This page shows a configurator for an illustrative battery-powered rail saw. Pick a body colour and a rail length, and the summary sets out the kit.
A cordless rail saw goes where a lead will not: into a loft conversion before the electrics are live, out to a garden deck far from a socket, up onto a scaffold. Buyers choosing one have usually used a corded track saw, or a circular saw against a clamped straight edge. They want to know what the battery version means for their day, and which rail suits work that moves from site to site.

What you can configure
Red, amber, teal and blue body colours appear in the demo, out of six. Rail length is 1.4 m or 2.7 m. The shorter rail suits door blanks, crosscuts and deck boards, and fits in a car. The longer rail rips a full-length sheet in one pass but needs a van and careful handling. In this demo the rail length shows in the summary only, and the image stays the same.

Why a configurator suits rail saws
Twelve combinations of body and rail look manageable, but the 2.7 m rail changes the logistics. Long parcels cost more to deliver, some couriers will not take them, and a bent rail is useless. The delivery route can change as the rail is chosen, offering branch collection or pallet delivery before the buyer reaches checkout.
Rail saws are a considered purchase for a tradesperson, and many first try one at a merchant's demo day. Configuration lets the merchant follow up properly. The builder who tried the saw at the event can configure the exact kit later, from the van, and send it to the branch as a quote at their trade rate.
Buyers also need a plan for the rail itself. A rail bag, end protectors and a pair of quick clamps keep the guide straight and its splinter strip intact through months of site work. Offering them as part of the build, sized to the chosen rail, comes across as useful advice rather than an upsell.
How a production version would be built
Six body images and two rail images, shot from one fixed angle, cover all twelve builds by compositing the saw onto the rail. The groove in the base plate is the alignment point, so it should be visible in every body shot. The merchant supplies SKUs, kit contents, delivery rules by parcel length and branch stock. Orders route to the basket for standard delivery or to click and collect for the long rail, using the merchant's existing Shopify setup and branch stock feed.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Rail choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if rail lengths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about rail saw configurators
Can the configurator change delivery options when a long rail is chosen?
Yes. Delivery rules can follow parcel length. Choosing the 2.7 m rail can switch delivery to a pallet service or branch collection, with any surcharge shown in the summary. Buyers then see the logistics while they are still choosing, not as a surprise at the final step.
Can a buyer configure the saw after trying it at a demo day?
Yes. A QR code at the demo stand can open the configurator with the saw already selected. The buyer finishes the build later and sends it as a quote, which the branch prices at their trade rate. The merchant also learns which demo visitors followed up.
Do cordless and corded versions belong in the same configurator?
They can, if rails and accessories are shared. Power source becomes the first choice, and everything after it filters accordingly: batteries and chargers for cordless, cable and extraction options for corded. One page then answers both searches and keeps the reviews together.
Can rail accessories be sized to the rail automatically?
Yes. Bags, end protectors and replacement splinter strips are sized by rail length, so the configurator only offers matching items. If the buyer adds a second rail, connectors appear as an option. Each accessory carries its own SKU and image, so picking stays accurate.
