TPG Parallel Guide System

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:

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

1. Select track length. The T-tracks are named for their maximum cut capability (e.g. 30" tracks enable a full 30" width of cut).
2. 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.
