Festool Guide rail FS 1080/2 491504
Invented and perfected by Festool: The guide rail. For making cuts and grooves with impressive precision. With slideway lining for guaranteed machine smoothness, a groove for screw and lever clamps and splinter guard for splinter-free sawing. Making breakthroughs in precision and convenience since 1964. The original is available in eight different lengths from 800 to 5000 mm.
- Zero-play guidance – you can adjust the guidance jaws on the circular saw to fit the guide rail without using tools
- Splinter-free cuts – the splinter guards positioned directly on the scribe line prevent the edges from splintering, even on angled cuts
- Precision results – the router guide stop was designed for precision grooves
- Quick for diagonal cuts – with guide rail and combination bevel, angles are easy to transfer from the workpiece or wall
Usage:
- Safe, perfectly straight power tool guidance. Splinterguard for splinter-free sawing. Can be properly positioned even on smooth materials because of the backing layer for gripping. Protects the workpiece surface from being damaged. Additional groove for use with accessories permits additional applications. Coating for smooth running on the machine
The slideway lining ensures that the machine runs along the guide rail.
The KickbackStop serves as a limit stop or secures the circular saws against kickbacks when inserting in the tool.
By using the combination bevel along with the guide rail, angles can be directly and easily marked on a workpiece without a great deal of calculation and effort.
In combination with the jigsaw, accurate cuts can be made in wood that is up to 20 mm thick.
Using the router with the stop allows you to produce precise, straight grooves. Place directly on the guide rail and start routing.
The guidance jaws of the circular saws can be adjusted to fit the guide rail without tools. This allows the machine to be guided without play and produces exact cuts.
The adhesive cushion strips keep the rail secure while simultaneously protecting the surface. Clamps, FS-Rapid quick-action clamps and the GECKO dual suction pad are also available for a more secure grip.
The rubber lip right at the scribe mark works as a splinter guard and prevents the edges from splintering even with angled cuts.
Two guide rails can be conveniently connected and aligned using the connecting piece.
The deflector prevents the suction hose and cable from getting caught up on the end of the guide rail.
