It is really good for the slide rail to move smoothly also in Festool's t-groove, because many of us constantly change parallel guides from one rail to another. I fixed the problem by adding small strips of plastic between the t-slide bars and the parallel guides. The area between the fastening screws is sufficient for the filling. A good strip thickness would seem to be around 0.6-0.8 millimeters. The material of the strips probably has no importance for the accuracy of the parallel guide, they could just as well be cardboard, etc.
Yes and also, with the festool ts(v) 60 track saw, you have to cut about 3 to 5 mil from the first rail-piece otherwise you cannot calibrate, the calibration rod cannot reach the sawblade. Then its ok and accurate
I have just received my PLG order. Have the same issue. Even without the small grub screws in the bar, unless you loosen the two main screws fixing the rail to the bar it will not slide into the channel. I would expect that these screws would remain tight and would secure in place by then tightening the small grub screws in the bar.
@@philhario3640I enlarged the picture in your post and can clearly see the screws are not installed correctly. Put them in the opposite way and you can still use the Allen key to tighten

Just added a very small shim in between bar and Rail fixing. Works OK now, however, should not have to do this.
They’re not supposed to move once you’ve set the width
I recently purchased them and had the screws in wrong first till I noticed that they had to go in on the bottom side
You have the rail screws in wrong. They need to be the opposite way
Hi, could you give me a timestamp of where you're referring to?
