I’ve been thinking about the giant triangle just to get the longest reference lines possible. However, everything he showed here either I already can do with tools I have or I’ve never needed to do. I don’t understand using extra guides if you have a precise set of holes in your MFT top.
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzread.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
Saw the ad from TSO today. Thanks for all the detail on using it. It really helped clarify all the uses and the value it adds. Now to work on the budget.
I am so glad that TSO is supporting the Kreg plunge saw. Back when COVID first shut everything down, I needed a track saw for a remodeling project. At the time, the only saw in stock in my area was the Kreg. It works very well and I'm happy with it. But, one of my regrets about the saw is that there is very little third-party accessories available for it. The Kreg accessories work, but they are more fiddlely than they need to be and can be difficult to work with.
Nice job explaining the functionality. Videos like this are a great reference for the tool to see if it fit your particular needs. 😊

That looks to be a great thing for serious woodworkers or professionals and thanks for showing it.
Jason, I have had the larger MTR18 set for some time now, which I love. I can see how useful the smaller triangle would be. I’m going to reach out to TSO to see if they will sell me the smaller triangle only, since I already have the set. Thanks for the video!
Again,excellent presentation.Probably a very handy tool.
Have rewatched this video at least four times. great overview. I REALLY want one especially as TSO has a sale this weekend (Memorial Day). But I just don't need it. If I did it over again I would use this and the GRS-16PE (I bought a GRS-16 years ago).
Your videos are well conceived and present what was intended, ignore the critics! I probably wouldn't have any TSO tools were it not for influencers like yourself. I own their parallel guides in 30" and the GRS 16.
Hey Jason. Just wanted to thank you for your ausome shop lights Video. I purchased lights through Jim at American Greenlights and I couldn't be more pleased.

You oversimplify the negative reactions into just one cause. There are probably several points of contention. Personally, I object only to the blatant and insulting click bait title which demeans what is usually high quality content from this contributor. People can't talk about what they will never own, for whatever reason.
I have been eyeing this for a good while now. Thank you for demonstrating the track saw capabilities. I’m still hesitant to drop the money on it, though. I’m concerned about the long term durability and accuracy of pressure fittings on aluminum. If they inset the pin holes and angle gauge with steel and put detents to hold the setting, I would definitely buy.
Literally just bought the full MTR 18 kit. Good timing. Not the exact same item, but a lot of this will translate I'm sure.

You did a great job with their ad -- this was more of a deep dive into the product. I hope they use this on the site because I saw the usefulness when you first presented this. I see even more value this time around... I'm on the verge of buying it.

There are three flavors of kool aid Red Blue and Green. I love all three. Red = Woodpeckers, Green= Festool and Blue=TSO . I have the full size version and when I tell people how much it cost they about choke. For me I was able to make room in my shop by unloading my miter saw which I really didnt use all that much. With the TSO system I am able to dial up angles with out my miter saw. Oh real quick I noticed you are using the bench dog fence they sell a special dog that has a flat edge to it to support the part of the fence that goes under your track I have it and it makes it a lot more robust. Well thank you for posting your videos I love them .
Everybody doing something in a systainer with small parts needs a "small parts container'. Many of my systainer items end up coming out of the systainer because I don't feel like they hold the odds and ends well. I think this was a great bit of coverage on this tool. I had been hesitant on this one even though I'm very happy with my TSO tools because I didn't have a feel for why it wasn't just another triangle. As much as I love good triangles, they're big expenses. Now that I see this, this will actually perform many tasks for me on the MFT. For example, I don't have a good tool for doing mitered cuts on the MFT track and this will help. I don't use a fence at all with the track saw on the MFT using parf dogs as a wall and TSO TDS dog stops for repeatable cuts and a square like this could perform the same task as the dogs in many cases. Honestly, I'd love to have a setup where nothing is permanently attached to the MFT surfaces, but the Dashboard hinge is so reliable I haven't found a way to replace it. For example, I've tried the UJK Dog Rail clips or Adjustable Height Guide Rail dogs, but I find for single cuts they slow down setup compared to using the Dashboard and the Rail clips cut parallel right down saw holes. They're better if you're using a smaller, easier to move piece of guide rail.

The TSO MTR-X is a great looking tool. WoodPeckers has a new tool that looks interesting and would work with the TSO MTR-X . The new tool is called ALIGN-A-SAW SYSTEM amd it has a component tool called Align-A-Saw Plate Only and it makes calibrating you table saw easier.
Could one get this instead of the GRS-16? Would it work just as well for square cuts (maybe not quite as fast, but just as accurate)?
That's a nice piece of kit. A bit odd that it comes with the foam but no systainer.
How well does it work if you want to put a scrap piece under your workpiece if you don’t want to cut into your work table?
Hi Jason, have you tried or do you know if the MTR-X can be used with the TPG parallel guide system? Similar to what you can do with the GRS-16.
TSO just came out with a rail attachment for the large 18" square too..

That or something similar should have been included in the Kreg Adaptive Cutting System. Very nice tool and again a very thorough demonstration. Can we say this tool is very very pricey?
Guess I can get it since I was gifted a PTR-18 🤷🏾♂️
Just bought this 2 weeks ago and now returning it. Despite being so expensive, I really wanted to love it for how precise and practical it would be. The triangle itself seems square, same as the alignment of the holes for pins and dogs, but the protractor markings are off. TSO customer support was quick, but wouldn't recognize the issue. Very disappointed.

Guy, that would depend on the cost of each. This square can do the same thing as the guide rail square with a few more functional uses. Do you have a MFT or track saw? Do you have other woodworking machines that a square fence to table is needed? I replaced my original Festool track brackets on the mft due to slop when squaring for cuts, with a dashboard system for the mft that came with mft table to track square for squaring the table and track. TSO make excellent products, but the cost is out there like Woodpecker products. In the end it is your wallet that the money comes out of. Buy what works for you personally and will work in making you a better wood worker or assists your woodworking.

I would think that a person would have upgraded their miter gauge before splurging on this. It is very versatile though too expensive to make use of myself.
Just wondering, in regards to all your tools. How much of a dollar $ value do you put on them all? Secondly how many of said tools have you purchased with out of pocket cash? It just seems that your shop is an extension of a tool store 👍👍
I agree with you that TSO Products have good quality products and I own several of them. The MTR-18 mainly because I kinda took your review as a recommendation. You see I have the MFT & Benchdog fence as well.

Some overlap but this does so much more
I love my Dewalt radial arm saws. I have seen where some people have incorporated a miter slot 90 degrees to the fence and use a precision miter gauge and never take their Dewalt off of 90. I think two dog holes 90 degrees to the fence and one of TSOs triangles to act as a fence would be just as good if not better.
US$315 plus shipping. No case. Ok then. The dog holes on MFT are already set up for perfect 90 and 45 - you don't need extra tools to lay out those cuts perfectly 100% of the time.

The miter gauge alignment procedure shown starting at 9:25 in the video is not accurate. Miter gauges should be aligned with the face/fence to the bar, not to the blade. As shown in the video, any misalignment between the blade and miter slots will manifest itself in the accuracy of the angle. Think about using a miter gauge on a router table or bandsaw - you wouldn't think of aligning to the router bit or bandsaw blade, yet you can get accurate cuts if you align the miter face/fence to the miter bar.
no stops for common angles = no good.
