The Perfect Form Factor: Lightweight design that balances perfectly once attached to your guide rail, and compact enough to fit into a Systainer (with optional Foam Insert available)

I used to have a little Triton square which was ok but obviously nowhere near the same build quality.Consequently, the slightest vibration such as using the saw, or putting the rail against the wall temporarily between cuts, will very often cause them to come loose and the rail can slide off onto the floor, or sometimes I’m all set up ready to make the cut and I notice one is loose.

Two support tabs ensure maximum cutting accuracy, as the rail square and rail are well supported on the workpiece – preventing hanging and flex.

The GRS-16 PE is much more than a guide rail square; it's the foundation of a broader system of TSO Products designed for interoperability. In fact, the GRS-16 PE serves as a connection method for the TSO Parallel Guide System. Once connected, you can repeatedly square and parallel rip multiple workpieces. Festool MFT/3 Compatibility Draw latch hook now features a resilient coating to grasp your guide rail and protect it from marring Accessory mounting holes tapped for M6 threads—enables connection to the TSO Parallel Guide System and Angle Accessory Previously I had made my own plywood square which has been incredibly accurate. I have attached to a Benchdogs fence to that one, allowing repeat cuts out to 1.2m but it is a bit cumbersome.

With production secured, Wim also took the opportunity to redesign the rail square – developing the second generation ‘hybrid’ model, which was expected to be available from April 2021. The latest Taiga Hybrid Rail Square is compatible with most guide rail profiles available on the market – fitting perfectly to all lengths of Festool, Makita, Triton, Evolution, Mafell, Bosch, and even the DeWalt profile guide rails. Yeah, I seem to have a lot of issues with the little cam levers coming loose. When you engage them (at least on Makita rails this is) they don’t really have much travel as such, like you expect from a cam that comes in gradually. They’re just…on, or off. NEW! Rapid attachment feature: simply insert the square at any point along the guide rail and clamp it in place—no need to slide it into the guide rail from one of the ends or remove hose deflectors, clamps, or other accessories occupying the guide rail T-slot Yeah, this was my experience. I bought a Taiga rail square (since gone out of business I think) which came with calibration certificates up the wazoo, but I found that accuracy/repeatability just wasn’t there (was trying to make a couple of floor cabinet carcasses). I don’t think it was the fault of the particular square, I just don’t think they can be that accurate/repeatable for anything other than short cuts.

Hybrid design fits perfectly to all lengths of Festool, Makita, Triton, Evolution, Milwaukee (latest red version), Mafell, Bosch and DeWalt profile guide rails. Rail Square Systainer fully loaded: Includes Rail Square, TANOS Systainer³ M 112, Foam Insert, 30mm & 60mm bevel adaptors, MFT Grooved Adaptors & B-Collars, 2x 30mm Benchdogs (in line with B-collars) The GRS-16 is much more than a guide rail square; in fact, it's the foundation of a broader system of TSO Products designed for interoperability. Case in point: the TSO Parallel Guide System utilizes the M6 accessory mounting holes on the GRS-16 for attachment. Once connected, you can repeatedly square and rip multiple workpieces in a single operation. Technical Details
