Festool FS 1400/2 BL 100 Years Limited Edition Blue Guide Rail

At a Glance: Limited-edition 1400mm guide rail in Festool's distinctive blue 100 Years design for precisely straight, clean and controlled cutting or routing.

Celebrate a century of Festool precision with the Festool FS 1400/2 BL 100 Years Limited Edition Guide Rail. Finished in a distinctive dark-blue anniversary design, this special-edition guide rail delivers the same professional accuracy and versatility that has made the Festool guide rail system an essential companion for plunge saws, circular saws and routers. Its precision-machined aluminium profile guides compatible tools smoothly along a perfectly straight path, while the integrated splinter guard aligns directly with the cutting line and helps prevent material tear-out. Non-slip backing strips provide dependable positioning while protecting the workpiece surface, and integrated grooves accommodate compatible clamps, connectors and guide-rail accessories. At 1400mm long, it is ideally sized for panel cutting, trimming doors, routing straight grooves and a wide range of workshop or installation applications.

Pro Tips

Before its first precision cut, allow the compatible saw blade to trim the splinter guard so that it represents the exact cutting edge.
Place the splinter guard directly against the cutting mark for fast and accurate rail positioning.
Use compatible clamps whenever the rail could shift, particularly on narrow, vertical or dusty workpieces.
Keep the slideway lining and underside backing strips clean to maintain smooth tool movement and dependable grip.
Support the complete length of the guide rail when storing or transporting it to prevent accidental bending.
Use a guide-rail bag to protect the special blue finish, splinter guard and aluminium profile during transport.
When joining two rails, align them carefully with compatible self-aligning connectors before tightening the fixing screws.
Check the tool's guide-jaw adjustment whenever changing between guide rails to maintain smooth, zero-play movement.

How to Use

Inspect the guide rail, splinter guard and backing strips for damage or contamination before use.
Mark the required cutting or routing line clearly on the workpiece.
Position the splinter-guard edge directly against the cutting marks.
Ensure the rail is fully supported and resting flat on the workpiece.
Secure the guide rail with compatible clamps where additional holding force is required.
Place the compatible saw or router onto the guide rail.
Adjust the tool's guide jaws to eliminate side-to-side movement while allowing it to slide freely.
Connect the appropriate dust-extraction equipment where applicable.
Start the tool and allow it to reach operating speed before contacting the workpiece.
Guide the machine smoothly along the rail without twisting or applying excessive sideways pressure.
Complete the cut or groove and allow the tool to stop fully before removing it from the rail.
Clean the guide rail and store it flat or in a suitable guide-rail bag after use.
