Festool FS 1400/2-KP Guide Rail With Adhesive Pads 1400mm
At a Glance: 1400mm Festool guide rail with adhesive pad support for precise, straight cuts on floors, worktops and wall applications where clamping is difficult.
The Festool FS 1400/2-KP Guide Rail is a precision guide rail designed to deliver straight, clean and controlled cuts with compatible Festool saws, routers and guide rail accessories. This 1400mm version features cut-outs for Festool adhesive pads, allowing the rail to be secured on different surfaces without slipping, even when working horizontally on floors and work surfaces or vertically on walls. The integrated splinter guard helps reduce tear-out along the cut line, while the smooth slideway lining allows the machine to glide easily for accurate, repeatable results. Lightweight, robust and incredibly practical, this guide rail is a core Festool system accessory for installers, cabinetmakers, carpenters, shopfitters and serious woodworkers who want dependable accuracy on site or in the workshop.
The FS 1400/2-KP builds on the original Festool guide rail system with added adhesive pad functionality. This makes it especially useful where clamps cannot be used easily, such as finished surfaces, large boards, flooring, walls and worktops. Simply align the rail, secure it with the adhesive pads and enjoy controlled, straight cutting with excellent surface protection.
