Review: F in awesome - you need it for the track saw, you want it for the router. just do it, you'll never gripe about a miscut board again. because now its not gonna be a problem anymore. as long as your mark is good your line will be straight. very accurate, super simple, highly effective and your overall quality goes up, saving time and ultimately money. no more ooops, its just line it up and slide a saw. fits up snug to the wall out of the way.
Review: Works incredibly well. Very high-quality and has an excellent anti-tip feature with Makita saws - Works incredibly well to extend another guide. You will need the Makita kit to join them together. This is an invaluable tool, especially if you are doing finish carpentry and need to do a mider fold. Be sure to that they are straight when you connect to together. To do this simply connect them draw a line with a pencil along the cutting edge , then flip the guide around backwards and do it again along the same line. If you have them lined up straight, you should see the Lions lineup. If not, repeat and make adjustments until they do Align. This is very accurate, and make sure work of cutting down large sheet goods. I already own two, and I think I might buy another so that I could cut even longer sheets. It’s perfectly on Makita saws and has a slit cut so that Makita saws can use their anti-tip feature. Super handy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this be use with any makita circula saw?**
A: It says in the description that you can buy an adapter to use it with any circular saw (Makita 199232-5 Guide Rail Adapter for Circular Saws). Altough, having the plunge track saw would give you better cuts and will take less set up time.

**Q: Has anyone ever used this to cut a 12 foot long solid surface Corian countertop?**
A: Yes, it works great, I've connected 3 X 55" sections with 2x connecting addaptors for each connection for extra strength. As long as you take your time to set it up straight and then check measurements at the middle before every cut it works great. I've managed to rip full 12ft sheet at just 1/2 inch wide without any issues. Hope that helps.

**Q: Are there shorter versions of this track? Like 30" long.**
A: Yeah they make a 39”, it showed up in my suggested when I was looking at tracks

**Q: Do these tracks come with the splinter strips?**
A: Yes, comes complete. This track is EXACTLY the same as the Festool track so all accessories are interchangable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best thing for us who have no room for a full cabinet saw
*by J***S on September 20, 2025*

I love my Makita track saw and this guide rail. Love it so much I bought a second rail, bought the connector kit, and the carry bag. So now I can quickly join them together and make perfectly straight clean 8-foot cuts of 4x8 sheets, without any table saw. This track is precise and comes with the pre-applied zero clearance rubber edge, which overhangs, so you will trim it the first time you plunge your track saw into it. I messed it up the first time, because when the saw gets to the edge and one of the gliders on its foot slips out of the track, the saw will pivot slightly and cut the rubber under an angle. So, I ordered a new rubber strip, replaced the old one (it's a self adhesive peel-n-stick kind of affair) and redid my cut, but this time, put a second track at the end, so the saw continued going straight into the second track, cutting the rubber edge on the first one perfectly clean and straight. This is a 55" track, to you can cross cut 4x8 sheets on this, but for long cuts you will want a second rail and connect them into a 110" rail, in order to cut your sheets length wise. My track did not come with the clamps and I bought those separately, They are great, because they slide under the track and attach it securely to the table, completely hidden and out of the way. But to be honest the track has very grippy foam at the bottom, so it stays put, even if you don't use the clamps. Which ever brand you are endeared to, be it Bosch, Makita, Kreg, Mailwaukee of Festool, these tracksaws are a complete game changer for woodworking weekend warriors and allow us to make absolutely precise and super clean cuts, with not a hint of a splinter. This particular Makita rail is dead straight and even when I double two of them up in length using a connector kit, it still is perfectly straight. I upgraded my track with TSO Products GRS-16 Square (shown in pictures), which simply clips on and allows me to cut perfect 90 degree cross cuts every single time. If you see in the pictures, the bottom has two foam strips, which help hold the track to your work piece without sliding and prevent marring of your surface too (it's aluminum after all). Between the strips you see the bottom t-track where the clamps slide into and also the saw itself glides on top of. The big t-track on left side where my TSO square clipped into is also used to connect two of these tracks with a steel rod. That kit is sold separately. A nice touch on this track is that it has a hole on each end to hang it on the wall when not in use. Or do what I did and buy the official carrying case, which can store two of these 55" tracks, both clamps and the connector kit, and a spare rubber zero clearance edge, in case you need to replace it. If you are mobile, like me, you will appreciate keeping your track clean, safe and straight, in a properly padded case. And if you never used a track saw with a rail like this, all you need is some sawhorses a thick foam board to lay your plywood on top of and set the saw cutting depth to be just proud of your plywood thickness. It will cut clean through, the foam under will prevent bottom chipping and the guide rail with its rubber edge will prevent top chipping and you will get a dead straight cut just like the one in my pics. This thing is way more accurate than my jobsite table saw. I honestly use it more than my table saw these days. Building a kitchen with it as we speak.
