Festool FS5000 Guide Rail 5000mm

The Festool FS5000 Guide Rail is a 5000mm precision guide rail designed to deliver perfectly straight, accurate cuts and grooves when used with compatible Festool power tools.

Invented by Festool and refined over decades since 1964, the guide rail system has become the benchmark for straight-edge guidance in professional woodworking and joinery. The 5000mm length makes it particularly suited to large panel work, full-sheet cutting, and long rip cuts where a shorter rail would fall short.

The rail features a slideway lining for smooth, consistent machine travel, a backing layer that grips the workpiece surface to prevent movement on even smooth materials, and an integrated splinter guard that sits directly on the scribe line. This ensures clean, splinter-free edges on every cut, including angled passes, without damaging the workpiece surface beneath.

An additional accessory groove runs the length of the rail, enabling use with screw clamps, lever clamps, and router guide stops for precision groove work. Zero-play guidance allows the circular saw's guide jaws to be adjusted to fit the rail without tools, keeping set-up time to a minimum on site.

Features and Benefits:
• Zero-play guidance – guide jaws adjust to the rail without tools for quick, accurate set-up
• Integrated splinter guard – positioned directly on the scribe line for clean edges, even on angled cuts
• Non-slip backing layer – grips smooth surfaces securely to prevent the rail shifting during use
• Slideway lining – ensures smooth, consistent machine travel along the full length of the rail
• Accessory groove – compatible with screw clamps, lever clamps, and router guide stops
• Surface protection – backing layer prevents marking or damage to the workpiece beneath
