FC guide rail square

[Jamied]

Evening all,
I'm a kitchen fitter cutting a lot of laminate splashback , panels , lots of stuff that needs to be square.
I love my festool plunge saw and rail .
Instead of marking out a measurement twice and cutting to my marks with my rail, I really fancy one of those rail square guides that turn my rail into a large t square.
Axminster do one with tso products and there are other versions. I fancy the F C version as it's made in England and looks good quality, any thoughts on this, or has anyone got one?

Recently got one of the TSO versions from Axminster, it was a bit of a leap of faith given the cost for such a relatively simple thing but I am really pleased with it, makes life so much easier and quicker. Had it for a couple of months now and the cost is largely forgotten, beautifully made and more importantly does exactly what it is supposed to, highly recommended.

Seems to rate it, with a cheaper version coming soon.

Thank you for the tip, just watched it and ordered the version for my rail, does not look as sexy, but £45 cheaper, and free postage which is a bonus from a smaller firm.
Looking out for the parcel force van now!

Hmm - accurate to 4 microns? .. so you get a spec of dust, or you push to hard, and now that 4 microns means nothing

The rest of the system (rail and saw) is nowhere near that accurate. So whats the point? ...wouldn't a version milled to the same accuracy as the rail be much cheaper and just as good? Or am I being naive?
