TSO Rail Square and Parallel Guides - Taking your track saw to the next level - Set up and first use

(PRE-ORDER BY 11/30/2020, check the link for available inventory.

TSO makes high-quality rail squares and parallel guides for your Festool and Makita tracks. I bought the full set up to almost completely eliminate the need for a table saw for cabinet making.
This video show the unboxing and how to set up the parallel guides.

I bought this kit before starting my personal kitchen remodel and this kit saved me a lot of time.

How to build kitchen cabinets series with plans coming soon.

Just got these in yesterday for my Festool track saw. I love them so far. I just did some initial cuts to register them. I think it’s going to make a huge difference. I did find another way of getting the stops calibrated. I watched Stantons video on it. Love the accuracy I got.

I love that you don't read instructional materials, just start assembling and learn as you go. Properly designed equipment allows for that; most of us are smart enough to to figure things out via the reverse engineering process!

Please make sure your viewers understand they must purchase in the correct order. I purchased the square. Enjoyed it and then purchased the 20” kit. It met my needs but the 30” was a needed upgrade. YOU CANT DO THAT! If you want to add a 30” you must purchase the entire system again! You can add a 20 or a 50 but not a 30 without buying an entire kit again.

Lol! I did the same thing with that insta trash square from tool nut. I just ordered the tso squares and the guide system. Funny that I just started looking for setup vids today and that you mentioned that...

Hi. Thanks for the informative video. I recently purchased the Makita Track Saw system.
My question: I'm looking into the TSO parallel guide system. They offer a 20" inch rail, a 30" rail, and a combo set of 30"/50" rail ($100 more than the 30" set). In my spare time, I enjoy building small furniture for family and friends (book cases, shelves, tables, etc. in my side-of-the-garage shop. In your opinion, which rail size would you recommend? Thanks again! PS: I don't want to spend the extra cash on the 30/50 combo kit LOL

Hi..When are you going to do your kitchen cabinet build series, looking forward to that?

[ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

Hi there can I ask you something please. I am just wondering if I used like you parallel guides and even a rail square with my track saw do I really need a MFT top to serve the same purpose for your perfect 90 degree cuts? In other words i want to save money without overlapping the tools i want to buy. what do you think if you had a choice of one or the other?

how's your feelings on that makita cordless saw after having it a bit. Reason i ask im in the market for one and cant decided Makita or Festool. Ive used the Makita that a sub contractor had and noticed some flaws. Im heavily invested in Makita cordless tools . Issues i found with the Makita was tracks were not the same. The sub contractor that let me use was bragging it up there for i never told him my thoughts. First i noticed the saws base was not flat. 2nd took me a bit but i thought the adjustment on the saw to take out the slop of the track keep loosing, But is was not that. If i went from a 55inch track to the 118inch track i had to adjust every time . Never used the Festool but if money is not the deciding factor, what is the best hands down for precision?

Hey bud, just a tip, i ordered the upgraded flip stop kit after a couple months of using the OG, which looks like you have. They was like 20$ per flip stop. I ordered 5mm stop collars after no being so impressed. Im putting them on Monday and doing a review also if you want to check it out. After 6-7 months, that guide stop can drift, it happened to me. A couple times, that being the reason I upgraded.

anyways good luck.

Thanks for the demo, as a beginner I would have like to see the cut.

tso website says the connectors to track only work with festool?

[rasmuschristianhg]

I just got the my parallel guide system. But was very disappointed when I
discovered that one of the rails had a different color of blue than the
other 5. Has any one experinced the same?? I also got the MTR-18,
GRS-16 PE og GRS-16, they are the same blue color as the one of the
rails.

Thanks - great video. Has anyone tried the TSO Rail Square on a Wen track? Is it compatible? Website does not list it, but curious if anyone has tried it?

[charlesdelanoy]

That’s not a very accurate way of doing it….
