Product Information

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I’m a rail square convert, having been a bit dismissive of them after my early experiences with a basic DeWalt version (now sold as the Triton).

That is saying that The Dacia Sandero does the same job as the Rolls-Royce Phantom apart from almost everything. You could also substitute a piece of aluminum angle/bar for the wood guide but just make sure you have a blade that is suitable for cutting aluminum that has the same kerf as your wood blade and go slow and use a little wd40 on the cut.I’m fairly certain my ts55 is cutting at 90 degrees as I’ve spent a fair amount of time calibrating it. Take a piece of masking tape and run it down the middle of the sheet perpendicular to the known straight edge. Note, if you are doing a *lot* of these cuts, like on a job site, a better alternative might be the Festool HK 55 EQ-F-Plus-FSK. Personally though, I’ve always preferred to have a good relationship with a local timberyard who can do all this processing for me; it’s business and there’s no way your time’s worth less than what the yard will charge for this kind of work, IMHO. Ideally you want to use as long a rail as possible over that length as the fewer the joins the better.

Another thing to check with the saw is the bevel angle, it must be 90degrees and definitely isn't out of the box from factory. This can be inserted with the Grooved Adaptors in the holes of an MFT top to allow the square to be used on any MFT style top for complete accuracy. Either way it might not be as convenient as having something clipped to the rail but the added versatility more than makes up for it. I also wanted a hybrid square because I use two different brand saws rails however there wasn’t any in the market.

I just square the TSO rail guide up against the sheet and then give the rail a slight lift and let it drop down rather than push it . That is absolutely doable and if you are cutting the same widths repeatedly it may well be a better option.

I’ve only been using them for about 12 years, at the time I got them they were the only available option, now there are different choices, it’s not clear to me that any of the alternatives can cut such a thin strip without using them in a different way to the way they are designed to work. Other hobby forums I am a part of, won't let you put a classified ad up until you have posted XX number of 'meaningful' posts.There is also a smaller sized SteathMounts Trax90 available featuring a low-profile square angle, ideal for shorter tracks. It works good but is a little more fiddly do to the anti slip stips and the rail doesnt really like to move once its est down. I am by no means an expert and don’t have a lot of experience wood working and therefore I never saw a need to create an account to post until now.
