A Better Way to Connect Guide Rails
Watch this video to see how the GRC-12 auto-aligns and secures two guide rails at the same time, while eliminating the need for expensive straight-edges.
Another TSO innovation, the GRC-12 is a first-of-its-kind, self-aligning guide rail connector for use with Festool, Makita, Milwaukee, Kreg ACS, POWERTEC, WEN, and Triton brand guide rails. Before the GRC-12, aligning connected guide rails required a variety of methods and additional tools to achieve straight connections, with misalignment often difficult to detect without a long straight edge or similar tool. This issue becomes obvious too late—when gaps show up during assembly or glue-up.
The GRC-12 TSO guide rail connectors solve this problem with a completely self-contained and self-aligning design - thanks to an innovative integral keystone feature. Simply slide the GRC-12 into your guide rail T-slots and firmly tighten the M6 Mushroom Head Screws - that's it.
Because small hex wrenches can be annoying to deal with, we’ve solved that too: the included ball hex driver drops easily into the hex socket and is large enough not to get lost or easily overlooked.

Great guide rail connectors
I own one Festool guide rail, one Makita and two Powertec guide tails. These fit perfectly in my Festool, and they fit pretty well in my Makita. My Powertec rails are slightly too large to utilize the bevels. I do plan on upgrading everything to Festool guide rails so this eventually wont be an issue for me. A huge PRO for me are the large flat "set screws" my previous connector rods were leaving indents in my rails due to the tiny set screws. I highly recommend these. Another great TSO product.

Rail connections fit perfect. ? the 3mm screws are a wonderful upgrade to the stock straight slot screws.
Highly recommended

Self Aligning Guide Rail Connectors
I bought for my 2 Makita 1400mm rails having had issues with both the Festool and Makita ones. Now even without fiddling around with a long straight edge or string line it’s all perfectly straight!

Guide Rail Connectors
The connectors worked great straight out of the box. Clever design that fits very cleanly into my Makita tracks. Simple easy instructions. No adjustments or alignment required. Provides beautiful straight cuts. Easy to dismantle and connectors store in the track.

Guide Rail Connectors
I bought these TSO Guide Rail Connectors for use with my Mikita Track saw and rails. They worked great and were easy to attach and align the rails. They also fit in a pocket in my Makita Rail case for storage. Recommend these rails. Would buy again.
