They are the registration blocks that make safe, repeatable off-bench track saw rips possible on any Dash-Board or MFT-style setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRequired for Track Star and Outrigger long rips.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal Setup Blocks are integral to the Dash-Board long rip configuration that uses Track Stars or Outriggers to locate the cut line off the edge of the bench. The Setup Blocks register identically on Track Stars and Outriggers to help you position a guide rail so you can safely cut the material and the air beneath it, never the bench, Outriggers, or Track Stars. This is why a pair of USBs ships standard with the Guide Rail Bracket Set, Pro Bundle, Platinum Bundle, and Core MFT Bundle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired for Track Star long rip configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired for Outrigger long rip configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded in the Guide Rail Bracket Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded in Pro, Platinum, and Core MFT Bundles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/f2-tongue_ccb2876a-4193-4246-a664-621ca7e4ebf7.jpg?v=1783439493\" alt=\"Universal Setup Block (set of 2)\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/coremft-long-rip_f67e5f08-c79f-43ea-bc4f-8e619b6135a7.jpg?v=1783439493\" alt=\"Universal Setup Block (set of 2)\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Universal Setup Blocks​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse with Dash-Board Bench Dogs on any table with 20mm holes or Dash-Board Outriggers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeatable cut line positioning to protect table top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral for use with Track Stars and Outriggers for our long rip configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in pairs, works with our Bench Dogs (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorks with ALL track saws\/guide rails:\u003c\/b\u003e Festool\/Makita-style rails · Bosch\/Mafell rails · DeWalt\/Metabo rails · Powertec · Milwaukee · WEN · Grizzly \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorks with these workbenches: \u003c\/b\u003eAll workbenches with 20mm holes \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct Safety:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe mindful of pinch points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure all hardware before use to avoid accidents or injury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate lifting form to avoid injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorkbenches and Outriggers not intended as standing platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor safest operation please keep static loads below 300 lbs or 136 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisassembly or product alterations are not recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use products for uses other than intended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Universal Setup Block do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Universal Setup Block positions your track saw guide rail accurately on your bench top, registering the rail at the same cut line every time without measuring or marking. The Setup Blocks drop into 20mm bench holes and provide a fixed registration surface that the guide rail rests against. This gives you a repeatable cut line across hundreds of cuts and protects your bench top by concentrating blade contact in a single consistent strip rather than spreading wear across the bench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the Universal Setup Block if I already own a Dash-Board bundle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Probably not — if you bought the Guide Rail Bracket Set, the Pro Bundle, the Platinum Bundle, or the Core MFT Bundle. Each of these includes 2 Universal Setup Blocks as standard equipment. If you bought the Dash-Board Workbench alone, the ShortCut alone, or are upgrading a non-Dash-Board bench à la carte, you'll likely want a pair of Setup Blocks to enable repeatable rail placement. Some owners also order extra pairs for multi-setup workflows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat workbenches is the Universal Setup Block compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Universal Setup Block is compatible with any workbench that has a 20mm hole grid on 96mm centers, including the Dash-Board bench, ShortCut bench, Festool MFT3 and 1080, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, Kreg ACS, and DIY MFT-style benches built to standard MFT specifications. The Setup Blocks drop into 20mm holes without any modification or proprietary mounting hardware — they're a true universal accessory for the MFT-style workbench ecosystem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre the Universal Setup Blocks compatible with my track saw?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Universal Setup Block is compatible with all major track saw and guide rail brands, including Festool, Makita-style rails, Bosch, Mafell, DeWalt, Metabo, Powertec, Milwaukee, WEN, and Grizzly. The Setup Blocks register against the bottom edge of the guide rail rather than any rail-specific feature, so they work with whatever rail you already own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Universal Setup Block?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Universal Setup Block is sold in pairs — 2 Setup Blocks per order. No additional hardware is required to use them; they drop directly into 20mm bench holes. For full functionality, pair the Setup Blocks with Bench Dogs to provide rail registration against the back of the rail — this is the standard configuration that ships with the Guide Rail Bracket Set and most Dash-Board bundles. Bench Dogs are sold separately if not already in your kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dashboard PWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53404144337190,"sku":"USB001-DASH","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/6a0b94dcddea45d1c3a36695_45165317718239_6c8573d3-fadc-4b6a-9e5f-27d5b5ac0690.webp?v=1782491442","url":"https:\/\/www.toolnut.com\/products\/dashboard-mft-universal-setup-blocks-for-guide-rail-positioning-2-pack-usb001","provider":"Tool Nut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
