## Description

Product Description Make your jobs easier by bringing the tool to the work. Available in eight different lengths, there’s an ideal rail for every application. In addition, Guide Rails are quickly and securely connectible to allow for customized cutting lengths, plus easier transportation and storage. From the Manufacturer Festool FS Guide rails are available in eight different lengths from 32 inches to 197 inches (800 - 5000 mm), providing the right rail for every application. The integrated splinterguard aligns perfectly to your cut line, saving set up time and serving as protection against tear out, on cuts both with the grain and across. Guide rails can be easily connected using the accessory guide rail connectors for a rigid, secure and continuous connection. Guide rails make work easier by taking the tool to the work, and save time and money by eliminating laborious measurements, rework and wasted material. Use the FS 1400 Guide Rail (55 inches) with the Festool TS Plunge cut saw to make precision cuts up to 49 inches long. Connect rails using Festool Guide Rail Connectors to make limitless cuts.

Review: Get ready to be Nickeled and Dimed - Festool tools are without a doubt, just plain really nice. However, really nice has a price, and that is OK, but when you start to nickel and dime the user, well, I might put up a bit of a stink about that. So, $120 for this product, oh you want to join two together? Another $50 for that, And Oh, you really should have a splinter guard, another $40 please. Another supplier of fine tool accessories has a similar product that is $99 and comes with the connectors and splinter guard. But if you require Festool compatibility, well, there you go. Despite the fact I feel Festool goes out of their way to make their tools really expensive, I don't mind (too much) purchasing them. They are very high quality products, and I only bumped them down one star for being cash grabby. EDIT: OK, I am chastened. I just got the connectors for these rails, and, OK, the connectors are probably worth the $50 and Festool is not quite as cash grabby as I accused them. So, I would say that not only is the Festool System is very good, it is also worth what they are charging.

I have the 75" guide rail and wanted the 55" for shorter cuts and easier handling. Festool is fine but if your paying attention to reviews grousing over costs and how well things Festool work together, you might consider other brands for better performing support gear. One dream about buying the saw and one of these rails is, you can measure two places and lay down this fence in place. A clamp lightly on at both ends will keep it in place and the kerf line, once used once, will tell you exactly where to lay this rail. Perfect precise cuts for one at a time setups. For repeatability, you will need an aftermarket alignment system for faster repeat cuts. I waited years to decide to get this setup...and used TSO aftermarket gear. Excellent results and you save money by shopping around for that support gear.
