I would add an 800 rail and a connector. So get a 1.6, 1.1 and 0.8 rails 2 conectors, angle fence that to me give the best options all round

I like having either a long rail- over 8'- and a 160, or three of the 160s to avoid a lot of connecting and disconnecting when breaking down sheets. That said the connectors are amazing so not really an issue unless you are going to be changing back and forth all the time.

I'd go ahead and get the case and angle fence. The track case can accomodate 4+ tracks in the main section, and the Angle Unit fits in the side pouch of the track case. The Angle Unit is already proving to be very handy!

For those that don't use a carrying bag for rails, know Mafell made sure leave a reserved space for the angle fence in the MT55cc systainer.

My angle fence is an older version and doesn't fit in the box

MT 55, rails, etc. arrived yesterday. All were packed securely and arrived in good condition! For some reason, the saw always appeared to me to be on the larger side but in reality it is average and fits my "medium" sized hands well. The saw seems built very well and that quick blade change method is very nice. The rail bag is built tough with a heavy duty fabric and nice large zippers and pulls. The ends of the bag have what I guess is a flexible plastic "sandwiched" in between the fabric that bends around the top and bottom which will protect the rails from slight jarring. (Nice detail) Hopefully get to some actual use this weekend when time allows.
