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 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!

    Good Product

    Posted by Matthew Warren on 10th Aug 2022

    Was skeptical that this would work, but idea sounded good and found a place I could return if needed. They work great to fix alignment issue with Makita rails. With Makita connectors track would be slightly misaligned where tracks meet. This caused the saw to catch and bind when fit tightly on the track guide. The Makita connectors alignment was definitely not good enough to use two short rails together. This makes the alignment pretty good and I won't have to buy the 118" rail.

    they work great but are too flimsy

    Posted by James Brickey on 8th Aug 2022

    I bought the connectors with the small piece of guide rail and had it attached to a 55 in guide rail . this assembly was leaning against a wall and got bumped and fell to the floor bending both connectors. The guides were unharmed so I bought a new set of connectors and will be more careful. If they had been made from steel I believe they would have not gotten bent. I would have rated them 3 1/2 stars had it been an option. and 5 stars had they been made from steel

    Rail guides

    Posted by WAYNE BOOKER on 28th Jun 2022

    The work very well. It's nice to not have to use a straight edge to get these things on. Only problem I see is that I thought they would be made out of steel like the Festool connectors I have are. These are aluminum, and they do and will bend. Be very careful how you move the rails when you are connecting these because I had one connector tightened on both ends, then went to flip the rail over to tighten the other connector and I could see it flex because it was by its self. They need both to be tight so they can support each other. If only one is tight, it will bear all forces by itself. I recommend TSO make these out of steel. Otherwise, great design.

    Excellent

    This is the way Festool should have designed their connectors. Excellent engineering and quality. The self-aligning feature and set screws make using these a snap. Thanks for designing a great product.

    Solid!

    Posted by John Freund on 13th May 2022

    I originally bought some Makita guide rail connectors. I was unimpressed with the flimsy, thin piece you are supposed to use in one slot... It doesn't even have screws to hold it in place! The machining on the TSO guide rail connectors is so nice and accurate, it locks my two pieces of track together solid, rock solid! The machined 'lip' just makes these so much better designed and work so much better than the first ones I bought! Worth every cent!
