Festool parallel guide12/7/2023 Other times I use the 1.08m rail on the MFT with the GRS mounted to the hinge when I'm just cutting down small pieces. Sometimes I use my 1.9m rail with the GRS mounted to the front of the cut when cutting large sheets to form a square edge. I then have a GRS-16PE on my shorter rail for cross cuts. I have a flip stop on each arm and so can make quick repeatable width cuts. To this I normally just screw on the 30inch rulers and use this for long rip cuts of sheet goods. My setup also includes two of the TPG adaptors that I use fixed to my long 2.7m rail. The calibration with the flip stops is a doddle. The TSO has engraved or fixed full length ruler so that's a good deal, and they are super easy to attach and detach. I've never got along with the Incra tape measures, it just seems such a hassle to get them all aligned correctly and stay so. It is very quick to setup and very flexible. I've also had two other systems, one I sent back, the other I sold on to get the TSO. I've got the TSO GRS-16PE and the TPG-50 set. I did pick up the adapter later with plans to sell the GRS-16. I already had the GRS-16 PE so added the GRS-16 since the guide rail adapter wasn’t available at the time. Quote from: Mike Goetzke on January 21, 2020, 10:25 PM I’ve had the TPG-50 complete set since it came out. I built some MFT slab type tables and several dogs thinking this is they way I would work but have grown attached to the TSO square and parallel guid system exclusively. I’m almost thinking since I don’t use both guides very often one might be able to get away with only the 50” LHS track if you wanted to save some bucks. At first I thought maybe I only needed the 30” bar but find myself using all of them.įor the long rips where you need the RHS and LHS bars I have found so far I like using two GRS’s better than one with the adapter because no tools are required to clamp a square to the rail - will need more experience to see if the adapter is adequate. Probably like most I use the square with a RHS bar the most for ply and hardwood work. I’m a weekend warrior but have used the system quite a bit. I’ve had the TPG-50 complete set since it came out.
