So here's deal breaker #1
- no square attachment for the fence. You want square - you
need to buy their special table - another $400+.

Now I could make some sort of thing to square the guide edge to
a reference edge. But if I'm going to pay $430 I want THEM to
provide that little necessity.

there is a squaring jig: Item # 491588 for $71.50.

instead of the jig alone, i purchased the guide rail accessory kit for the
two 55" rail that i use with the ts55eq saw.

now, i will admit that i am a bit miffed by the cost of adding something
as mundane and expected on a vac as a place/way to store the electrical
cord, and even the hose. these should not be add-ons! couldn't they have
just designed the vac with small semi-circular clips around its perimeter
to accomodate these things? there are just some things for which i will
not pay.
