Extra Drop-Loc Connector for TSO Parallel Guide System Gen 2

Quick Connect, Universal Guide Rail Fit

The connection between your parallel guides and your guide rail is critical. It needs to feel like an extension of your guide rail—while still being fast to add, remove, and reposition between cuts. The new Drop-Loc Connector delivers both.

Unlike the old Slide-On TPG Adapter (rigid but slow to install) or the Drop-On TPG Adapter (fast but not mechanically secure if you lifted the rail), the Drop-Loc Connector combines speed, security, and convenience in one design.

What makes the Drop-Loc Connector truly different is the drop-in freedom it gives you. Instead of sliding it in from the end of the rail or carefully working around other accessories, you can press a button on the connector and insert it at any point along the track. That means setup takes seconds and you stay in flow, even if your rail already has hose deflectors, guide rail connectors, or other attachments occupying the T-slot. It’s a small change that can add up to major time savings, especially when you’re moving quickly between cuts.

The little connector may seem easy to overlook, but it’s what unlocks speed and accuracy. With Drop-Loc Connectors, you’ll spend less time setting up and more time cutting.

PRO TIP: Keep Extras on Hand

Every Parallel Guide System Gen 2 kit already includes two Drop-Loc Connectors. But if you’ve added Extra Parallel Guide Tracks, consider outfitting them with dedicated connectors so they’re always ready to go. Faster setup, quicker cuts, no swapping required.
