FS1400/2-LR32-55"(1400 mm)Guide Rail with holes For Drilling. Model-496939

Festool offers some excellent products and base a lot of their product on the "system" approach. Best example being many of the saws or routers coupled with one of the Festool Dust Extractors results in very little dust/shavings into the air you breath, thus, great benefit health wise. The FS1400/2-LR32-55" is a combination of a guide rail, and enables the user to construct cabinets (non face frame style) with the indexing system. The indexing system allows proper placement of the shelf pins holes space at 32mm, and the 35mm holes for the Euro style hinges. Please note you will need to buy the LR32 system or many of the components, this rail only serves as the guide/indexing device for the LR32mm system. The rail can also be used with one of the Festool track saws or routers to allow precision cuts, dadoes, rabbets, etc.... To use the rail with one of the Festool routers you will need a Festool router/rail accessory. The rail will work with the track saws right out of the box, no adapters required. If you are considering the Festool line of equipment, note that the track saw comes with a 55" rail, but it is not this rail, typically called the "holey" rail. Some retailers will allow you to swap the standard rail for the holey rail for a small price difference. If you know you will be making cabinets, I would suggest you buy this rail with the track saw, and purchase one of the longer guide rails to cut down sheet goods. Alternatively, you can use a pair of the 55" rails, connected with two couplers, to cut sheet goods length wise.

In addition to being a standard 1400mm track, this model indexes holes for the 32mm shelf pin system. No more moving a smaller jig and indexing pin. If you have a Festool router, you can purchase the LR 32mm system to work with this track, or buy one of the numerous adapters to use your existing plunge router (I use my Porter Cable 6931) This really speeds up production of making cabinets.

What a great way to cut! The track plus the Festool track saw make easy work of accurate, straight cuts. Yes, you can always use a straight edge and your circular saw to get a straight cut. The Festool system just makes it easy, accurate, and reproducible. If I were buying, and had a commitment to the Festool system, I would probably skip this and get the one with holes for the shelf system: Festool 491622 Guide Rail For 32mm Hole Drilling System. Update after a couple of months: What a fantastic improvement over a simple straight edge. I used the guide rail as a guide for my big circular saw to rip some ipe for a deck step- didn't want to dull the Festool blade on the ipe. The rail worked great as a guide. The downside was the beginning and end of the cut where the saw was not in solid contact with the rail. While the problem could have been avoided by additional setup (support pieces for the saw at the ends), the problem would have been avoided using the Festool saw <ON> the guide rail...

Works well for 1400 that fits the LR 32

Great product. Just too pricy or it would be 5 stars.

Festool products exceed expectations. Their customer service is one of the best i have encountered.

I am not a huge Festool fan but do own both Domino machines and they are real time savers. I needed to replace my 59 inch Dewalt rail so it seemed like a good time to try out a different brand. The Dewalt rails are fine but they don't have a slot for attaching accessories like parallel guides. My thought was going with the Festool track and parallel guides would boost efficiency. This also led me to try out the LR32 system. As it turns out the Festool parallel guides were a major disappointment but that is a different review. The LR32 system and this holy rail are winners. My Dewalt saw works nicely on the Festool rail. I wish I knew this when I bought my Dewalt . The base on the Dewalt is wider than the Festool saws so some accessories like Festool's parallel guides won't work because the way they mount to the rail doesn't provide enough clearance for the fatter Dewalt saw. Fortunately there are plenty of other manufacturers who make accessories that will work. That accessory mounting slot also makes the Festool rail more solid. As with all things Festool this rail is expensive but it is well built and offers more flexibility to attach accessories. With what I saved going with the Dewalt saw (about half the price of Festool) I ain't gonna complain about spending a bit more on this rail.

I've tried Makita guide rails when I first had their track saw, I quickly had issues and upgraded to Festool. Their precision is worth the extra money if you can afford it, everything they produce is very accurate and reliable. I purchased this guide rail to use with the LR32 system, had I thought about buying that system when I bought my tracksaw I probably would have gotten this rail instead but honestly having more rails never hurts anyway. The rail comes packaged in a cardboard box with it floating in cardboard which really helps protect it all around. Soon as I set the rail up to my guide rail square I was cutting perfectly straight cuts no issues.

It does rail stuff.

As well as being used for the track saws and as a router guide it is used for the 32 mm hole boring kit for precise shelf pin holes in cabinet making. I love it

El rail es muy útil y lo he comprado porque se bajo de su precio habitual, ademas se puede usar el varias herramientas Festool.

avevo un buono sconto da utilizzare e da tanto avevo messo nella lista dei desideri questo binario. Ho già la versione da 1400mm classica , questa forata è molto utile ( assieme al sistema lr32 per la fresatrice 1010 ) per create i fori con passo 32mm tipici dei pensili e dei mobili da cucina/librerie ecc..

Qualité festool mais prix festool également... Très bon emballage qui me sert aussi dans mes déplacements
