Festool FS 2400/2 Guide Rail 2400mm
At a Glance: 2400mm precision guide rail for straight, splinter-free cuts and accurate routing grooves
The Festool FS 2400/2 guide rail is the original precision rail system designed to deliver beautifully straight, controlled cuts with Festool saws and other compatible machines. At 2400mm long, it is ideal for longer sheet materials, boards, doors and panels where accuracy matters from start to finish. With smooth-running slideway lining, splinter guard, grippy backing strips and accessory grooves, this guide rail turns demanding cutting and routing work into a cleaner, safer and more repeatable process.
Festool invented and perfected the guide rail system for precision cutting and grooving. The FS 2400/2 helps guide compatible tools safely and accurately, while the splinter guard supports clean cut edges directly along the scribe line.

Pro Tips
- Before the first cut, trim the splinter guard with the saw you will use most often so it matches the exact cut line.
- Use Festool guide rail clamps when working on slippery surfaces, narrow material or vertical applications.
- Keep the rail clean and free of sawdust underneath to prevent movement and protect finished surfaces.
- For the cleanest edge, place the splinter guard side directly on the finished cut line.
- Use a guide rail deflector to stop the suction hose and cable from catching on the end of the rail.
How to Use
- Mark the required cut line clearly on the workpiece.
- Place the FS 2400/2 guide rail on the workpiece with the splinter guard aligned to the cut line.
- Check that the backing strips are clean and that the rail is sitting flat on the material.
- Secure the rail with compatible clamps if the material is smooth, narrow or difficult to hold.
- Place the compatible Festool saw, router or machine onto the guide rail.
- Adjust the machine guidance jaws if required to remove play on the rail.
- Start the machine and guide it smoothly along the rail without forcing the cut.
- Allow the machine to stop fully before lifting it from the guide rail.
