Festool Splinterguard 55 Clear is a clear adhesive-backed strip designed for the guide rail edge on Festool tools, so it supports maintaining splinter free cut quality along the full 55 inch length of the rail. The clear material keeps the cut line visible while the splinter guard works at the edge, which helps when following layout marks on finished panels or trim. Because it is part of the Routers and Accessories product class, this splinter guard is intended to work in a routed and power tool workflow where a consistent edge is critical. The dedicated Festool design ties directly to the guide rail edge, so the strip works as a stable reference during repeated passes on the same rail. The 55 inch length matches long guide rail runs, which supports work on wide cabinet parts and larger sheet goods without interrupted protection along the cut.
The adhesive backed construction in the Festool Splinterguard, 55 inch, Clear allows the strip to bond along the guide rail edge, so installers can create a continuous splinter guard surface in one step. Because the strip is dedicated to the guide rail edge, the mounting line follows the full 55 inch rail length, which supports straight, repeatable reference during cutting or routing with Festool equipment. The clear material helps the installer see the edge and any layout lines under the strip while attaching it, which supports placing the guard accurately along the rail profile. As a component in the Routers and Accessories class, this mounting approach suits power tool workflows where the rail is set once and then reused for multiple passes on cabinet parts or sheet stock.
The SAP description "splinter guard for guide rail edge, 55" defines this Festool Splinterguard as a strip meant to run the length of a 55 inch guide rail edge, so it supports operations where the rail directs the cut from end to end. On long rails, a single 55 inch clear strip lets the installer maintain splinter free cut quality over wide panels, doors, and carcass sides without transitions that can mark the surface. The clear Festool material keeps the user in view of the work edge, which helps when aligning the rail to veneer lines, cabinet reveals, or scribe marks. Being part of the Routers and Accessories class, this strip fits into a workflow where the same rail may be used with routers and other Festool power tools, so one mounted guard can serve multiple power-cutting steps on the same rail.
The web description states that the Festool Splinterguard, 55 inch, Clear is adhesive backed to maintain splinter free cut quality, so the strip actively helps the cutter work against a supported edge instead of a raw panel surface. Once pressed into place along the guide rail edge, the adhesive helps keep the guard from shifting during repeated passes, which supports consistent edge finish from the first cut through later cuts on similar stock. On long 55 inch rails, a continuously bonded strip also reduces the chance of gaps forming between the tool path and the support edge, which can matter on finished cabinet components and visible trim. The clear construction lets the operator verify that the guard is seated along the entire edge of the rail while the adhesive is fresh, which supports a uniform bond before the rail goes back into regular service on the shop floor or jobsite.
