This eliminates the need to independently calibrate left and right guides. Each guide also has two reference heights (6mm and 29mm) for different cutting situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the narrowest cut I can make with Dash-Board Parallel Guides?\u003c\/strong\u003e Dash-Board Parallel Guides cut material narrower than 1\" wide and as thin as ¼\" thick with no additional attachments. The 6mm slip-under end registers underneath your guide rail for narrow cuts most other systems can't handle without optional accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the Rip Gauge to use Parallel Guides?\u003c\/strong\u003e You do not strictly need the Rip Gauge, but pairing them is the workflow most owners build out. The Rip Gauge provides a single reference for setting both guides to the same kerf-corrected dimension, replacing the individual calibration step other systems require.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat workbenches are Parallel Guides compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e Dash-Board Parallel Guides are compatible with all workbenches that have a 20mm hole grid, including the Dash-Board bench, ShortCut bench, Festool MFT3 and 1080, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, TrackTubes, and DIY MFT-style benches. They anchor using the included ExpanDogs with no drilling required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Parallel Guide set?\u003c\/strong\u003e The set includes 2 Parallel Guides, 2 aluminum caps, and 4 ExpanDogs.
