When using a Festool router on the guide rail in conjunction with the guide rail adapter are there manufactured Festool stops available for adding on on to the guide rail for producing repetitive stopped housing joints etc.?
I've looked on at Festool dealers websites without finding anything so far.
 
Yes there are, they fasten in one of the grooves on the rail and flip over as and when required.

Yes!!!
Thanks pcb1962 and custard for your replies.
I thought there must be something available and actually just watched an American youtube video where he uses those stops with a router on the track. There was some confusion as I also came across the same product which is also known as a limit stop.
However that certainly is what I was after.
Thank you.
 
Hi roughCut. I was also looking for some of those but thought 12 quid easy was a little steep. Made a couple up out of two blocks of wood with a grove to fit the track and a couple of router jig parts. Took no time and works great.

Yeah that's a good idea noddy67 and would be easy to make actually had I thought of it.
However I've now got a pair of the Festool stops so might as well use them now.
