INTRODUCTION
The TSO Parallel Guide (TPG) System utilizes two precision
extruded T-tracks attached perpendicular to your guide rail with
two precisely machined FlipStops which engage the edge of your
workpiece parallel to your guide rail's cutting line—resulting in
accurate and perfectly repeatable rip cuts. The TPG Parallel Guide
System is compatible with any length of Festool®, Kreg®, Maki-
ta®, Powertec® and Triton® brand guide rails.
The TPG Parallel Guide T-Track is
a proprietary aluminum extrusion
incorporating a permanent laser-en-
graved scale in both inches and
millimeters. When ordering the TPG
System, you have the option of select-
ing 20" (508mm), 30" (762mm) and/
or 50" (127cm) T-Tracks. Note that 20" (508mm) and 50" (127cm)
T-Tracks can be ordered as standalone accessories. For added
capability when making extra-wide rips, we also offer a T-Track
connector to join multiple lengths of TPG T-Tracks.
The TPG FlipStops are precision
machined and assembled to fi t left- or
right-hand T-tracks. The appropri-
ate confi guration is included with
each TPG set. Note the FlipStops are
designed to be reversible (left or right)
should you need to reconfi gure in the
future. Each FlipStop features a unique
parallax-free viewing cursor enabling
fast, accurate adjustment. New with Version 2.0, a Calibration
Memory collar eliminates the need to re-calibrate the FlipStop

when changing between narrow cut and standard calibration rods.
Connecting TPG T-Tracks to your
guide rail can be accomplished using
either a GRS-16 Guide Rail Square,
GRS-16 PE Guide Rail Square, or TPG
Adapter. Either two TPG Adapters can
be used; or one TPG Adapter and one
GRS-16 Guide Rail Square; or two GRS-
16 Guide Rail Squares (one of which must be a GRS-16 PE for the
left-hand T-Track, as it is the only square capable of referencing off
the front or back edge of your workpiece).
CALIBRATION: FOR FINISHED PARTS WIDER THAN
GUIDE RAIL
1. Mount the TPG Parallel Guide T-Track to the GRS-16 Guide
Rail Square or TPG Adapter using the (2) M6 x 10 mm knobs
provided.
2. Slide the FlipStop onto the TPG Parallel Guide T-Track, cursor
end fi rst, and tighten (secure) the knob.
3. Attach the GRS-16 Square + Parallel Guide assembly to the Fes-
tool, or Makita or Triton guide rail as shown.
If you own a combination square, skip to step 8.
4. Mark a line on the workpiece at 10 inches (254mm) from the
edge.
5. Place the assembled Guide Rail + GRS-16 Square + Parallel
Guide on the workpiece and set the cursor to the 10-inch
(254mm) mark.
6. Loosen the Screw securing the Calibration Rod and slide the rod
so that it contacts the edge of the workpiece. Then tighten the
screw securely with the 3mm hex driver provided.
7. This calibration should be complete for this saw and guide rail
combination, but cuts should be checked occasionally to con-
fi rm nothing has changed.
