Description
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.
How to Build Your TSO Parallel Guide System

FlipStop v2.0: A Cut Above

The best so far
I like the convenience that I can ripcut a stack of 4x8 plywoods on my 6 feet long bench. Slip a sacrificial piece in between each ply and start cutting. I have 20”,30” and 50” TPG tracks with slide in adapter, flip stop and knobs on each. My 20” is dedicated for cutting thin rips. I also have GRS 16 PE for crosscut. It’s so far the best system but need to be improve. A lot better than my red parallel guide.

Great guide rails once properly calibrated
I purchased the TPG-30 set, which is probably the perfect size for most people and it can handle almost all of the cuts I need to make. PRO: *Can attach to the rail squares to add a support lip and to make quick perpendicular cuts. *Lines are easy to read against the darkish-blue background. *Every 32mm is marked which is very helpful if you're making European cabinets using the 32mm system. *The spring loaded stops do make it easy to make micro adjustments. CON: *I wish the numbers were slightly larger. *In my opinion, the shiny finish produces glare when using under lights. I don't really have this issue when using them during the day in my shop. Matte finish would probably solve this. *The indicator on the stops flexes slightly so you have to be consciously aware to not touch the indicator when moving the stop. I wish the indicator was thicker. *At this price point, connection brackets should be included. *You only get 2 collars, but you get 4 rods (2 small rods, 2 longer rods). Am I suppose to re-use the collars when I use the narrow cut rods? Maybe I'm missing something but this doesn't make sense to me. Despite my cons I still like these parallel guides. I hope future versions can be improved upon.

Parallel guides
My only complaint is that this system should be sold as a complete set, not separate pieces. It’s confusing to the consumer and caused delays in my production schedule. I was mad at myself for not paying close enough attention when I made my initial purchase but this seems like a no-brainer.

The simplest, most effective tools for the track saw
Finally got to experiment with my new guides yesterday. Was amazed how simple and easy to use. The learning curve was small. Once you have it adjusted the cuts were so accurate. Very please. Good design

TPG PARALLEL GUIDE SYSTEM
Great system. A little cumbersome to wield around put once you get used to it works great. Only issue is to make it easier to use you need to purchase TPG Adapter (Slide-On) v2 and • M5 Star Grip Knob Set. They should just build a bundle with these included
