Can you combine the 2- 55 inch guides for cutting 4×8 or do you have to get the 1 longer one… if you can combine them are they still accurate. Z

You can combine them, and they remain accurate.
cool do you own the table also or did you just make one as I am thinking of doing Z
You could make a table, BUT. You are going to want the side rails so you can attach the brackets for the saw guide(tail end) unless you plan on aligning the guide to pencil marks every time.Work Safe, Count to 10 when your done for the day !!

When you combine them make sure you use 2 connectors.

My experience was that they don't stay accurate. I had two 55" guides, joined by the Festool joiner bars. I aligned them carefully and tightened up the setscrews. After a few weeks use in the shop, they were no longer straight. I realigned them, and again found they moved. Eventually I gave up and bought the 106" guide.
can the table be used to cut a 4x8??
"can the table be used to cut a 4x8??"
I didn't look at the table very diligently, but it seems to me that it can't really help much until you break the full sheet down quite a bit. The larger table has surface which is only 28"x45". I use the guided saw with the plywood on sawhorses.
