FS 1400 55" Guide Rail for Plunge Routers with Splinterguard is designed for guidance of plunge saws or routers, so the tool tracks along a fixed path instead of wandering across the workpiece. This control supports straight ripping, trimming, or routing where consistent line tracking is critical. The guide rail pairs with plunge saws or routers, giving one reference system across common cutting and routing tasks. The rail length is identified as FS1400/2 55', providing a long running surface that spans cabinet parts, panels, and similar work. Festool branding and the 491498 part number tie this guide rail to the Festool system, which helps match it to compatible power tools from the same line. The splinterguard feature in the name signals that the rail is built to work with a cut path that supports edge quality during guided cuts.
The guide rail is identified as FS1400/2 55', indicating a rail length suited to long cuts or routing passes across panels and similar stock. For guidance of plunge saws or routers, the rail acts as the straightedge that the tool base rides against, which simplifies aligning the cut or routing path to layout marks. Quick setup with non-slipping bottom strips means the rail is designed to stay put once positioned, so the operator can focus on controlling the tool instead of managing movement at the rail. Repeat cuts with limit stops use mechanical reference points on the rail, which makes it straightforward to return to the same cutting position when producing multiple identical parts. The cut mark matching the cut line with the zero clearance guide rail supports accurate placement of the rail relative to the desired finished edge.
For guidance of plunge saws or routers, the FS 1400 rail serves as the primary straight reference when processing sheet goods, cabinet components, or similar workpieces. The FS1400/2 55' designation indicates a length that can bridge typical cabinet sides, shelves, and panel sections in one pass, which reduces the need to reposition a shorter guide. System integration, same rail for saw, router or jigsaw, positions this rail as a central component in a Festool setup where multiple tools work off the same reference track. When the cut mark matches the cut line with the zero clearance guide rail, the rail edge becomes a predictable reference for where the blade or bit will travel, which supports layout-driven work such as fitting doors, panels, or trim to scribed lines. The presence of a splinterguard in the product name works with this zero clearance concept to support edge quality along the guided cut location. Non-slipping bottom strips keep the rail positioned across the workpiece while the user guides a plunge saw, router, or jigsaw along the track.
Cut mark matches the cut line with the zero clearance guide rail, so once the operator knows how the rail edge relates to the tool kerf or bit path, that relationship can be reused across multiple setups without constant re-measuring. Repeat cuts with limit stops then add fixed reference positions along the rail, which supports making the same dimension multiple times for projects like cabinet runs or uniform shelving. Quick setup with non-slipping bottom strips reduces the need for complex clamping in many situations, which can shorten setup time between cuts and help keep the rail from creeping under tool pressure. For guidance of plunge saws or routers, the straightness of the rail becomes the controlling factor for the cut path, which is useful whenever a project calls for straight edges across longer distances than a standard saw base or router fence can span. System integration, same rail for saw, router or jigsaw, also means once a layout is established on the workpiece, different Festool tools can follow that same guided path for cutting, trimming, or routing operations tied to a single reference line.
The FS 1400 55" Guide Rail for Plunge Routers with Splinterguard is for guidance of plunge saws or routers, and system integration allows the same rail for saw, router or jigsaw in the Festool line.
The FS 1400 guide rail is described as a zero clearance guide rail where the cut mark matches the cut line, so the rail edge visually indicates the actual path of the blade or bit.
The guide rail has quick setup with non-slipping bottom strips, so the rail is designed to grip the work surface and resist sliding while the saw, router, or jigsaw runs along it.
The rail is identified as FS1400/2 55', which associates it with a 55" guide length that spans many cabinet parts, shelves, and similar panel dimensions in one guided pass.
The FS 1400 guide rail supports repeat cuts with limit stops, allowing fixed reference positions along the rail so repeated dimensions can be produced consistently on multiple workpieces.
System integration, same rail for saw, router or jigsaw, lets the FS 1400 guide rail serve as a shared track so multiple Festool tools follow the same established layout line.
The FS 1400 55" Guide Rail for Plunge Routers with Splinterguard is described as for guidance of plunge saws or routers, supporting straight and repeatable tool movement across workpieces. With FS1400/2 55' length, the rail spans many cabinet and panel tasks in a single guided pass. Quick setup with non-slipping bottom strips and the cut mark matching the cut line with the zero clearance guide rail are designed to streamline layout and cutting steps. System integration using the same rail for saw, router or jigsaw makes this rail a central track in a Festool-focused workflow when consistent guided cuts are required.
