The benchdogs square also has tapped holes into which you can screw long dogs, for when you need to cut a post-formed kitchen worktop and can’t reference off the top edge. These are also spaced so that you can drop the dogs through the holes in a MFT table to make a cutting station...there are specific dogs with a tapered end to make set up easy. I have the mk I square, which uses Allen head screws to secure it to the rail, a little less convenient but dead on accurate. I highly recommend it.

My Triton system has an adjustable angle square as well. They make a static 90 degree model and an adjustable model. It works great for my needs. Thanks for the great review!

I just want to thank you for this in depth video and comparison with different companies, this is my first track saw and looking for accessories for this Makita. Thank you

Unfortunately, no check about the reality of the squaring of them has been made: and it's the key of the quality of the cut! In fact, as I have the TSO, I can mention it's usable only for small lengths pieces: over 0,8 meter length you'll see the squaring fail Maybe except the Woodpecker model, all the other have no way to calibrate the squaring: so you can't adjust anything. When you buy one, the squaring should be good, but if it's not, there is nothing you can do to fix that.

There's a 75 dollar difference here in Canada so I just went with the insta rail square, works great!

I've got the Benchdogs UK square and it is really excellent! It does come in models that are compatible with Bosch/Mafell, but you do need to buy two versions to maintain compatibility with Festool/Makita/Triton as well. As I write, the TSO GR16 is currently available in the UK at £99 sterling. A real bargain IMHO, given that I previously owned the Triton - aka, the kinda square railsquare - which came in at around £35 about 4 years ago. I was in the market for the 'Clyde built' FC square, made right here in Bonnie Scotland, but it was always out of stock, and I just gave up on it, opting instead for the Benchdogs version. I'm not experiencing any retail regret.

It looks like the InstaRail also doesn't have the notches for using a rail clamp like the GRS or Bench Dog. I recently purchased the TSO and I love it.

I have actually never used that one

I have had the Woodpeckers one for quite some time, but, to be honest, I really wish I was aware of the TSO when I purchased it. My biggest gripe with the Woodpeckers square is that on more than one occasion, I have found the "pointer" that indexes the angle isn't completely seated in the notch (not out of the notch, but not completely tight, even with the locking knob tightened) and the result is slightly out of square. I also think the weight makes it awkward and moving it around lends itself to bumping the index pointer slightly out of square. And the reality is that, besides when I first got it and was trying it out on scrap, I've never made anything but a 90 degree cut with it.

@bentswoodworking

3 жыл бұрын

That a good point on the tooth being fully seated. I never thought about that

A few points, the TSO is now rebadged and called Festool Rail Square in Europe. I had both the TSO and the Benchdogs squares. I found I was always reaching for the Benchdogs mark 1 version, it felt better and produced more accurate cuts for me. Also over here in the UK the Benchdogs is way cheaper then the TSO. The additional pieces for the Benchdogs make it really useful and it will soon have a parallel guide to go with it which again will be way cheaper than the TSO over here.

Yes, it was expensive, but I prefer it to the Benchdog Mk II Mafell/Bosch square I have. It locks onto the rail more securely and I think is ever so slightly more accurate. And lighter too!

I started with the InstaRail and for whatever reason would not give me a square cut. Checked the machined features and they are square to the reference edge... but when attached to the rail would not clamp square. Replaced with the TSO w/ parallel guides and have never been happier. Can't keep a tool around if I can't trust it!

TSO makes great stuff

I chose a track saw square from Banggood website because it is half as wide. I would have purchased the TSO product but it is ~6" wide and when attached to the end of a 1400mm track, the track does not extend past the edge of a 4' panel by more than an inch or so. The Banggood product is ~3" wide so the 1400 track extends ~4" past the end of a 4' panel. It works well on my Makita or Festool tracks and is about $30. I wish the standard track length was 1500mm, and if it was I would have gone with the TSO square.

Nice comparison. They look well made but wow they are expensive for what they are

Might need an update to this. Festool makes an adjustable square now and a couple more companies

Hey Jason, how thick is the TSO on the part that rests under the track? I got some fastcap track hangers (the green and black ones you have covered for walls and garage doors?), I am wondering whether I can keep the TSO GRS 16 PE V2 attached to my 55 inch track while mounted to the wall (I mounted the hangers green latch down, so the tracks do not rest on the splinter guard). I am hoping there will be enough clearance in the gap behind the track to keep it assembled while on the wall! Edit: Also, the woodpeckers is surprisingly inexpensive for their usual pricing scheme + its extra features in that big mitre plate. I went with the TSO though, I like their system - got the MTR-X for my MFT3 (only have one for now), the replacement hinge brackets they sell with the metal slop stop, the guide rail square is on the way & I got the Bigfoot on the way with that as well. I also ordered their ultimate dogs kit to get started with chamfer dogs + the chamfer bit/reamer you suggested to have at hand. I will be getting their parallel guides next.

Good job. I just bought the TSO. Festool sells what looks like a clone of the TSO in Australia. Until recently, the TSO was cheaper from Axminster in UK even with shipping. I thought i saw a Festool adjustable square, maybe in the accessory kit.

Great vid. MK2 isn't a track saw make. It means Mark 2. Which is like you in America saying version 2.0. Benchdogs UK do make a second rail square which is compatible with Bosch and Mafell track saws. Which I think may be because of differences in the tracks.

I noticed that the Benchdogs UK pushes with two cams instead pulling with a clamp. This turns the much shorter than full width T-slot rail into the reference surface. Will this compromise its accuracy? As several have stated, the Benchdogs UK still seems to have excellent 90 deg. accuracy so maybe this is not an issue.

I've set aside some funds to buy myself a Makita tracksaw setup for my birthday this year. I know a TSO track square would be super efficient, but I'm curious on your thoughts of how much more efficient than just using a Woodpeckers 1812 or 2616. Being a hobbiest, my time/cost/benefit calculation is slightly different and having something that is multifunctional, like a large accurate try square, is appealing. Of course, I completely understand the value of tools that increase accuracy and decrease frustration.

There are many ways to do things. Don’t feel pressured to buy something if something else is working well for you. To me, this is easier because it connects to the track so I don’t have to use two different tools separately. Do you “need” it, no. Is it nice to have, yes.

I own the GRS16 and I can honestly say it’s probably the best piece of tool I ever bought . Works pretty great with my Makita track saw and Festool rail. Btw. I own a few Festool tools but I’m jealous of that stack behind you. 😂

Festool does not sell their version in the US , but does appear to sell it everywhere else. There is a build series on KZread done by trainer Brent where he is breaking down plywood and when needs to do some 90degree cuts he uses a woodpeckers 1281 square instead of a rail square. Woodpeckers seems to be the only 3rd party brand allowed in Festool US marketing. I’m surprised he didn’t at least use a TSO since they are essentially a sub-contractor.

I believe there are some overseas and may be available here. Otherwise, I couldn’t really say. I don’t have any experience with the dewalt.

I have a Woodpeckers track square and have used it exclusively for breaking down plywood. Mine does NOT make any angle cuts, it is a 90 degree model only. It is presumably lighter than the angle version but I do not make angle cuts from a break down perspective. I would make those after breaking everything down and do so on my Accurate Angle sled. I do really like the TSO guide rails and for that wish I had bought the TSO angle guide. I have not purchased guide rails yet but hard to justify the cost of the Woodpeckers when TSO is such a great option. Anyone want to trade a TSO square for my Woodpeckers square?
