I'd love to get in on that deal, but they don't ship to the US. It's got me wondering though: Why are these things are going so cheap?

Agree - price seems almost too good. Intend to get shorter 800mm/1100mm rails at some point + another connector - will be comparing closely. Just hope they check out o/k on initial inspection. Weird thought - wonder if some sotr of 'loss leader.'

Or Bosch is not longer going to carry the product.

I wonder if this is the case. It seems like another dealer had them on clearance a few months ago too. Bosch does not seem eager to bring the track saw to the US either.

What's odd is that they recently introduced an accessory for the rails: FSN OFA. Of course no one seems to have those in stock. fuzzylogic, I wouldn't worry about the quality. I got a set from toolstop and they were fine. They look fine to me. I've got a real Mafell rail on the way so I'll be able to compare, but I don't expect any difference other than the color. As the others have said: I wonder if they've got something new coming, or just dropping it all together. I'd like to see the rails wider so i could use Rip Dog 'Guide Dogs'. Just as long as they join like the current ones

Some are available. If you go to the UK eBay site there's a fair amount of new Bosch rails and accessories available, which had let me to the bailing out theory. Two sites say the have the router guide available, but only one posts to the USA.
With the Bosch products being private labeled Mafell products I would expect them to on of the same quality.

I emailed Toolstop recently about getting Bosch's FSN OFA 32 Kit. Their response below:
Hello,
Unfortunately I'm not sure if we will be stocking this in the near future though if you keep checking the site it is updated daily. Also I doubt we would ship outside the UK with the guiderail as they are very easily damaged.
Regards
David Longmuir
Funny he mentioned not shipping rails to the US for fear of damage... I'm pretty sure a few of us have received the FSN guide rail kits from them? Maybe I didn't reach the right guy.

That's really funny…I am one that purchased the two 160 rails & connector & bag from them. The shipping was extremely fast & no damage on mine.

Hey Cali! Glad you signed up.
I beleive it's the F210 at 6,9 ft long
BUT and this is a big but, and others will echo this, attaching rails is NOT an issue like with festool. And these rails are more stout.
I believe you have a pretty long festool?
