These extras give you more control, flexibility and precision during cuts – especially for tricky layouts or finish work:

- Splinter Guards – Replaceable strips to reduce breakout and tearing on board edges.
- Vacuum Adapters – Connect your plunge saw to site dust extraction systems.
- Guide Rail Joiners – Extend your cutting range with accurate rail alignment.

Choosing Accessories That Fit
Accessories vary between rail and saw systems. Match them carefully to avoid poor fit or damage:
1. Brand-Specific Fittings
Makita, DeWalt, Festool and Bosch each use different guide rail profiles and stop clip shapes. Stick to the right brand where possible.
2. Splinter Strip Width
Make sure your splinter guard is the correct width and adhesive type for your track. Many are peel-and-stick with cut-to-fit rolls.
3. Joiner Type
Bar-style joiners provide better alignment than pin versions. Look for tensioning or locking bars for best precision.

Plunge Saw Accessory FAQs
Do I need to replace splinter strips?
Yes – over time they wear or cut unevenly. Replacing them restores your saw’s clean edge and prevents chip-out on cuts.
Will rail stops fit any guide rail?
No – rail stops are brand specific and slide into unique track profiles. Always check compatibility with your rail brand.
Are vacuum adapters included with plunge saws?
Some saws include a basic adapter, but many third-party accessories offer better hose compatibility and dust capture performance.
Can I cut mitres with accessories?
Some guide rail systems have angle accessories or protractors. Check your saw model and available add-ons for mitre functionality.
Do I need both a splinter guard and dust shroud?
It depends – splinter guards protect the cut edge, while dust shrouds improve air quality. Use both for best performance on indoor jobs.
