Description

Square Cuts Made Fast and Easy with Your Track Saw

Breaking down sheet goods is easy with a TSO Guide Rail Square in your shop. This must-have track saw accessory turns your guide rail into a large, precision square, enabling fast and accurate 90-degree crosscuts with less setup time, less marking, and fewer errors.

The GRS-16 PE v2 Guide Rail Square is perfect for crosscuts on sheet goods and is compatible with Festool, Makita, Milwaukee, Powertec, Triton, and WEN track saw systems.

Key Features

  • Born Square: A proven design, CNC-machined from a single block of 6061-T6 aluminum, will never require fine-tuning or calibration.
  • Work Faster: No need to scribe your cutting line; make a small tick mark at your desired cutting position, align the guide rail, and you're ready to start cutting.
  • Fewer Errors: Cut your marking and measuring in half, and with it, your chances of making a mistake that costs you valuable time and materials.
  • Parallel Edge: Reference your work from the front or back edge to fit your workflow.
  • Solid Connection: A resilient latch coating grasps the guide rail and protects it from damage.
  • Drop-on Convenience: Quickly attaches without the need to remove accessories, like hose deflectors, track connectors and clamps.
  • Clamp Compatible: Notches on both reference edges provide room for your favorite track clamp. Including the Festool Screw Clamp (489570), Ratcheting Clamp (491594), and Axminster guide rail clamps.
  • System Approach: Compatible with the TSO Parallel Guide System for making repeatable square and parallel cuts in one workflow.
  • Anodized Blue: Provides a beautiful, durable, and non-marring finish.
  • Made in the USA: Designed, manufactured and hand-assembled in Eagan, Minnesota.

PRO TIP PRO TIP #1: Never use the factory edge of your material as a reference to your Guide Rail Square. For maximum accuracy, start by removing a thin slice of material to establish a perfectly straight reference edge. Learn more.

    Track saw rail square

    Posted by Brent Brown on 30th Sep 2024

    I am building a house and needed to make cabinets for the kitchen, bathrooms and pantry. I previously had a sliding table saw and sold it when relocating. For this project I had to buy new tools with a limited budget, so a slider was not an option. I purchased a cabinet saw, track saw and the TSO rail square, relying on other reviews concerning the quality and accuracy of the guide rail square. It did not disappoint. I've completed cutting all my cabinet parts and I checked them for square several times. Each time the guide was right on, which is pretty impressive for cuts across a full sheet of plywood. Whether you're breaking down sheets or cutting smaller parts, the TSO square and a track saw are a great choice. The quality of the product is outstanding and it fit my Makita track perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

    GRS-16 PE V2 Guide Rail Square

    Posted by Bryan Kurty on 29th Sep 2024

    I bought the GRS-16 PE V2 about a year ago. It has been a great guide rail square! After light use in a shop environment, I noticed the rubber on the latching mechanism starting to come off. This caused the metal latch to be making direct contact with my metal track. I reached out to TSO and they were extremely helpful. Not only did they send me a new latch assembly, but they also sent me A BRAND NEW guide rail square! Their customer service is top-notch and I highly recommend their products. I will be purchasing from them again in the future.

    Just buy one!

    Posted by Tom D on 19th Sep 2024

    One would think the guide rail square from the blue and green company would work as well as their saw…a big NO. BEST purchase I’ve made for my set-up is the TSO guide rail square!! I’m getting perfectly square cuts, no questions asked!! There’s a lot of peace knowing there’s no fiddling involved. Just put it on your mark and cut!!

    Posted by Ralph Turney on 19th Sep 2024

    I’ve used it once. It was very easy to set up and the cut was perfect…turns out my square wasn’t! 4 stars because of the cost. Now don’t spam me.
