A Better Way to Connect Guide Rails

Watch this video to see how the GRC-12 auto-aligns and secures two guide rails at the same time.
Watch this video to see how the GRC-12 auto-aligns and secures two guide rails at the same time, while eliminating the need for expensive straight-edges.

Another TSO innovation, the GRC-12 is a first-of-its-kind, self-aligning guide rail connector for use with Festool, Makita, Milwaukee, Kreg ACS, POWERTEC, WEN, and Triton brand guide rails. Before the GRC-12, aligning connected guide rails required a variety of methods and additional tools to achieve straight connections, with misalignment often difficult to detect without a long straight edge or similar tool. This issue becomes obvious too late—when gaps show up during assembly or glue-up.

The GRC-12 TSO guide rail connectors solve this problem with a completely self-contained and self-aligning design - thanks to an innovative integral keystone feature. Simply slide the GRC-12 into your guide rail T-slots and firmly tighten the M6 Mushroom Head Screws - that's it.

Because small hex wrenches can be annoying to deal with, we’ve solved that too: the included ball hex driver drops easily into the hex socket and is large enough not to get lost or easily overlooked.

Key Features of the GRC-12

  • Connects AND aligns in one operation, with no need for secondary tools such as a level. 
  • Easy, fast, accurate!
  • Only perfectly aligned rails can produce perfectly straight cuts. 
  • Unique Patent Pending design helps keep rails aligned.
  • GRC-12 keeps rails aligned with it's Keystone-shaped Connector feature. 
  • Connected and done!

    Possible improvements...

    Posted by Gary on 26th Jun 2024

    Both guides could be installed from the top if there were holes drilled in rail and sockets were on both sides of the nuts. An optional upgrade for Makita rails but Festool could ship that way.

    After endless frustration with Festool’s guide rails connectors I finally gave in to try these. They lock in much easier and alignment is spot on 1st and every time. Why did I wait so long?

    Great guide rail connectors

    Posted by Anthony T on 14th Apr 2024

    I own one Festool guide rail, one Makita and two Powertec guide tails. These fit perfectly in my Festool, and they fit pretty well in my Makita. My Powertec rails are slightly too large to utilize the bevels. I do plan on upgrading everything to Festool guide rails so this eventually wont be an issue for me. A huge PRO for me are the large flat "set screws" my previous connector rods were leaving indents in my rails due to the tiny set screws. I highly recommend these. Another great TSO product.

    Rail connections fit perfect. ? the 3mm screws are a wonderful upgrade to the stock straight slot screws.

    I bought for my 2 Makita 1400mm rails having had issues with both the Festool and Makita ones. Now even without fiddling around with a long straight edge or string line it’s all perfectly straight!
