Crosscutting 14" - 16" plywood rips for bookcases

[Woodhack97]

Hello,

So here's my issue:
I build a lot of bookcases and the like. Currently I rip my ply to width and then crosscut with TS55 and guide rail. I square a pencil line across the piece and clamp the rail to it and cut away. Thing is it's really slow and not always dead on. How are others processing parts for cabinets and bookcases? I'm crosscutting material that's between 12"-24" most of the time.

Thanks for your help,
Brian

You could buy or make a set of parallel guides or if you have the MFT and use the flag stop or qwas dogs.

Add a t-square attachment to the rail. Dewalt makes one that fits the Festool rails:
