Description

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!

    Wrong size allen driver

    Posted by Michael Meskew on 10th May 2019

    The connectors work great, but I received the wrong size allen driver. NOTE From TSO: We have the correct size driver on the way to you. Our apologies for this error!

    Excellent & could be better/more

    Not only use two to align/extend Festool fences but also to extend/align an Incra miter saw fence (54" fence extended with 36" extension on one side and 18" extension the other). The self centering has advantage of being more secure than non-centering (with additional slop). All manufacturers should license this capability from TSO. HOWEVER, I believe the price should get you two (not one) and I agree with whomever suggested there should be a bigger footprint that presses against the slot instead of only the size of the small metric set screws. With 4 extended footprints I'd be happy with the $50 price for each. And a suggestion... back to that Incra fence... I had to make my own 3/16" x 3/8" x 12" rails (2 for each extension joint). I would have gladly paid $100 for the 4 I needed. Incra, nor anyone else, makes those size rail slides but boy has that tricked out my miter fence. Why not use all the other miter fences on the market you ask? Well, I'll tell you. All the other fences are either too tall and reduce the dust collection of my Festool and Bosh, and/or they are so mature that the bladder completely separated the fence with lots of integrity.

    very good connectors

    I have 3 Makita 55" rails. 2 stay connected all the time and is where I used these. They went in and worked as described. Seem to be a better connection and alignment than the Makita ones they replaced.
