In this video I make a simple, cheap and accurate rail square for the entry-level plunge saw users whose rails often aren’t compatible with commercial offerings. Enjoy!

I made this square for my DeWalt and it works great. One mod I'd recommend is to overhang the top piece of ply by 12mm so it rests on the workpiece and prevents the square from tipping.

I tried the Triton rail square a while ago but couldn’t get it to be consistently square (well not without a lot of faffing about). Your extra piece of ply butted up against the back edge of the rail so simple and so clever.

Parkside owner here. I made something like you did, but used metric strews and nuts. The slide groove on rail is just a little narrower than a M8 nut (across flats) - about 0,5mm. I used an angle grinder on nuts :) to fit them inside the groove.

Exellent tip, Peter! Great and simple solution. And since I bought my Titan track saw as a returned and repaired product, the splinter guard is all out. I haven't prioritized fixing that just yet, as the saw has quite a lot of slack in the depth joint. This was pointed out by Tim at Timshowtomake. So, I am not certain I can get the desired accuracy out the Titan saw. Anyway, great video, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Goran. Yes, I saw what Tim posted - crazy amounts of play in that joint - and on both saws as well! Quality control on these later saws doesn’t seem as good as on the earlier ones, unfortunately. 🤔👍

Peter, I just ordered a new Makati track saw and your series on them has been exactly what I needed. I think I’ve seen ever track saw video on KZfaq and have a pretty good understanding of them but you filled in all the “blanks” plus a lot more.

Hi, Peter loved this idea of making a square for my track saw but I got too lazy to make it. The Detroit track saw that I bought is very similar to the Makita with the anti-tip lip & therefore similar to the Festool. Therefore this weekend I bought the FS-WA ($215Aud) thinking that I could modify it to fit, I even thought I may consider buying the 800mm Festool track ($155Aud). Well, I picked up the FS-WA as nobody had in stock well it fits in perfectly in my Track with no sanding or cutting off the underside groove.

Wow what a difference this tool makes! Initial set up wasn't too bad and the first few pieces I've cut have been bang on, measured across diagonals and also spot on. I'm actually confident now that I can slap the saw down and cut a perpendicular without hassle. Thanks!

This is perfect. I have the erbauer track saw, with 2 x 700mm tracks. I occasionally need to make cuts up to 1800mm long, so bought a pair of evoloution 700mm tracks (which are compatible). This would give me up to 2800mm of straight line, more than I can think I'd ever need. I can 'sacrifice' one of these 700mm tracks to permanently attach this project to, and still have 2100mm of other track.

I think I’ll have to make one of these for my new-to-me HKC55! Just got it slightly used from a local chap here in Los Angeles. Added a 1400 rail to the mix(already had the FSK420 rail) but it’s already proving to be a great investment, not to mention so much more mobile compared to a table saw. However, looking at the TSO rail square(the PE version), I’m kinda thinking “oy, this is getting a bit spendy!” So I come across your channel, and find this while enjoying morning pour over. So here’s a shoutout from sunny Los Angeles, and thanks for the next weekend project I’ll be tackling!

Before I saw this I made my own. Did not occur to me to use a piece of joiner bar. Just used two bolts with heads that slipped nicely into the track. There was a bit of slop, but I squared it to the rail and tightened the bolts and it's been fine. It's a spare rail and I just leave it on. I may add the second layer for extra security. And I may add two slots to allow for clamps below. So far it's worked a treat.
