Overview
The Festool 491582 Limit Stop is a guide rail stop made for the Festool FS Guide Rail System. This is a guide rail accessory designed for repeatable cutting, controlled plunge starts, and routing reference points. Model number 491582. If you already run a Festool track saw or router on FS rails, this small part does a very real job: it gives you a positive stop point you can trust.
Mounted on the rib at the top of the guide rail, the stop gives you a fixed starting or ending point for repetitive cuts. That is the real benefit here. Instead of creeping up on a mark over and over, you set the stop once and work from there. On cabinet parts, trim pieces, and other repeated cuts, that saves time and helps keep results consistent from one workpiece to the next.
Festool also designed the stop to work with compatible TS plunge-cut saws at the rear of the sole plate. In practical terms, that means it can help reduce the risk of kickback when starting a plunge cut. That is especially useful when you're working on finish material or doing track saw work where clean, controlled starts matter just as much as the cut itself.
The design is simple, which is exactly what you want in an accessory like this. It installs quickly on the FS guide rail, takes up almost no space in the kit, and weighs only about 0.12 lb. The body is plastic, so it stays light and easy to handle while still doing the job of creating a reliable physical stop point on the rail.
Compatibility is one of the strong points. The Festool 491582 Limit Stop is made for the Festool FS Guide Rail System and is suitable for TS 55, TS 55 R, TS 55 F, TS 60 K, TS 75, TSC 55, TSC 55 K, TSC 55 KS, HK 55, and HKC 55. Festool also notes that it works for routing applications with most Festool routers, which makes it useful beyond just track saw cuts.
This accessory makes the most sense for woodworkers, cabinet installers, finish carpenters, remodelers, and serious DIY users already invested in Festool guide rails. If you only make occasional one-off cuts, you may not think much about a stop like this. If you do repeated cuts or regular plunge cuts on a rail, though, this is one of those small add-ons that makes the system work better day to day.
Set Reliable Start and Stop Points
Once the stop is in place, the rail has a fixed reference point for repetitive work. That helps when you want cuts to start or end in the same spot without having to reset every time.
- Provides a secure positive stop for starting or ending a cut
- Mounts on the top rib of the Festool FS guide rail
Helps Control Plunge-Cut Starts
On compatible TS plunge-cut saws, this stop fits at the rear of the sole plate and adds a more controlled starting point. That matters most when you are making plunge entries where kickback risk is a concern.
- Helps reduce the risk of kickbacks for plunge-cut starts
- Designed to fit seamlessly to the back of the TS sole plate

Pro Tip
If your saw already came with one limit stop, adding this second one lets you set both a start point and an end point on the rail. That is a simple way to speed up repeated plunge-cut work without re-marking the rail every time.

Tool Nut's Take
A small accessory that earns its spot in the rail kit
The Festool 491582 Limit Stop is one of those add-ons that does not look like much until you start doing repeated cuts or controlled plunge starts on a regular basis.
- Who it's for: Festool guide rail users running compatible track saws or routers, especially cabinet guys, finish carpenters, and woodworkers who want repeatable positioning.
- Why it stands out: It adds a real physical stop point on the FS rail and can help reduce kickback risk at plunge-cut starts on compatible TS saws.
- Worth knowing: This is a single stop, not a pair. If you want both a front and rear reference on the rail, buying a second one makes sense.
