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.

Self-Aligning Guide Rail
Does exactly what it is advertised to do and beats simply having two guide rails align by butting against each other. I also use it on my miter saw fence as the main support for an 18" extension. All guide rails "SHOULD" Be designed/sold this way. That said, I'm not sure just how impervious it is to being bent and don't wish to test it. And for the price I would have expected to get two or, sell them individually for $25. it's worth it if you want "the best" (like those who but Festool products) and it will save you aggravation down the road.
