Product Description

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, 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!

Other Components (Included in Every Set) |

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-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.
A Closer Look at TPG FlipStop v2.0: Another TSO Gamechanger

Parallel Guide System
These are products that as soon as you have them in hand, you know you made the right choice. The engineering and fit and finish is top notch. Easy to use and dead nuts accurate. I was on the fence about which system I wanted to go with. I'm so happy that I went with the TGP system.

TPG 20" Parallel Guide Syatem
I had been considering parallel guides for some time recently. When this email came through with the 20" system, I decided it was time. I finally got to use the guide this past weekend. I was ripping stair treads out of rough sawn oak lumber. It was a great time being able to raise the flip stops to rip a straight edge and then put the stops down to rip to final dimension. Generally, I would have just ripped the straight edge with the track saw then use the table saw. But being 8/4 oak, the stair tread were heavy and being able to turn the tread over and rip to final width was spectacular.

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!
