   I'll beat the dead horse a little more.  I have the atf 55 and the large vac, and love the setup.  I use them on jobsites and in my shop to joint up edges of boards, process sheet goods, fine tune inset cabinet doors, cut down interior doors, and sometimes cut stair treads.  For onsite cabinet making this setup is awesome.

   Take the plunge, if you can afford it.  I bet you'll be pleased.

   What's your definition of dealing with "a lot of sheet goods"? Are you dealing with them on the job site?

   I love my Festool saw and guide. They work as advertised! Makes you wonder why you have a table saw. (Kidding.)

   I just got the TS55 and the 106" rail and love the system.

   I would like a T55, but my budget was tighter.  I went with the EZ guide and a LH PC saw (since the eurekazone system really makes you dedicate a circular saw). 

   Using a saw guide has made cutting sheet goods way easier in my shop.  I go through about 15 sheets a month, easy, and not having to wrestle them onto the TS has made my work faster and better.

   Either Festool or Eurakezone are fine.

   Yes, that would be a great move. The long guide (106"?) is useful for 8' stock. Dust extraction works as advertised.

   Yes.  Get it. And get their saw, too.
