Guide Rail Squaring Brackets That Fix Festool MFT Crosscut Accuracy

The Guide Rail Bracket Set solves the number-one Festool MFT complaint: guide rails that drift out of square and need constant re-calibration. These brackets lock your Festool, Makita, Bosch, Mafell, DeWalt, or Metabo rail to a repeatable 90 degrees, turning any 20mm-grid bench into a precision track saw crosscut station.

Set it once. Square crosscuts forever.

The Guide Rail Bracket Set is the precision crosscut engine of the Dash-Board system. It hinges your guide rail from a fixed, repeatable 90-degree position so every crosscut lands exactly where the last one did. No more checking it's square before every cut. No more slop. No more wondering if the rail moved when you set down the saw. Verified buyers describe the brackets as significantly more rigid than the Festool hinge design, with multiple cabinet makers reporting complete elimination of the re-squaring step before each cut.

• Patented design, refined over 10 years
• Smooth pivot mechanism with all-metal knobs
• Integrated SpiRail Dogs simplify rail alignment
• Once it's set, it stays set

Works with your track saw. Whatever you own.

The Dash-Board Guide Rail Bracket Set is compatible with every major track saw and guide rail brand. Festool, Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Mafell, Metabo, Powertec, Milwaukee, WEN, and Grizzly. The patented T-bar and T-bolt mounting systems (both included) attach to the bottom slot of any standard guide rail for the hinged bracket, and the included SpiRail Dog fits any guide rail to register on the front bracket.

• Compatible with Festool, Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Mafell, Metabo, Powertec, Milwaukee, WEN, Grizzly
• Both T-bar and T-bolt mounting hardware included
• SpiRail Dog included for universal rail registration

Mounts to virtually any MFT-style bench.

The Guide Rail Bracket Set isn't just for Dash-Board. It mounts to the Festool MFT3 and 1080, the Benchdogs Ultra MFT, the Kreg ACS, TrackTubes, T-slot extrusion tables with 8mm slots, and homemade DIY MFT tables built with T-tracks on their sides. Verified buyer reviews describe replacing the Festool rail hinge with the Dash-Board brackets as the upgrade that eliminated the constant re-squaring MFT3 owners commonly report.

• Dash-Board, ShortCut, Festool MFT3 and 1080
• Benchdogs Ultra MFT, Kreg ACS, TrackTubes
• T-slot extrusion tables (8mm slot)
• DIY MFT tables with side-mounted T-tracks

Out of the way when you don't need it.

When the brackets are not in use, they drop conveniently below the bench top and stay there. They don't take up space on your work surface, they don't get in the way of clamping, and you don't need to remove them to use the bench for anything else. Maximum cutting height with the rail in position is 2.9" (74mm), which handles 4/4 through 12/4 hardwood lumber, doubled-up sheet goods, and most face-frame and cabinet door stock.

• Drops below table height when not in use
• Maximum cutting capacity: 2.9" (74mm)
• Handles 4/4 through 12/4 hardwood
