This is a positioning aid designed for plunge-cut track saws, built for cuts where you need to start and stop the blade at an exact mark rather than running a full-length cut. It's a small piece of gear, but it solves a real problem on any job that involves sink cutouts, panel cutouts, or interior cuts that don't run edge to edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe indicator sets directly into the guide rail groove and aligns to your cutting depth, so when you plunge the saw, the blade enters and exits exactly where the indicator shows — no guessing, no test cuts, no overcutting past your line. It works as both a front and rear stop on the rail, which means you get consistent, repeatable plunge cuts at both ends of the cut, not just a single reference point. The symmetrical design lets you position it on either side of the guide rail, which matters when you're cutting close to a wall or in a tight space where you can't get a full-length rail extension on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetup is tool-free: the indicator drops in from above and locks into the guide rail groove without a wrench or screwdriver, and an adjustable scale lets you fine-tune the calibration to match your specific saw, guide rail, and even a blade that's been resharpened and runs slightly narrower than new. It also displays cutting width directly, which is useful anytime you're laying out narrow panel strips and need an accurate reference without reaching for a spacer block or tape measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis accessory is built for the Festool TS 55 R, TS 55 F, TSC 55, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS track saws used with the FS\/2 guide rail system. If you're doing sink cutouts, cabinet panel cutouts, or any layout work that calls for accurate start and stop points on a plunge cut, this is a straightforward upgrade over eyeballing your marks through the blade guard. If most of your cuts run edge to edge with no plunge involved, you likely won't get much use out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-whats-included\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tnincluded-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Position Indicator with Support Plate and Marking Indicator (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Position Indicator with Support Plate and Marking Indicator (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-key-specifications\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"aplusspecs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/specs.svg\" alt=\"specs\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Compatible Saws\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTS 55 R, TS 55 F, TSC 55, TSC 55 K, TSC 55 KS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/tool-free-change.svg\" alt=\"tool-free-change\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Installation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTool-free, drops into guide rail groove\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/depth.svg\" alt=\"depth\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Stop Function\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront and rear plunge stop, mounts on either side of rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/weight.svg\" alt=\"weight\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.23 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-compatibility\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compat-row\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/compatible.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"icon-sm\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Saw Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-detail\"\u003eFits the Festool TS 55 R, TS 55 F, TSC 55, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS plunge-cut track saws.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compat-row\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/compatible.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"icon-sm\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuide Rail System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-detail\"\u003eMounts to the FS\/2 guide rail system, including FS 1400, FS 800, FS 1900, FS 1080, and the FS 1400\/2-KP and FS 1900\/2-KP guide rails.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-applications-uses\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tags\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eCabinetry \u0026amp;
