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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat workbenches and track saws are Track Stars compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you rip full sheets of plywood with Track Stars?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre Track Stars adjustable for different bench frames?\u003c\/strong\u003e Track Stars are height-adjustable to match a wide range of workbench assemblies.
