## Description

The Milescraft 1408 GuideRails™ allow you to extend the cutting range of the 1409 TrackSawGuide™ to whatever length required to complete your job. Each kit comes with two 27.5” aluminum guide rails, extending the total cutting range of the TrackSawGuide™ by 55”. This allows you to rip entire 8-foot sheets of plywood with your hand-held circular saw. The kit also comes with four rail joiners to allow you to connect the guide rails to your existing track saw rails.

Review: Far more affordable than competitors, makes sheet goods easy to cut - I got into woodworking as a retiree and build lots of things with sheet goods. It's difficult and dangerous to try to use a table saw to cut a 4 by 8 sheet of veneered plywood or laminated mdf and panel saws are prohibitively expensive. The track system allows precision cuts on sheet goods with minimal setup. I guess the more expensive brands can't get copyright protection for the design, which is lucky for us, because this track system is just as good and much less expensive. If I had any criticism, it would be the lack of emphasis on making sure the circular saw is parallel to the track. The included blade spacer helps position the blade but if you are not parallel, you are cutting an unnecessarily wide kerf and straining the motor of your tool, in my case a cordless Ryobi 7 inch saw. There are a few you tube videos on how to align the tool with the tool base provided to get parallel. A tip: you can buy a 4 by 8 sheet of rigid foam insulation as a sacrificial cutting surface, keeping the depth of the blade at no greater than 1/8 beyond your stock.
Review: I LOVE THIS TRACK KIT! - I bought the Milescraft Track saw kit and extension kit because I was so frustrated with trying to cut long pieces of plywood with another brand of rip cut kit. The Milescraft kit is awesome! Absolutely no need to spend $800 on the kits that come with a special track saw. I have used the Milescraft kit several times this week and it makes perfectly straight cuts quick and easy, every time. I highly recommend it for anyone. I’m a 63 year old retired female, just getting into woodworking. I put a big 4x8 2” thick sheet of styrofoam insulation on top of my workbench then place the plywood on top, mark my line and place the track on top of the plywood and clamp it down. This way I don’t need anyone to hold the piece I’m going to cut off. It works fantastic! It’s very easy to put together and attaching your saw to the track saw guide is also easy to do. It helped me to watch a few YouTube videos while attaching the circular saw. I don’t usually write reviews, but this track saw kit is all “pro’s” and no “cons”.

## Features

- Extend the cutting range of your TrackSawGuide to over 100 inches
- Includes hardware to connect to existing TrackSawGuide rails.
- All-metal construction Increases rigidity and reduces the flex for a more accurate cut
- The red cutting-strip acts as a guide and helps reduce splintering and chipping
- Not compatible with other track saw systems

Nice rail extensions for the original Milescraft track system. Extends so you can rip a full sheet of plywood length ways. Very nice addition.
