Track Saw Rip & Outboard Support Platform for MFT Benches

The Track Star is the expansion platform of the Dash-Board system, supporting full-sheet rips, outboard fence mounting, parallel guides, and offcuts well beyond the bench footprint. It turns a stationary Festool MFT or Dash-Board into a configurable track saw rip-and-crosscut station that grows with your work.

Versatile. Unique. Uniquely versatile.

The Track Star started as a solution for supporting offcuts and improving access to parts when cutting scribes. Then it became the platform for full-sheet rips. Then for parallel guide mounting. Then for outboard fence support. Then for clamping outside the bench footprint. Today, the Track Star is the central expansion accessory of the Dash-Board system, the part that turns a stationary bench into a configurable rip and crosscut platform that grows with your work.

• Full-sheet rips with parallel guide registration
• Crosscut support outside the bench footprint
• Offcut support and improved access for scribing
• Expands fence mounting, clamping, and tool rest options

Mounts to virtually any bench.

Track Stars are compatible with the Dash-Board bench, ShortCut bench, Festool MFT3 and 1080, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, Kreg ACS, TrackTubes, T-slot extrusion tables made from imperial 10 series and larger, and wood-frame tables with standard T-track. When paired with SpiRail Dogs, Track Stars work with all major track saw brands. Tool-free installation lets you reposition or remove them in seconds.

Three mounting heights. 37mm of fine tuning.

Track Stars are height-adjustable to match a wide range of workbench assemblies. Each Track Star has three sets of mounting holes and 1.437" (37mm) of fine vertical adjustment within each position, controlled by tool-free all-metal knobs. This range allows the Track Star surface to sit flush with the top of the Dash-Board, ShortCut, MFT/3 and 1080, Kreg ACS, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, and DIY workbenches built within range.

• 8" (202mm) long, 5.75" (145mm) deep
• Three sets of mounting holes for common bench heights

The center of the accessory system.

Track Stars carry the full Dash-Board accessory system out past the edge of your bench. The 20mm holes and slots accept SpiRail Dogs for guide rail registration. Parallel Guides anchor directly into the holes. The F1 and F2 Surface Mount Fences mount on top. The Wingman extends your rail reach. Standard Bench Dogs, ExpanDogs, or any third-party 20mm-compatible workholding works in the same holes. This is what unlocks full-sheet rips, repeatable parallel cuts, and crosscuts past the bench edge.

• 20mm holes and slots for any compatible accessory
• Works with SpiRail Dogs for any guide rail brand
• Mounts F1 and F2 Surface Mount Fences directly
• Anchors Parallel Guides and supports the Wingman

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Track Star and what does it do? A Track Star is a side-mounted aluminum platform that slides into the side of a Dash-Board workbench, Festool MFT3, or any T-slot/T-track frame to extend the work area beyond the bench surface. The Track Stars give parallel guides, surface-mount fences, and guide rails a place to register outboard of the bench, enabling full sheet rips and long crosscuts. Each Track Star measures 8" long by 5.75" deep with three mounting heights and 1.437" (37mm) of vertical adjustment.
• What workbenches and track saws are Track Stars compatible with? Track Stars are compatible with the Dash-Board bench, ShortCut bench, Festool MFT3 and 1080, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, Kreg ACS, TrackTubes, T-slot extrusion tables made from imperial 10 series and larger, and wood-frame tables with standard T-track. When paired with SpiRail Dogs, Track Stars work with all major track saw brands, including Festool, Makita, Bosch, Mafell, DeWalt, Metabo, Milwaukee, WEN, and Grizzly. Tool-free installation lets you reposition or remove them in seconds.
• How do you rip full sheets of plywood with Track Stars? To rip full sheets of plywood with Track Stars, mount one Track Star on each side of the bench, install a SpiRail Dog into the bottom slot at each end of your guide rail, and drop the rail into corresponding slots on each Track Star. Adding Parallel Guides and the Rip Gauge enables accurate, repeatable rip dimensions on both sides of the blade. Verified buyers describe Track Stars as the key accessory that allowed them to retire their table saw.
• Are Track Stars adjustable for different bench frames? Track Stars are height-adjustable to match a wide range of workbench assemblies. Each Track Star has three sets of mounting holes and 1.437" (37mm) of fine vertical adjustment within each position, controlled by tool-free all-metal knobs. This range allows the Track Star surface to sit flush with the surface of the Dash-Board, ShortCut, MFT/3 and 1080, Kreg ACS, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, and DIY workbenches built within range.
• What accessories work with the Track Star? The Track Star works with the full Dash-Board accessory system, including SpiRail Dogs, Parallel Guides, the F1 and F2 Surface-Mount Fences, and the Wingman. The 20mm holes and slots also accept standard Bench Dogs, ExpanDogs, or any third-party 20mm-compatible workholding accessories. This compatibility makes Track Stars the central expansion accessory of the Dash-Board system, turning a stationary bench into a configurable rip and crosscut platform.
