Is there a Festool or aftermarket jig to slide into a guide rail so you can square it to the edge of the piece to be cut? I can probably make one of my own, but I wanted to check if there wasn't already one out there. It's really not a lot work to put a square up to the edge of a guide rail to square the cut. I'm always looking for an easier way.
 
Or with a 3mm allen key and 2 dogs, then you can square the rail to the Dogs. (or parallel the rial to the dogs).
 
Haven't used either of these, but just so you know they exist:

Also, not sure if you're familiar with the razor blade method of positioning the guide rail, but it works fantastically (just make sure your splinterguard isn't degraded).  It was one of the first things I learned about when I came to the FOG:

A piece of plywood, a pair of water closet bolts,fender washers and wing nuts has worked well for me.  I always have the hardware with me and the ply is easy to find.
