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 hex driver drops easily into the hex socket and is large enough not to get lost or easily overlooked.

These things just flat out work.

Don’t Bother With The Others
These are by far the best connectors I’ve used yet. From the old Festool to the new, to the after market. These are hands down the best. No indentations or side to side movement. I was having trouble with one rail sticking up on the splinter guard side and these have corrected the issue, saving me from purchasing a longer rail that I’ll only seldom need. Like everything TSO, these are top notch

Best connector on the market
You will not be disappointed. Go ahead and upgrade your Festool connector.

Great product. Changed out all mine older ones to TSO aluminum connectors
TSO Products are of the highest quality

Possible improvements...
Both guides could be installed from the top if there were holes drilled in rail and sockets were on both sides of the nuts. An optional upgrade for Makita rails but Festool could ship that way.
