Product Description
Watch this introduction of the TPG-20 Set, our most compact and portable parallel guide system.
Watch this video to see the features and refinements of the TPG FlipStop v2.0.
The patented TSO Parallel Guide (TPG) System offers the most capability of any parallel guide system on the market, while eliminating user-reported limitations of competing products. This system is compatible with Festool, Kreg, Makita, and Powertec brand guide rails. Like all parallel guides, the TPG System provides for repeatable rips—but it has a few distinctive qualities you’ll only find from a TSO Product:
- Simple one-piece T-tracks with rock-solid bolt-on attachment to your guide rail.
- The industry's best FlipStop, featuring a parallax-free cursor and internal spring loading so it only moves when you want it to.
- Metric and Imperial dual dimensions are laser engraved on every T-track.
- Exclusive Calibration Memory™ collar removes the need to re-calibrate FlipStops when changing between standard and narrow stock rods.
- Capacity to rip full 4x8 sheetgoods all the way down to very narrow cuts, with material as thin a 1/4" (6mm).
- The TPG System has the patented ability to square and parallel in a single cut, using just one T-track!
Each TPG Kit Now Includes…
All TPG Sets include common components; the only difference is the quantity and length of T-track extrusions provided:
| TPG-20 Set | TPG-30 Set | TPG-30/50 Set | |
| Ripping Capacity | 20" (508mm) | 30" (762mm) | 50" (1,270mm) |
| T-Tracks Included | 2x 20" (508mm) T-tracks | 2x 30" (762mm) T-tracks | 2x 50" (1,270mm) T-Tracks 2x 30" (762mm) T-tracks |
| Other Components (Included in Every Set) |
2x TPG FlipStop v2.0 2x Calibration Rods (for narrow cutting) 4x Comfort Grip Star Knobs 1x 3mm Hex Driver (for all adjustments) |
||
Additional TPG accessories can be purchased separately, including standalone 20" and 50" T-tracks, additional FlipStops, a custom foam Systainer insert for our TPG-20 Set, T-track connectors for ultra-wide rips, and more. See the Accessories section at the bottom of this page for more information.
Two Steps to Selecting Your TPG Kit
- Select track length. The T-tracks are named for their maximum cut capability (e.g. 30" tracks enable a full 30" width of cut).
- Select attachment method. For each TPG T-track, you need either a TPG Adapter (available in Slide-On or Drop-On styles) or a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square. If you own a GRS-16 or GRS-16 PE Guide Rail Square with accessory mounting holes, it can be used to connect a TPG T-track to your guide rail.
- If you don't own a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square, add two (2) TPG Adapters (available in Slide-On or Drop-On styles).
- If you own one (1) GRS-16 Guide Rail Square, add one (1) TPG Adapter (available in Slide-On or Drop-On styles).
- If you own two (2) GRS-16 Guide Rail Squares (one of which must be a GRS-16 PE), you do not need to purchase any TPG Adapters.
A Closer Look at TPG FlipStop v2.0: Another TSO Gamechanger
Material stops are often an afterthought—but why? They’re the part of the system you interact with the most, and critical at setting and maintaining accurate cuts. See what sets the TPG FlipStop v2.0 apart in the video below:
Optional Accessories

TSO Parallel guides
I’m happy with them other than they seem to need to be squared up with a square after you tighten the 2 knobs on the guides. Also if bumped they come out of square pretty easy. Maybe having the holes and the knobs counter sunk more would help with a more secure square fit.

Parallel guide
Fantastic product. Much easier to set up than the Festool parallel guides. Square and true right out of the box. I mounted one to the guide rail square I already had. I can use it by itself to make repeatable 90 degree cuts

Parallel Guide
Easy to use and very sturdy. With only the two included clamping collars the stops seemed to lose calibration slightly even when being extremely delicate when placing the guide rail on the workpiece. After noticing the slight change in measurement I checked calibration between each cut.

Parallel Guide System
These are products that as soon as you have them in hand, you know you made the right choice. The engineering and fit and finish is top notch. Easy to use and dead nuts accurate. I was on the fence about which system I wanted to go with. I'm so happy that I went with the TGP system.

TPG 20" Parallel Guide Syatem
I had been considering parallel guides for some time recently. When this email came through with the 20" system, I decided it was time. I finally got to use the guide this past weekend. I was ripping stair treads out of rough sawn oak lumber. It was a great time being able to raise the flip stops to rip a straight edge and then put the stops down to rip to final dimension. Generally, I would have just ripped the straight edge with the track saw then use the table saw. But being 8/4 oak, the stair tread were heavy and being able to turn the tread over and rip to final width was spectacular.
