Festool FS-KS Combination Bevel for Guide Rails

At a Glance: Measure, transfer and accurately cut workpiece angles from 0° to 180° using a compatible Festool guide rail.

The Festool FS-KS combination bevel provides a fast and accurate way to measure an existing angle and transfer it directly to a Festool FS/2 or FS/2-KP guide rail. Instead of calculating the angle or measuring it separately with a protractor, the bevel can be positioned against a wall, corner or workpiece to capture the required setting. It then attaches to the guide rail through the accessory groove without tools, allowing the rail to be aligned precisely for the cut. Angles can also be set manually using the integrated scale. With an operating range from 0° to 180°, the FS-KS is an exceptionally useful accessory for interior finishing, exhibition stand construction, panel cutting and any project involving non-square components.

Capture the angle and transfer it straight to the cut

The FS-KS combines angle measurement and guide-rail alignment in one practical accessory. By transferring the workpiece angle directly to the rail, it reduces calculation errors and makes accurate angled panel cuts quicker to prepare.

Product highlights

Direct angle transfer: Captures an angle from a wall or workpiece and transfers it directly to the guide rail.
Wide 0-180° range: Accommodates acute, square and obtuse angle-cutting applications.
No separate protractor required: Eliminates unnecessary measuring and angle calculations.
Integrated angle scale: Allows a known angle to be selected directly on the combination bevel.
Tool-free installation: Attaches quickly through the guide rail's accessory groove.
Accurate panel positioning: Helps align the guide rail precisely before making the angled cut.
Versatile project use: Ideal for interior fitting, displays, cabinetry and panel construction.

Extra Information

The FS-KS is compatible with Festool FS/2 and FS/2-KP guide rails.
The guide rail, saw, clamps and workpiece are not included.
The accessory measures and transfers the angle; the compatible guide rail and saw perform the actual cut.
Check the measured angle against the workpiece before cutting valuable material.
Secure the guide rail and workpiece correctly to prevent movement during the cut.
Keep the scale, contact edges and guide-rail groove clean to maintain accurate positioning.

Pro Tips

Place the combination bevel firmly against both reference surfaces when capturing an existing corner angle.
Lock the setting before moving the bevel so that the measured angle cannot change during transfer.
Make a test cut on scrap material when matching an irregular wall, corner or existing component.
Use suitable guide-rail clamps when the rail cannot remain securely positioned through its grip strips alone.
Mark the waste side of the workpiece before cutting to prevent removing material from the wrong side of the line.
Check that the saw blade is suitable for the panel material and required finish quality.
For repeated cuts, confirm the angle periodically in case the bevel or rail has been disturbed.

How to Use

Inspect the FS-KS and compatible guide rail to ensure that their contact surfaces and accessory grooves are clean.
Place the combination bevel against the wall, corner or workpiece surfaces whose angle must be reproduced.
Adjust both arms until they contact the reference surfaces accurately.
Secure the bevel setting so that the captured angle cannot move.
Attach the FS-KS to the accessory groove of the compatible Festool guide rail without using tools.
Position the guide rail against the workpiece and transfer the captured angle to the intended cutting line.
Alternatively, set a known angle directly using the integrated scale.
Secure the workpiece and guide rail with suitable clamps where required.
Check the angle, cutting direction and waste side before starting the saw.
Guide the compatible saw smoothly along the rail to complete the angled cut.

Features

Combination bevel design: Measures an existing angle and assists with guide-rail positioning.
0-180° angular range: Supports a broad variety of angled cuts.
Graduated scale: Enables direct setting when the required angle is already known.
Guide-rail attachment: Connects to the accessory groove on compatible Festool guide rails.
Tool-free fitting: Installs and adjusts without additional assembly tools.
Festool system compatibility: Designed for FS/2 and FS/2-KP guide rails.

Benefits

Reduces measurement errors: Direct transfer avoids mistakes caused by reading, calculating and remarking an angle.
Saves setup time: The measured angle can be carried directly from the workpiece to the cutting guide.
Improves cutting accuracy: Precise guide-rail alignment helps the saw follow the required angle consistently.
Simplifies awkward fitting work: Existing walls and corners can be copied even when they are not perfectly square.
Expands guide-rail versatility: Adds convenient angular alignment to the Festool guide-rail system.

Application

Measuring angles directly from walls and workpieces.
Transferring measured angles to a guide rail.
Setting known angles using the integrated scale.
Producing angled panel cuts from 0° to 180°.
Interior fitting and finishing work.
Exhibition stand and display construction.
Cabinetmaking, furniture and panel installation.
Fitting components into non-square spaces.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection when completing the cutting operation.
Inspect the combination bevel, guide rail and saw before use and do not use damaged equipment.
Confirm that the FS-KS is securely attached and that the angle setting is locked before positioning the rail.
Support and secure the workpiece so that it cannot move, tilt or close on the saw blade.
Clamp the guide rail whenever the grip strips alone cannot prevent movement.
Keep hands clear of the saw blade, cutting path and underside of the workpiece.
Check the work area for concealed cables, pipes and fasteners before cutting installed materials.
Ensure that the blade has stopped completely before lifting the saw from the guide rail.
Remove the FS-KS from the guide rail before transport if it could catch on surrounding objects or become damaged.
Follow the operating and safety instructions supplied with the guide rail and cutting machine.
