of your rip fence then you'll want to use the included T track and screw it to your fence.
If you're asking where to purchase them, I don't know where you are. In North America Lee Valley and many others have them. If you're not in NA perhaps contact JessEm for venders in your country.

Knight Woodworks, BOTH! It would be great to have some sort of parallel guide to attach to Erika 85 (front and back of the Erika side because the saw is in the middle, you know, it will be helpful to hold them while pushing the long timber into it in perfect straight line.
I have a rip fence but it need something to hold them while trimming in straight line without wasting it.
I am from Australia. It doesnt have to be JessEm. I am aware of combination track but the service on their end is unhelpful.

As I mentioned, attaching the guides appears to be strait forward.
It appears Lee Valley has them in stock and, I believe, will ship internationally. What the shipping costs, duty, etc would be I have no idea.
Good luck.

Thanks John. Which one are you referring for Lee Valley? Can you please point me to the right direction of that website eg provide a link of what you were talking about.

I have never used the JessEm table saw guides. Based on the images and product description I believe the guides go into T-track and are held in place with a nut and bolt. Does your rip fence have a T-track on the top surface? If so, then the JessEm guides should work. You may need to replace the provided nuts and bolts with different hardware.
If your fence doesn't have a T-track then you'll need to get an extrusion that works with your fence. Don't know for certain, I think the Mafell Fence guide extension # 038392 should work. Or get creative, the guides come with a T-track extrusion that can be mounted a square tube or some wood.

Thank you for your suggestion, Knight Wiidworks. I don't like to damage to my rip fence. Like you said, I will find a way when I free up my time as I have multiple projects ongoing as well.

Will do!
I saw your post regarding your incra, might considering about it but I don't the idea of having long table due to combo of router and table saw fence. Would prefer to separate them.

I agree, I have separate router table with and Incra on there too. It was such a good addition to the Erika, I would not want to be without it.
I am also working on a solution for an Incra on my Festool CS50. It is such a good fence, once you have used it, anything else is pretty annoying to use.

I even have a rip fence but i don't know if it is me because i noticed something's off - when i set to lock the fence at 14cm at the front where the push-pull stick is, and i could see 1mm at the back of the Erika. I thought this fence is supposed to match each like like a perfect square. See this link: www.incrementaltools.com/INCRA_LS_17_Range_Positioner_ONLY_p/ls17.htmI like this size because I don't need the long one, so I need to buy 2 extension support rail and extension table to drill out some holes for installing the incra ls 17 positioner.
