Perfectly Parallel Track Saw Rip Cuts, Infinitely Repeatable
Track saws have made it easier than ever to break down sheet goods, but how can you ensure two or more panels are cut to identical dimensions?
Just like the fence on your table saw, the solution lies in using physical stops to ensure dead-on consistency between cuts.
The TSO Parallel Guide System attaches to your guide rail and positions the cutting line of your track saw perfectly parallel to the stock's edge at the precise distance you set—guaranteeing identical results every time.
Key Features
- Repeatable Precision: Single-piece, solid metal T-tracks with laser-engraved scales and parallax-free FlipStops make accurate cuts easy and predictable.
- Easy to Use: Quickly set your desired cut in Imperial or Metric dimensions using the high contrast scales.
- Unmatched Capability: Make parallel rip cuts as wide as 50” or as narrow as 1/4” (6mm).
- Connect It Your Way: Select from three different guide rail connection methods (each sold separately) to best fit your current workflow.
- Quick Drop-On Attachment: Festool and Kreg ACS track saws users can take advantage of the Drop-On TPG Adapter, which transforms the Parallel Guide System into a faster and tool-free experience.
- Compatible with TSO Guide Rail Squares: Transition from perfectly parallel rip cuts to perfectly square crosscuts when you add a TSO Guide Rail Square to the system.
- Extensive Compatibility: Works with Festool, Makita, Milwaukee, Kreg ACS, DeWalt, RIGID, Milescraft, WEN, Eastvolt and Powertec guide rails.

TSO parallel guide system
I am pleased to respond to an invitation to review TSO's parallel guide system. It is always a pleasure to provide feedback on a tool that makes your life easier. Several months ago I decided to discard my old tablesaw but not to replace it. I didn't want to spend $6,000 on a new table saw and accessories, didn't want to give up a quarter of my shop space and didn't want the dust and the kickback danger. I instead built a "mega MFT table" using Festool's LR32 system and also bought Festool's parallel guide system. I wasn't happy with the Festool system and then tried another system and wasn't satisfied with it either. I found and purchased TSO's parallel guide system (and bought a Stabilia digital angle finder) and yes, I can now break down and cut sheet goods squarely, accurately and repeatedly without struggling and without getting tired. It just works. Along the way I decided that when it comes to sheet goods I am now going metric - the markings on the metric scale are closer together and under my shop light/magnifier and I can dial in the measurement exactly. Very nice. I look forward to TSOs next new tool.

Cheap knobs make the whole system seem cheap
Spent the day cutting plywood to build cabinets with my new TPG 30. The one complaint that I do have is the knobs - they are way too cheap relative to the precision of the whole system - they are difficult to tighten because the knob part is too small to get a good grip and it constantly catches the cord for the track saw. I got frustrated every time it happened and I don't think I would buy other products just because of it. I would suggest a metal knob with knurling. The system is expensive enough to not cheap out.

TPG
Excellent quality parallel guides, 30 & 50 inch , that when coupled with the GRS 16 PE & GRS 16 rail squares allow precision brake down of sheet goods into squared components! This saves time, money, & my back by allowing me to brake down large sheet s at the warehouse.

One of the best investments I’ve made
This system was one of the best investments I’ve made in a while. It was so easy to setup and get going. Plus it saves me from measuring both sides and not being square.

Great product...
The parallel guide system works great. I did have the set screw head twist off when calibrating The stop. I picked up some better screws at Fastenal and replaced the stock ones.
