Product Description
Watch the TPG Parallel Guide Calibration Video to see how fast and easy it is to calibrate the TPG System for spot-on accuracy.
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. 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:
- Rather than cumbersome designs that rely on sliding together lengths of track and fastening methods that can slip out of calibration without you noticing, the TPG System uses simple one-piece T-tracks with rock-solid bolt-on attachment to your guide rail, and a FlipStop v2.0 that only moves when you want it to.
- Metric and Imperial dual dimensions are laser engraved on every T-track.
- Exclusive Calibration Memory™ feature of FlipStop v2.0 removes the need for re-calibration 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…

Additional TPG accessories can be purchased separately, including 20" and 50" T-tracks, and now available: T-track connectors for ultra-wide rips. See the Accessories section at the bottom of this page for more information.
Two Steps to Selecting Your TPG Kit
- Select track length. The T-tracks are named for their maximum cut capability (e.g. 30" tracks enable a full 30" width of cut).
- Select attachment method. For each TPG T-track, you need either a TPG Adapter (available in Slide-In or Drop-In styles) or 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-In or Drop-In styles).
- If you own one (1) GRS-16 Guide Rail Square, add one (1) TPG Adapter (available in Slide-In or Drop-In 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.
A Closer Look at TPG FlipStop v2.0: Another TSO Gamechanger
Material stops are often an afterthought—but why? They’re the part of the system you interact with the most, and critical at setting and maintaining accurate cuts. See what sets the TPG FlipStop v2.0 apart in the video below:
Optional Accessories
- TPG Standard Adapter - For connecting TPG T-tracks to your Festool, Makita or Triton guide rails (or substitute a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square to perform the same task)
- TPG Quick Adapter (Fits Festool Only) - Provides faster, drop-in, tool-free connection to guide rails; compatible only with Festool guide rails.
- TPG FlipStop v2.0 — Two are included with each TPG set, but additional FlipStop v2.0 can be added to the same T-track
- 20" TPG T-track (Pair) - We no longer offer 20" tracks as part of a standard TPG set, but they can still be ordered as accessories
- 50" TPG T-track (Pair) - Add the ability to cut up to 50" in width
- TPG Knob Set (4 Pack) - Spare knobs with custom CNC-machined centering spacers
- TPG T-track Connector - Allows you to combine multiple TPG T-tracks for ultra-wide rips
- TPG T-track Connector Drill Fixture - Used to add the required mounting holes to T-tracks lacking accessory mounting holes
- TPG FlipStop v2.0 Upgrade Kit - Retrofit your original TPG FlipStop to v2.0 with this upgrade kit
* Right-hand T-track and GRS-16 PE Guide Rail Square required. Two T-tracks are still required for narrow cuts.

Good quality
Best guide rail system but you need to buy also Guide Rail Adapter, why they need to separate?
-
parallel guide system
very easy to use coupled with the square and perferct and the Squarest parallel cuts i have ever made
-
Best addition to guide rails
The machining is spot on, after initial setup I can switch between guide rail lengths & different connectors without having to recalibrate the flip stops, pretty impressive. It makes cut setup a breeze. What you will find out is the poor tolerances of your Festool guide rails (different review, different product). Too bad TSO does not make guide rails.

A little pricey by the time I got it delivered to Australia, but still worth it. Well made product that delivers in spades. I purchased online on Thursday when they became available again and it was delivered to me in Australia in 5 days! Incredible service. Thanks TSO

Simply genius!
The solution provided by TSO is simple, genius and simply genius! No more need for fences with stops and/or running around the board making multiple measurements and drawing lines through them. Just one calibration and reference off the material itself! No checking that your stock is square to the fence since you cut square to the stock itself. It also solves the problem of cutting stock that is narrower than the guide rail. It's simple, it's genius and it's simply genius. Thank you very much for such a simple, elegant solution. TSO products aren't cheap but they certainly make life quicker and easier, and remove the worry about the rail being slightly off square. I waited nearly 6 months to be able to get this product and enjoyed the simplicity of using it for the first time. I look forward to many years of ease of use. Thank you very much TSO!
