Description
Extend Your Guide Rails for 48" Cross Cuts
Cutting across a 4x8-foot workpiece with the common 55" (1,400mm) guide rail leaves the track saw unguided at the beginning and/or end of the cut, resulting in an edge that may not be straight.
The GRE-13 guide rail extender provides a cost-effective alternative to the 75" (1,900mm) guide rail by joining a nominally 13 5/8” (346mm) section of genuine Festool® guide rail section with the best-in-class GRC-12 Self-Aligning Guide Rail Connectors. Secures using a 3mm driver or hex wrench (not included but available separately). The GRE-13 guide rail extension provides the right support at both ends of the cut, and its convenient length fits in a Systainer!
We recommend using only genuine Festool guide rails to mate with the GRE-13 Guide Rail Extension.

Great Guide Rail Addition
I'm so glad I stumbled across this item. Once installed using the included pieces, it adds just enough length to cut a full 48" sheet good with the track saw fully supported all the way. I leave mine installed on the 1400 guide rail. However, it will also store easily in the TS 55 sustainer.

GRE guide rail extension
I bought two Festool guide rails. One 55 inch and the other 106 inch. My thoughts were that these rails would be long enough to slice up 4 x 8 sheets of plywood. However those rails could certainly be a few inches longer. Especially when using the Festool parallel guides. The GRE 13 is the perfect solution to this problem. It is exactly the same dimensions of the Festool track. Because is is very short the connector rails do an amazing job holding the two pieces of track together. Great solution. I will be buying a second one to permanently extend both of my Festool tracks.

Precision in crafting
Works exactly as described. The TSO connectors are a definite upgrade to my Festool connectors. Slot in perfect and create dent marks like the OEM part does. The track is just a small piece of Festool track but allows you to cross cut 48" without a dicey starting cut using the 55" track.
