Hi,

It should be in the user manual?
www.bosch-pt.com/boptmanuals/gb/en/

Have you seen the new guide rails for the latest machine?

I have the same question - my model is a GKS160.
Would it work with these new FSN rails?

thanks for clearing that up.
That means I'll have to plunge in to a tracksaw system, and the Bosch, Festool, Makita and DeWalt seem to be very similar.
The Makita and DeWalt seem to be fairly interchangeable with the Festool - e.g. Festool accessories work in/with the Makita tracks.
Bosch isn't clear about this. In their marketing blurb, they mention that it's compatible with "competitor systems". I've seen people claiming that that means compatibility with Mafell tracks.

So, can anyone clarify this? If I buy the GKT55 with a 1.6m track, will I be able to use it in say a Festool table, like the MFT 3 with its squaring system, will I be able to use the Festool 495717 parallel guides with the Bosch tracks?

These are important considerations, as seamless compatibility would mean not being locked into a system. Even if buying mostly Bosch, it would be good to have the option of buying accessories regardless of brand.

So not even the Festool/Makita/DeWalt clamps will work with these FSN?

And what about the Mafell tracks. Can be FSN tracks be integrated in a Mafell track+accessories setup?

Also, will these FSN tracks be useable with GOF or POF routers? E.g. by using some baseplate adapter - thus creating an integrated system like Festool.

A large part of the problem is that there isn't that much information available on the FSN tracks/system. Bosch could release a pdf manual for it and a few detailed drawings/description.

final question: does the GKT55GCE kit come with a blade? which one?
Since Bosch's own don't seem to be available for sale yet (I would want the 2608642384), are there viable alternatives in 165mm, 20mm bore and the right kerf?
