Precision Dogs Parallel Guides or Seneca Parallel Guide

[member=59331]TSO Products[/member] Do you know if are your guiderails are compatible with the Insta RailSquare?

[member=70376]Mtpisgah[/member] - I interpret your question to apply to TSO's Parallel Guide (Pat.Pend)
The Insta Rail tool is sold to unsuspecting woodworkers without disclosing that it is a patent infringing imitation of TSO's original GRS-16 Guide Rail Square. It's reduced material thickness and reduced machining material removal make it seem improbable to function as a compatible part with our System components.

If you were taken in by the Insta Rail, we have a solution for you which functions independent of a guide rail square.
Reach out to me directly this weekend and I'll explain [smile].

I have both GSRs and the full TPG-50 package.  As I use them now I wish I had been able to buy just the 30s, both left and right, only.  I leave them attached to my GSRs and the others have not come out of the package yet.  So far I haven't found the need, but maybe some day.

Hi, so I've searched and many people said between the Seneca, Woodpecker, and Precision Dogs parallel systems, they all get the job done. But I have seen the Precision Dogs have been updated to include side screws so there is less wiggle room for the incra tracks. Also, looks like the Seneca guide complete system is on sale for $225, down from the original $289. So with those two little caveats, what do some of you think is the better option? Has anyone used the updated Precision Dogs? Either way I think I would be updating the incra track for a longer one but for $165 you can get the Precision Dogs with a 24" track. I've completely ruled out Woodpecker based on the price tag and positive comments on the other two. Thanks for the suggestions/comments

Hi [member=73106]Montag[/member] ! Thank you for considering our Precision Parallel Guides.
Our parallel guides will work as implied in their name. With them you will be able to rip sheet goods and other form material to the width set by our specially designed stop aka Length adapters.

-Length adapters’ sides have a chamfered edge which makes reading scale easy without parallax.

-The scales are adjustable, but they sit in the T-track slot firmly. If you want them to be permanent, add a piece of scotch tape under it and they will not move at all.

-All T-nuts in our system are tapered with a large surface compared to square buts which ensures a firm grip to your Guide rail and Incra T-track.

-By design our parallel guides sit on top of the surface to be ripped so there is no issue of weight distribution causing your guide rail (Festool, Makita, or Triton) to flip. Also the sides of material you work with can be square to your parallels but don’t have to be. This comes in handy when you are ripping non square shaped forms.

-Another plus is that 100% of your guide rail length can be usable for your length of cut.

-If you will require a wider ripping capacity (with 24” tracks you will get roughly a 31” ripping capacity) you can get 36” or 48” tracks which will result in 43” and 55” ripping capacity respectively for under $50 a pair shipped.

Following calibration and setup described in detail with pictures in Precision Parallel Guides Manual will guarantee that you will get parallel cuts or your money back. It means that you can get our guides and play with them for 2 weeks as much as you want. If you will not be satisfied for some reason you can return them for a full refund (no restocking fee whatsoever). We don’t expect them to be returned in pristine condition, so do not worry if it will get scratched or the surface will not be pristine.

Contact me if you have any questions via email info@precisiondogs.us or call me at (213)290-5076.   

Good luck on your search!
