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.

TPG PARALLEL GUIDE SYSTEM
I Highly recommend the system. Hats off to the engineers, design, and craftmen for concepting and building this accurate system. I am able to achieve a 1/64th inch to 1/32nd inch cut difference across an 8' length using my milwaukee track saw system and the TSO TPG PARALLELL GUIDE SYSTEM. This is far more than what I expected. I Highly recommend it for those looking for tight accuracy cuts.

Quality vs cost
I bought this to use with my Festool track saw. I also considered offerings from Festool and Woodpecker. I pondered the decision, going back and forth for many days. These tools are expensive. And that's before you add the necessary options which increased the price of my cart by $120. This almost pushed me to Festool or Woodpecker, but in the end I just felt the quality of the TSO products were for me. So far I love the products and I know I will enjoy using them.

Parallel guids
Fantastic product … no longer have to measure every time .. saves me so much time and very acurate

This tools gives the precision I have been searching for.
I ordered the 20" rail set that fits in the Tanos storage case. I was so impressed that I later got the 50" rails. I did a lot of research online at FOG forum and watching youtube videos of different parallel guide systems and these I feel are the best and very beginner friendly. I was careful to use my combination square to ensure my initial setup was good. Subsequent setups are squared well and the cuts are within any detectable tolerances. I have not tried to used the extension rods for small width cuts yet. I also am anxious to see if I can integrate this with the LR32 track to consistently have accurate rows of 32mm spaced 5mm holes. If it can handle consistent spacing for LR32 system, I would give 6 stars if I could.

TSO Parallel Guide System 30”
I purchased the 30” parallel guide system and absolutely love it! I was not sure whether to just get the 50” or be happy with the 30”. I’m super satisfied with the 30”. Now that I’ve used it, I think I made the right choice mostly just because of the ease of handling a shorter length. Just finished up my first large cabinet and am super happy that I made the purchase and it makes my Festool Track Saw much more valuable!
