Parallel Guide Rail System (Updated Inch Version), TWSOUL Woodworking Aluminum Guide Rail Joining Set Alloy Circular Saw Track Set Fixed Guide Rail Bracket Auxiliary Tools for Electric Circular Saw

I have been using these guide for 3 weeks cutting 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch ply. I have both Powertec and Wen tracks and it works with both. It was easy to calibrate by adjusting the length of each rail and locking down the screws. After getting the calibration dialed in I am able to slide these on the track at both ends set the measurement with limit stops and get perfect cuts very quickly. the pieces fit together very well and the set screws hold if tightened correctly. I use the imperial measurement and they are very accurate and easy to read. i have read the comments about hardware being cheap and things not fitting together but i did not have any of these issues. This seems to be well made as all parts fit together nicely , the set screws hold when extending length and the Philip screws hold the rail for calibration.This guide rail system has both metric and imperial marking which makes it a great deal. It makes my track saw easier to setup and cut without having to measure and mark first and ensures the cuts are parallel with the other end. In summary this is worth the $, well made and makes my track saw easier to use.

Quality is up there with what you’d expect from Woodpeckers. Instructions were a bit wonky but if you just follow the WP instructions, it works exactly the same. Use the thin rip guides aligned with the cut edge of your guide rail and align to zero on the short scale and everything else falls into place. Cuts are accurate. The listing says “inch version” but it actually has both inches and mm. Time will tell to see how well it holds up but since I only work in my shop and this won’t get abused, I suspect it will last. Saved me over $300 compared to the WP version.

I had high hopes for this product. I used it to cut repeat strips of 1 inch maple from 4 - 4x8 sheets of plywood for a wood slat wall. I had a helluva time keeping the guide calibrated. Both guides were calibrated using the exact same measurements, numbers corresponded, everything was exactly the same on both guides. I checked, rechecked and checked again so many times that I striped the screw heads that attach the guide system to my track saw rail. Would have been nice if they were hex screws instead of Phillips head screws. I had to run out and purchase new screws to replace the striped ones. I had 200 slats to cut. Lemme tell you, it was a pain in the butt. By the end of the project I had lost total confidence in the system. Unfortunately, It is not a tool I'll be using again.

The media could not be loaded. 2 Month Update:I am still very happy and actually use it a lot more than initially planned.I have nothing to compare it to from a quality perspective, but for the price and amount of use it was a good purchase.Not sure if this is unique to this brand, but the rails seem to be difficult to move. I added Teflon dry lubricant and they slide much smoother.Only issue I have had is with the extension connections not holding perfectly tight (hairline gap where the ends butt up tp each other). Minimal effect on the measurements (~1/2 mm)I would like to see options to buy additional stop blocks and connectors, as I tend to need more than two measurements "saved" at a time.ORIGINAL: I am a hobiest woodworker and possibly am missing something, but they seem to be good quality and accurate.I was missing 1 set screw, and had to apply some polish on the aluminum rod to make it glide smoothly, but for the price I can't complain.

This is a good value for what you get considering better versions cost from $250 to $500. However, it needs some work to make it functional. The problem is the connection between track segments. They sent the wrong screws that have heads meaning your track can't sit flush on the table. So you will need 1/4-20 set or grub screws (3/8 or 1/2"). Not only that but the 1/4-20 threads are poorly machined and not an exact match, so you will need a 1/4-20 tap to make it compatible with other 1/4-20 screws. Joining the track segments together also requires a clamp, otherwise the scale will not be accurate. By clamping them together and then tightening the set screws you can get it pretty dead on - maybe 1/128 off. I'm only using two tracks, so it may get worse off for each track segment you add. Things that would massively improve this are 1) sending with grub screws instead of headed screws. 2) instead of 4 really short tracks, 2 double length tracks. This would make attaching two tracks together unecessary for most uses. 3) hand tightenable screws to attach the parallel guide to the saw track. You have to do this all the time and getting out the screwdriver is inconvenient. It's a worthwhile purchase if you know what you're getting into.

This parallel guide for works well for a couple of cuts, and for the price, it’s hard to beat. However, over time, the screws start to loosen, and that’s where things go downhill. Cuts become inconsistent, and you’ll find yourself constantly checking and adjustment stops, which gets frustrating.If you only need it for a few quick cuts, it’s worth it. But if you’re planning on doing more than 5 repeat cuts, I’d be cautious.I’m considering replacing some screws, adding loctite to the set screws, and upgrading to a thumb twist winged bolt for the adjustment stops. I’ll update this review if those tweaks improve the experience.

This would be a great product if they sent the right parts and enough set screws. One of the parts that slide onto the track isn’t shaped correctly, so it doesn’t slide on. They also did t send enough set screws. If they fix this, it would be a great product. Unfortunately it’s not.

This seems like a lot of kit for the value. It’s a perfect combination with my Milescraft 1409 Track Saw Guide kit(https://www.amazon.com/Milescraft-1409-Track-Guide-Compatibility/dp/B0BVPXF1JR?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1). This is great for repetitive panel cuts. This will speed up your game. I have not dialed in the scale, and may not concern myself with this because I always measure anyway. Seems to be well thought out. Requires assembly and it will take 15’ to do so.
