Festool / Makita rail square DIY
can be made for any rail.When doing construction work, it's useful to be able to make fast straight board cuts in many situations, these cut's don't need to be furniture precise, but within a mm or so pr. Meter, is more than fine. This is where these rail squares are brilliant, no setup, just a pencil mark for the size and you can make a nice straight cut.
Decided I needed one of these for my allotment house and that it would be a fun project, to make a MaFe version.
This square can of course be made for any brand of rail, my rail saw is a Festool, but I also made a rail jig, for my Makita and even have both brands of routers, that run on the rails.This post is from the blog: https://www.lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/131888

Stay safe and wait with patience, for the vaccine, to bring back life as we knew it.Hope it can be to some inspiration, or even a straight cut.Best thoughts,MaFe
