Calibration Required
01 / DESIGN
Anchors into your bench. Not your guide rail.
Most parallel guide systems clamp to your track saw's guide rail, which means the calibration is only as accurate as the rail clamps and the guide rail's position. Dash-Board's Parallel Guides anchor directly into your bench top's 20mm holes or into Track Stars instead. The reference point is the bench, not the rail, and the bench doesn't move.
- Anchors into 20mm bench holes or Track Stars
- No clamping to your guide rail
- Traditional parallel guide calibration not required
- Works on either side of the guide rail
02 / DUAL-HEIGHT
Two ends. Two heights. One guide.
Each Parallel Guide has two different ends with different reference heights. Use the thin end under your guide rail for cutting dimensions narrower than the rail. Use the tall end for stacked material and for when Parallel Guides are on the right side of the blade.
- 6mm end slips under your guide rail for narrow cuts
- 29mm aluminum cap end raises reference height
- Cuts under 1" wide with no additional attachments
- Supports material as thin as ¼"
03 / RIP GAUGE PAIRING
Set stops on both sides of the blade.
Paired with the Rip Gauge, Dash-Board Parallel Guides simplify the process of getting parallel cuts. You use one standard to set both guides, rather than two scales to set two guides. Uniquely, Dash-Board Parallel Guides work on both sides of the blade. You can use the thin side underneath your guide rail for narrow cuts in material as thin as 1/4"/6.5mm. Use the tall end for wider pieces on either side of the guide rail.
- 29mm cap enables Rip Gauge dimension setting
- Same kerf-corrected dimension on both sides of the blade
- Replaces individual guide calibration with a single reference
- Verified upgrade path from TSO and similar traditional designs
04 / SYSTEM
The piece that makes rips repeatable.
The Parallel Guide is the stop. The Rip Gauge sets the standard. The Track Stars are the platform that lets you rip past the bench edge. Together, this is the workflow Dash-Board owners use to retire their table saws. Mount the guides in your bench top for narrower rips. Mount them in Track Stars for the widest rips. Same guides, same workflow, no calibration.
- Mounts in bench top for narrow to medium rips
- Mounts in Track Stars for wider rips
- Built from carbon fiber and aluminum for stiffness and weight
- The system piece that unlocks the rip workflow

Know Before You Buy
Dash-Board Parallel Guides anchor into your bench top's 20mm holes or Track Stars rather than clamping to your guide rail. This eliminates the need to independently calibrate left and right guides. Each guide also has two reference heights (6mm and 29mm) for different cutting situations.
Dash-Board Parallel Guides cut material narrower than 1" wide and as thin as ¼" thick with no additional attachments. The 6mm slip-under end registers underneath your guide rail for narrow cuts most other systems can't handle without optional accessories.
You do not strictly need the Rip Gauge, but pairing them is the workflow most owners build out. The Rip Gauge provides a single reference for setting both guides to the same kerf-corrected dimension, replacing the individual calibration step other systems require.
Dash-Board Parallel Guides are compatible with all workbenches that have a 20mm hole grid, including the Dash-Board bench, ShortCut bench, Festool MFT3 and 1080, Benchdogs Ultra MFT, TrackTubes, and DIY MFT-style benches. They anchor using the included ExpanDogs with no drilling required.
The set includes 2 Parallel Guides, 2 aluminum caps, and 4 ExpanDogs. The guides are built from carbon fiber with aluminum hardware, measuring 15.625" long by 1.5" wide. Recommended pairings include the Rip Gauge and Track Stars.
