PaulMarcel said:DeWalt makes a T-square (90*-only)T-square (90*-only) accessory for its track. It fits the Festool track as well. Mine is pretty much dead on. There's a screw to kill the play in the slot; what little mine is off is due to the play because I remove it from the track often. If I have a series of crosscuts, I tighten it up and it squares right away. It is machined from one piece and is easily found for $30. If you were to dedicate a track... you'd be set even if it took a little shimming under the lock.
I have one of these and posted about it earlier. I had to disassemble mine repeatedly and file some of the components to get it square to the Guide Rail. I checked it with multiple Guide Rails to confirm it was the DeWalt T-Square and not the Guide Rail I first chose. I used a Woodpecker 18" precision Carpenter 45-45-90 Triangle as a Square to confirm I had tuned the DeWalt T-Square to 90 degrees. But if I am wanting to be as confident as possible, I use that Woodpeckers Right Triangle as my reference. It's great for confirming that my MFT fence and Guide Rail are square, too.
If you are willing to pay ~US$100 for a dedicated T-Square device for your Guide Rail, you could make one using the Woodpecker Carpenter Triangle and attaching it to your Guide Rail.
