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.
Track Saw Cuts Made Perfectly Parallel, Infinitely Repeatable
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, Makita, Milwaukee, Kreg ACS, RIGID, Milescraft, WEN, Eastvolt and Powertec 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:
- Capacity to rip full 4x8 sheetgoods all the way down to very narrow cuts, with material as thin a 1/4" (6mm).
- Simple one-piece T-tracks with rock-solid bolt-on attachment to your guide rail.
- Two FlipStops v2.0 featuring Calibration Memory™ collars removing the need to re-calibrate the stops when changing between standard and narrow stock rods.
- Metric and Imperial dual dimensions are laser engraved on every T-track.
- When used in combination with a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square, the TPG System has the patented ability to make square and parallel cuts using just one T-track!
Each TPG Kit Now Includes…
All TPG Sets include common components; the only difference is the quantity and length of T-track extrusions provided:
TPG-20 Set | TPG-30 Set | TPG-30/50 Set | |
Ripping Capacity | 20" (508mm) | 30" (762mm) | 50" (1,270mm) |
T-Tracks Included | 2x 20" (508mm) T-tracks | 2x 30" (762mm) T-tracks | 2x 50" (1,270mm) T-Tracks 2x 30" (762mm) T-tracks |
Other Components (Included in Every Set) |
2x TPG FlipStop v2.0 2x Calibration Rods (for narrow cutting) 4x Comfort Grip Star Knobs 1x 3mm Hex Driver (for all adjustments) |
Additional TPG accessories can be purchased separately, including standalone 20" and 50" T-tracks, additional FlipStops, custom foam Systainer inserts for TPG Accessories and the TPG-20 Set, and more. 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-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
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 Slide-On Adapter - For connecting TPG T-tracks to your Festool, Kreg, Makita, or Powertec guide rails (or substitute a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square to perform the same task)

- 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) - If you previously ordered a TPG-30 or TPG-30-50 Set, you can add a pair of 20” standalone T-tracks separately

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

So easy and accurate
I put off using thse for a while, thought it would be difficult to set up. No even close. Watched a couple videos, these are SO easy to set up and calibate. Why did I wait to use them? Plus so accurate. Repeat accurate cuts every time. It's the little things like the memory collar, love it. If you are on the fence, get them. High quality. And I know the owner goes above and beyond.

Watch All Videos Before Purchasing!
I love this system for its accuracy and repeatability and it's versatility but don't purchase this until you watch all the videos of all the different parts and pieces because you will miss some and end up paying shipping three or four times.
