 How about modifying the guide rails so that the saw locks into it? This would be helpful when cutting angles , now the saws balance when cutting allows the saw to fall out of the guide. Somebody get to work on this. PLEASE

Thanks, Steve for the info. This added clip only functions at the beginning of the cut. I want the saw to stay on the guide rail till I remove it. This saw and guide rail cost more than $500. Makita was able to provide it on their saw . Which cost less than the Festool. This is the WISH LIST Category.

I don't mind holding down the sawbase when doing beveled cuts. (I wouldn't rely on the accuracy of the bevel with such a system anyway, I think it would lift the guiderail a bit during the cut).

But I would like a "locking guiderail" like the cross cut system for the mafell KSS saws.
