Festool 495207 Guide Rail Splinter Guard, 55 in. an essential solution for achieving straight, splinter- cuts in a variety of woodworking applications. Designed to fit Festool FS Guide Rails, which come in lengths ranging from 32 inches to 197 inches, this splinter guard ensures alignment with your cut line while protecting against tear-out on cuts made both with and across the grain. Over time and with heavy use, the splinter guard may need to maintain optimal performance. This is particularly important when switching between different kerfed blades or using the guide rail with multiple saws, as a fresh splinter guard can be precisely matched to the saw blade, saving valuable setup time. The clear design of the splinter guard enhances the visibility of the cut line, allowing for greater accuracy. By periodically replacing your splinter guard, you can keep your cuts ly splinter- and extend the life of your guide rail system. Model Number: 495207
