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.

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!
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.
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...
Thanks
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.
Súper how u setup very easy!!
Thanks for the demo, as a beginner I would have like to see the cut.
You’ll just have to subscribe to see my future videos of it in action 😜👍😊
IKR, the title read "first use".
ill do one in a week or two. If I forget, reply to this and ill do the whole tpg, calibrations and use. Im waiting for some parts to show up.
Hi..When are you going to do your kitchen cabinet build series, looking forward to that?
Been releasing a video a week. This week will be week four. I’ve been putting them into a playlist
@@DaileyWoodworks Will look for that, thanks
I have the whole kit with the Festool track saw.
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?
I know this is a year old....but MFT is more versatile and easier to cut small or big cuts. But the rail square and parallel guides are more portable. But they do need to be checked from time to time. I have the rail square and parallel guide because I don't have a pick up. So I cut it all up on the parking lot of homedepot's of the world. Big retail home improvement stores. But I also built an MFT like table with Parf guide kit. Much cheaper option than buying an MFT table.
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
I personally don't see the need for the 50". The guides work great for batching out parts, however I do mostly custom furniture and the set up time isn't worth it for 1-2 cuts.
The squares are absolutely worth it though. And maybe the 30" parallel guides
Hi Robert. Thank you for your advice. Per your recommendation I went with the 30" kit. I haven;t had the chance to use it yet, but your videos are a great help. Thanks again!
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?
I have a video covering his subject czcams.com/video/op511kzrzNs/video.html
In short. I own a lot of festool and am happy to pay that premium. However despite losing a few bells and whistles I believe the Makita cuts just as well and accurately as the festool. I use my 118” track as a jointer for large slabs before glue up.
I do not regret buying the Makita over the festool. I’ve used both, both are very good but the Makita is the better value.
I have not observed the issues you’re describing on my model.
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.
tso website says the connectors to track only work with festool?
They have two types of connectors. The quick connecting one only works with festool. The standard one will work with Makita
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?
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.
At least you got your parts. I have been waiting two months for some parf dogs and still haven’t received them. Save your time and money. Try woodpecker, at least they ship the parts out right away
I also had trouble with the different colours of blue. I bought a heap of gear and one of the 4 TPG adapters was a different shade of blue to the others. Very dissappointing for such expensive gear.
That’s not a very accurate way of doing it….
Not worth the money.
