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.

30" TPG parallel guide system
This is my third TSO product. first the GRS16PE and then the GRC12 rail connector. They both delivered what you said they would. I own a Seneca parallel guide system which is actually pretty good however the fit and finish of the TSO parallel guide system and the built-in accuracyi s in a class by itself. The stop system is the icing on the cake. I would not hesitate to recommend this system.

Happy with my purchase
I watched and read just about every review available and concluded that these were the best. I wasn't wrong from what I can tell. Quality of product is excellent and everything works as I expected with one small exception. As I has a gre16, I ordered one drop on adapter. What I did not think about was that the side with the gre16 mounted does not lay flat on the piece, so it always has to be at the edge. I think I would have preferred 2 drop on adapters for the initial setup and used the gre16 to square the end and moving forward from that point. I find myself a little concerned (just my old eyes, I guess) about getting the 2 rulers set at exactly the same precise place to asure my cut will be parallel to the new edge. It really is the only thing really left to chance and my own ability to adjust accurately.

Great addition to any track saw
I'm building a lot of cabinets for our house renovation. So, I decided to upgrade my arsenal of tools. First, I decided to go the track saw route versus breaking down plywood on my table saw. While that worked, there was still a chance of measuring errors. So, I decided to check out parallel guide systems. Based on my research, the TSO seemed to be an excellent product. I decided to go for it. I've built a couple more cabinets since the arrival of the guide system. It helps with getting parallel and square panels. Way more manageable than the way I did it in the past. I've not been disappointed with the purchase. Also, before this purchase, I bought the TSO GRS-16 PE Parallel Edge Guide Rail Square. That was also a game-changer!

From the packaging to the fit and finish to the engineering everything is first class. Glad I didn’t go with the festool modell
Would’ve been nice to have two more stop collars for small rip guides included in package

Solid, Beautiful, Accurate, and Easy to Use!
I read a lot of reviews and a number of them all pointed to the TSO Parallel Guide System as the best. I cannot image any product being any better! The scale is super easy to read. The machining is all very nice and accurate, pieces move smoothly and cleanly when they need to and stay solid when that is the requirement. It goes together quickly and easily. The stops are solid and lock in place. Initial setup was easy and quick! I am looking forward to having a long, happy relationship with my TSO guides!
