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, 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!

Overall quality
This is quality product you just have to make sure that you are careful. My track fell from approximately 3' which resulted in one of the guide rails bending rendering the rail useless.

GRC-12 Self-Aligning Guide Rail Connectors
Greatly reduced the amount of misalignment that existed with the OEM units. Still need to be careful when moving joined sections of longer tracks.

So Easy, Aligns Perfectly, Leaves no Damage!
Given the issues that people seem to have joining Festool rails, I was skeptical. I did not need to be. Thes rail connectors are really, really easy to use, align perfectly and leave no damage on the rails. It is nice when a product actually works like it's supposed to. Well done TSO!!

GRC-12 SELF ALIGNING GUIDE RAIL CONNECTORS
I used these for connecting two Festool guide rails. They worked very well with minimal adjustment needed.
