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.

Well made & works as expected
I'm really happy with the guide rail connectors. They are well finished and slid right into the rails and lock securely. Alignment was right on. Customer Service was also excellent; I had a small issue with the included driver and they were really responsive and got a replacement sent right out.

Better than OEM
Having frustrating experiences with Festool's own expensive guide rail connectors (which are for some reason not sold in pairs?) and stripping the flat-head screws in those connectors, I was blown away by the fit and finish, and functionality, of these connectors. The self-align feature works well, and the custom mushroom bolts have a huge amount of additional purchase against the guide rail. Hex head is always preferred to flat-head as well. Another TSO win!

Guide Rail Connectors
I love them. they come with its own screwdriver and you do not nat have to try to find a small flat head. They slide effortlessly.

Fast shipment, easy installation
Works super on my Makita guide rails. I checked several cuts with Makita connectors and then the TSO. Slight deviation with single Makita connector, straight as an arrow with the double TSO connectors.
