The rail kit has the rails and support extrusions that brace the waste board underneath. The Waste Board module only has the waste board, threaded inserts, and screws to hold it down. We did this in case you decide to make your own waste board then you will still have the support extrusions.
Hi @MichaelSchafer I am so sorry. This was indeed confusing. I just edited that thread from March 3rd. Originally it was in the waste board kit but we changed it to the rail kit to support people that wanted to make their own.
I’d appreciate it if you deleted your post above so other people don’t get confused.
Original post deleted. So does this mean that the parts I ordered are extraneous? It’s OK, as I’m sure I’ll find a good use for them, and I’ve seen people saying that the extra support extrusions are a good idea…
I wouldn’t say they are extraneous but you get one in the rail kit. It is really a trade off of cost and precision. The more you spend on supports the more precise and flat the waste board will be over time. The MDF can settle over time creating variations across the board this is mitigated with extra supports.
