How to Choose the Right Rail or Accessory
Make sure your plunge saw and accessories match in profile, fit and purpose. Here's how:
1. Rail Compatibility
Not all rails are universal. Festool, Makita and Bosch use specific tracks – check your saw’s rail fitment type.
2. Connector Kits
Use these to join two short rails into one long cutting guide. Make sure the bar fits flush with your rail’s groove.
3. Anti-Splinter Strips
Install these on the cutting edge of the guide rail to help prevent chipping on melamine, MDF or veneered board.

Guide Rail & Plunge Saw Accessory FAQs
Are guide rails universal?
Not always – check that your saw fits the rail track groove. Many brands use proprietary shapes or widths.
Do I need clamps for the rail?
For longer or angled cuts, yes. Rail clamps keep the track from shifting and help with repeat accuracy.
Can I cut full boards with a guide rail?
Yes – with rail connector bars, you can join shorter rails to span full 2400mm sheets or oversized doors.
What length guide rail should I use?
1.4m is typical for doors. Use 2.6m or joined rails for 8x4 boards. Choose based on your material size and cut path.
Do splinter guards wear out?
Eventually – especially when used across abrasive materials. Replace them when chipping increases or the edge pulls free.
