I used the TSO thin rip guides for the first time today. The proper stop collars don't appear to be for sale in the UK so I improvised a stop collar using screw electrical connections. I thought others might find this useful.

[member=76043]bobtskutter[/member] - your original post shows a resourceful but less than ideal work-around solution to the standard included Clamping Collars for the Parallel Guide System: Slotted Screws impinging directly on the Calibration Rod.
These TSO Clamping Collars include a custom Socket Head Cap Screw with a non-standard 3mm hex socket so that one (1) 3mm Hex Driver is sufficient to handle all adjustments on the Parallel Guide System.
Last but not least: TSO

Just to close this topic off...
I forwarded the post to Axminster tools and they ordered the stop collars for me. It's a special order over the phone.
