mstack said:Are there any limitations with either system as far as the minimum material thickness it can be set to cut? In other words; do they work with 1/4" sheet goods or do I have to elevate the workpiece?
GarryMartin said:I have the Seneca guides and find them to be superb. I don't own the Festool parallel guides but I have tried them. I guess the key difference has been mentioned in that the Seneca guides sit on the material, and the Festool guides hang off at either end (unless you modify them in some way).
I use a Woodpecker rule and stop to set them - a trick I picked up here on the FOG. Very accurate results.
Set the rule stop, flip the rule over, butt the stop against the strip of the rail, and then push the Seneca stops to the end of the rule.

Woodpeckers does periodically reintroduce One Time Tools. You can also go on their website and request a notification to get an email when a tool might reappear. No promises that it ever will be reintroduced, but if enough people expressed interest, that couldn't hurt. I own the Seneca guides and like them, but I'm a big fan of Woodpeckers products and like the design of theirs.mstack said:I guess it doesn't matter how the Woodpeckers guide is reviewed. It was a one time tool and I can't find anyone selling it on the net.
Leaning toward the Seneca guide.
