Recon TS55 w/o Rail?
« on: January 23, 2011, 10:21 PM »
Shane - I'm interested in purchasing the reconditioned TS55 (20% off), but I would prefer to get it without the rail since I already have a TS75.  Is it an option to purchase the saw without the rail at an even further discount?  Thanks for the help.

We don't sell the saws without rails. I understand where you're coming from on this, but I don't think it's an option. Even if you got it with the rail, who can have enough rails?!  [blink] And, if you REALLY don't want it, I'm sure one of our members here would be anxious to take it off your hands for a reasonable price.

Are the rails used?  If so, is the splinterguard used as well?  I already have 3 55" rails, so I wouldn't need any more.  How about the option to change the rail to another size?  You have my wheels spinning now.  Thanks.

Let me check on both of those and let you know. I don't want to run the chance of giving you the wrong answer. I'll get back to you on this tomorrow.

The rails may have been used. However, I have been told that they all have new splinterguards, which I figured would be the case.

As for selling saws without rails, we're not going to be able to do that. Everything is already set up to ship them as a set.
