I'm glad I found this video. Thanks. The Guide System didn't come with any instructions and those screws used in the channel extensions had me stumped.

After watching your various videos on these guides I finally ordered a pair from Banggood, plus a rail square. Wish I'd done it sooner as I've just finished cutting up 8 sheets of MDF of varying thicknesses for some fitted wardrobes. These would have made that whole process a lot quicker & more accurate. I only paid £56 for the parallel guides. Hard not to buy them, despite some moral reluctance. I've also been following yours & Peter Millard's videos on wardrobe construction. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video very helpful. You can also use the guide rail connectors on the top t slot opposite the guide stops saving you having to flip it over to connect.

PSA- they do have an imperial version too, for anyone that's looking for imperial. Thanks for these demonstrations, especially for explaing how to calibrate them. I'm look forward to seeing a test of the rail square you already have and the new woodpeckers copy. Of course they started offering that new rail square right after I got my XL instasquare.

Thanks Ryan for the set up guide. Came to put mine together today and found it difficult to fit the guide onto a Festool track. I had to fit insulation tape between the head of the parallel guide and the bar that fits to the rail to stop it binding on the track. However, not an issue and really pleased with them.
@glenlown63742 жыл бұрын
I had issues with mine binding too, as soon as I left all the screws loose and started by tightening the alloy bar in the channel first, then the head to that bar, everything worked perfectly.

Same here. Doesn’t fit a Festool track 😠
@glenlown63742 жыл бұрын
Mine is the festool, I found that you need to put it on the track loosely at first, then tighten the long bar into the track to set it in position, then tighten the red top section to the bar. Once you’ve done this the bar screws can be loosened and it slides perfectly.

Hi Ryan, the head and the bar that goes in the festool track saw is binding so I have to unscrew all for screw to get it moving! This lead to mess up the calibration. Do you know if bangood have upgraded the 2 small grey aluminium bars?

@DarrylBenson Жыл бұрын
Great video. Unfortunately my track doesn't have the slot on the top as you show in video. It is on the underside. I believe I can modify the tracks by drilling through the track to allow the parallel bar head screws to attach bar underneath. I will not be able to slide the bars, but with a few groups of holes I each track, it should be good enough. Keep up the good work.

Just checked and my parkside rails don't have the t-slot track in them so this system won't fit. A bit bummed. I might have to upgrade my tracksaw if I want something like this. Don't know if my saw could be compatible with these festtool or makita rails.

I guess, if you use a guide rail square, you can make do with only one of these :-)
@dreshofo Жыл бұрын
Hi, since this video is also advertised on the Banggood site. The guides do NOT fit on a Festtool track! Also not the improved version. Did get mine on the weekend. What you can do is put some 1mm shims between the red head and the bar that slides in the track. And also the precision is not that perfect. If you calibrate the guides it depends, what position the stops of rhe stop block have (the ones you have to put on the triangles). If you raise the stopblock (like shown in your video) and calibrate the guides the results differ from lowering the bar of the stop blocks. In my case the plastic head of the metal bar will now not touch the Square any more.

The quality is so great apart from one issue which is the tolerances on the raised lip on the part that attaches to both the track and first straight piece are too big in order for it to sit completely flush in the groove although once cranked down tight it won’t effect how the guides work but it’s a shame as the rest of it is so good. Great video though as I have to admit I was scratching my head initially 😂 Below link is someone else posting about the issue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ7Pqp5oatV2rdk
