I'm trying to buy a Festool TS75 *without* the 75 inch guide *but* with

If I use the 75" plus a 55" connected I get a 130 inch guide which is
way more than I want. But I want the 55" for cross cutting a 4X8 panel.

What kinda deal is that!!!

If you are going to use the tool with sheetgood's in mind, the 75" and 55"
are an ideal combination, for the reason in Chris' post.

Plus it keeps you from needing to install a rear stop on the guide rail
when making the initial plunge ... a step not needed if the plunge is made
before the blade engages the stock.

So, if I understand you correctly, for the system to work properly, I need a
guide that will give me more length than 110" to properly use it to cut a
96" long panel.
