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.

    Increase speed 60%

    Posted by Tim Wagner on 15th Aug 2017

    After hesitation on buying the product, I have found it essential in breakdown plywood sheets. I don't have fancy tables for this, just a simple foam board and lay the plywood on top. With the PE, I'm able to measure once, attach to the track and go. Really simplified the process and improved the outcome. Exactly what I hope for with any tool purchase.

    A simple concept, executed to perfection

    Posted by Trevor Harvey on 15th Aug 2017

    I came across this product while looking at accessories for my recent Festool purchase (a cordless track saw). I had a job starting a week later involving cutting various sizes of MDF sheets. I live in Australia and doubted the product would arrive on time, also the cost in $AU was fairly high for such a simplistic looking tool. All that aside I placed the order and was surprised that I received the item on the day I started this particular job. I was naturally very pleased, but not as pleased as I was with the product itself. It is very well made and works as described. In fact I am very impressed to say the least. This simple tool is a credit to your company. Keep up the good work. Regards, Trevor Harvey

    Works great and is a dead on accurate, price is a bit high but man is it worth it! takes all the guess work out of 90's, just wish someone would come up with something to do 45's too. Get you one, you won't be sorry! Cheers, Charlie
