Description

To Complete Your Order: Buy two guide rail adapters (sold separately) based on compatibility. The Drop-On TPG Adapter fits Festool and Kreg ACS. The Slide-On TPG Adapter fits Makita, Milwaukee, Festool, RIDGID, and more. For added functionality, use a Guide Rail Square in place of one adapter.

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.

How to Build Your TSO Parallel Guide System

  • STEP 1: Select a TPG Set based on maximum rip cut width
  • STEP 2: Select a method of attachment compatible with your guide rail. Sold separately. Buy any two.

    My 1st full day using was life changing

    Posted by Doug michael on 2nd Apr 2023

    Today was the 1st day where I had to break down 4 sheets of plywood for a dresser project so I decided to break out the parallel guides. I have had projects in the past were these were available but I didn’t use because I thought the time spent to setup would not be worth the effort but my attitude has changed and so has my thoughts on this system. Once I calibrated the system it took my wasted time for cut changes to almost nothing. I am a believer, don’t be scared because it works like it says it does.

    The TPG guide system is easy to calibrate and very accurate. Easy to use. I'm extremely pleased with the system.

    Good, but for the money, I am disappointed

    Posted by Nick on 23rd Mar 2023

    To start with, let me say that the build quality is excellent. These appear to be very well-made and a lot of small things thought out. However, they are one of (if not the most) expensive parallel guides on the market, so I think it's important to factor that in. First, the price doesn't even include guide rail connectors, which are required to actually use the guides with a guide rail. I understand that there are different options, but you should just be able to pick which ones you want and have that be included in the price. Instead, I had to spend an extra $100 on those. Second, the suggestion calibration procedure is not very accurate. They suggest placing a square OVER the rail, but in my experience, having it go UNDER the rail produces much better results. I think I calibrated these 5 times before I was finally satisfied. Third, the flip stops are just not the best. I wrote up a review of those on their page, but basically the anti-parallax indicator is truly frustrating and unintuitive to use. Why they didn't just use, say, a red line on a clear plastic pane like everyone else is a mystery to me. This offers no clear improvements over that and is much harder to use, which makes it that much harder to get both guides set the same (and therefore actually parallel). They also have a tendency to shift slightly as I tighten them down. Finally, the narrow rip option is... fine, I guess. But other parallel guides provide a way to prop the rail up without the need of extra pieces of wood and again, this setup is at least double the price of those systems. Ultimately, these are not BAD parallel guides. But they are absurdly expensive, include fewer parts than cheaper options, and are harder and more fiddly to use than those other, cheaper options. All for no real additional benefit. If they fix the indicator on the flip stops, improve the narrow rip support, and cut the price in half, then these will be an easy recommendation. Until then... they are probably not worth it compared to other options.

    TG Parallel Guide System

    Posted by Angie Williams on 21st Mar 2023

    This system has completely changed the way I will be building. I love how easy it is to set up. I love how accurate it is. And how much time I save using this. I wish I had bought this sooner. I've been hesitant about making cabinets and made my first set with these. I made (2) 24" cabinet bases. I made the first one just to see how accurate it was. And... it was out of repurposed plywood. Cutting clean edges and getting accurate repeatable cuts was easy. I made the second base cabinet the next day. Reset everything.... and they were exactly the same. I love it!
