Parallel Guide System Systainer - Mafell / Bosch GKT FSN tracks

Excellent quality. Well thought out addition to the range.

Extremely high quality kit

The quality standards are insane. You immediately see what I mean when you unbox these. I'm really impressed. However, working with these is kind of cumbersome. Setting up takes a while. Increasing length by attaching more pieces takes time. And most importantly: You must have a rail that is long enough + setup the distance between the two guides. Systems for e.g. Festool seems to be less cumbersome and more versatile. I'd prefer a guid that's attached to the top, even though, that'd mean I have to remove it before making the cut. I'd also change the systainer inlay. It should pick up the first piece including stops to reduce setup time on the next usage. It's well made for shipping but does not feel optimized for day to day use. However, I kind of knew what I was buying into here because it's well described. There is also a video that clearly shows how this all works. Therefore, I still give 4/5 stars.

Exceptional piece of equipment

Initially, I was worried that it was off, turns out I had to replace my sacrificial rip-strip because I didn't tighten up the track saw previously sufficiently to prevent scewed cuts. I bought new rip-strip for my bosch track and re-adjusted it and it came out perfect. Calibration is quite important to do correctly.
