I'd love to see a comparison between the Repeat Stop for the Rail Square Mk 2 you've just presented and the new angle stop with extension FS-WA and FS-WA-VL. If you don't press on the variable angles the FS-WA can give you a comparison should be fair.
I am sorry but I cannot click the like button because google has removed it. I checked on line and was told that if I like too many videos the algorithm decides that I am acting like a bot and removes the like button for a period. I find this as being stupid because I only watch you UA-cam videos that I like so the possibility that I will like the video is more than not liking it.
The algorithm doesnt know its more likely you will like it, than not like it. It works on the assumption a bot is liking it, to get higher on the youtube ladder. (A bit like getting friends to write reviews on you!)
On the home page click your name in the top right hand corner. Go to settings. History and privacy. Remove watch history. Remove search history.
By doing this you confuse the algorithm as it cant find where you have been. Problem solved.
If you subscribe to the channel it wont be effected by the deletes.
Exactly what a bot would say.. 🤨😜
@@Grrla_ exactly what a troll would say!
Levelling knobs idea is great for narrow cuts. Finding suitable scrap material for rail support is often difficult.
great video - after a first (an very late) view it´s hard for me to decide (does it matter that I own a Festool FS-WA already?). Right now, I need to produce repeatable cuts, say shorten 40 x 40 cm pieces to 38 * 40 cm and apply a 45° cuts on both sides (building small boxes for the kids´ toys) - but every project comes with new use cases...
thanks for this video, it helped me chose the benchdog, while i was contemplating the TSO i just found hard to justify the price of TSO when after buying the parallel guides you still need to plunge another 120 for the rail attachments and extensions and systainer and... you end up paying like over $500 which i think is quite ludicrous
Hi, just subscribed. if repeat cut can do 42 inch wide. and if my requirement is to cut parallel and square up to 42 inch, i dont need parallel guide?, is that right, please advise. i assume parallel guide can do narrow cut ... but repat guide cant do narrow cut.. apart from this is there a difference. please
Oh a new video, a nice surprise :)
Right, I've been playing with the parallel guides in PG mode. Every cut I made, the rail shifted slightly, possibly because the vacuum hose snagged on the guide as it was sticking out.
I think I'm going to have to put a hook on the shed ceiling to suspend the hose from.
In the meantime, I might try using the track with guides fitted on the patio sans vacuum, and tidy up afterwards. I'll have to wait til my neighbour takes their washing in off the line, just in case.
After following many of your videos, probably all by now, I've gone with the railsquare with repeat stop with your lttle discount. Its just been delivered today but I need to wait for 5/8ths (better half) to pop out to avoid the "how much was that?". I've only recently started out in woodworking since school 40 years ago, your videos have been a fantastic help to me. Cheers.
Thank you! 🙌👍
Thanks Peter for another great video . Would you consider a track saw video on toeing the rear of the blade outward away from the freshly cut surface. I openly admit I've used a track saw regular but was unaware of this feature. Typical guy not reading the instructions !
It's Friday, its Friday!!!
Hello hello, hello Peter.
Dam fine idea. Combines many of the great features of the other systems out there.
I have the parallel guides and I'm not a huge fan. The stops will slide with a little force regardless of how tight you have the two knobs. So you'll have it all set to the right length and then slide them to your piece of wood and the stops with slide a couple of mm.
I have the festool square and repeat stop and find it much better as the angle can also be changed not just 90 degrees.
The BG team are constantly improving and innovating. 👍🏻
My MKI square has been excellent. So easy to use and accurate.
5:54 Literally, just received mine - instead of a nice and reliable metal plate with the clearly visible pointy arrow like yours, now Benchdogs sends some crappy, 3mm thick acrylic plate with paint marks that peel off under the nail. Very disappointed.
I just used your affiliate code. 😊 Hopefully these will solve some of my accuracy / repeatability / efficiency shortcomings!
I bought the rail square repeat stop over the summer and I have to say I absolutely love it. I work with solid hardwood mostly but I do use sheet goods a lot as well and it's proved invaluable. Highly recommend it.
Thanks! 👍
Quick question, how do you get small cuts on lumber? Let’s say I want 1cm~2cm wide pieces to go in a peel, chopping board. Or is that repeat stop with the square won’t work in this situation. Trying to figure out how to get narrow cuts parallel with a track saw and what I need to do that, specifically for a Bosch track.
So that’s how you calibrate them 🤦♂️ I don’t think mine came with those instructions so been struggling to dial them in! Great video 😊
Thanks for the update.
Thanks again!
Bought the repeat stop for my square as soon as I had watched this video - first use today making a bookshelf and its fantastic, has assuaged my thirst for an MFT. At least for now...
I’m a fan of Benchdogs kit, I have the square and the parallel guides, think I will investigate these new additions and replay your vid a few times ☺️ thanks for posting. 👍🏻
Gotta love those bloopers 😂 you come across so smooth but I guess it’s practice practice practice, thanks for all your splendid advice
Thanks for pointing out what the length options are for the parallel guides. I went with the longer sections when I ordered mine several months ago and of course they don't fit in my storage solution (however, the shipping tube is currently working fine for this)
This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing
umm, ok, but after calibration, during normal usage, what do you do to accurately set both guides... just eyeballing it? 🤔
I'm just asking if maybe you already have some trick 😁
Setting a mark against a scale is hardly eyeballing it - it’s how most fences are set. 🤷♂️👍
Great video. What kind of Splinter guard do you use one your guide rail. I think the ones which are sold by festool are white.
Thanks! I like the Makita ones - just prefer the black rubber one. 👍
Great product Peter love the bloopers at the end to mate
Enjoy all your videos. Not anywhere near getting into plunge/track saws yet. Good info for down the road. Thanks. Take care & stay safe.
I just bought ts 55 feq after years of thinking I didn't need one. Don't wait, I regret not getting long ago. Unless I have to do some kind of joinery, rabbets, tenon etc... I haven't even touched the table saw or radial arm.
I think I'm the only person in the world that really doesn't rate the Bench Dogs stuff. i keep buying and trying bits, but just find it annoting, fidly, and generally don't like it.
If you wanted a product more suited to your needs, you really need to be feeding that back to benchdogs - they’re generally very receptive to comments and suggestions - and I’d you’ve found a better product then I’m sure we’d all live to hear about it. 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Yeah, my comment wasn't particularly helpful. Apologies.
Hi Peter. Thanks for ALL the content. Quick question on this one; I have a festool rail square as I picked it up on sale. It looks like it has the same/similarly located threaded holes. Would the 10mm tolerance mean that I might be able to use the BD repeat stop with it? It’s something I think I’d find super-useful.
Don’t know tbh. The Festool square is a repainted TSO square, you might be able to get the spec from them? 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop thanks!
You mentioned there are better ways to get narrow cuts than using narrow cut adaptors with parallel guides.
Do you have a video that shows this? This would be extremely useful as a new tracksaw user to help justify what to purchase.
The Strawbyte waste side jigs - bit.ly/Strawbyte_jigs - are my preference. I’ve used them a lot, most complete explanation was in the ‘loose-tenon jig like no other’ video [453] 👍

Thanks Peter! I currently am working on making a 24"x48" MFT table, and was planning to buy the Stanton V2 Dog Locks after watching your video called Square Cuts: MFT or Rail Square. It seems like tall dogs with these are the way to go over rail dogs.
The question I have is I ordered parallel guides and now I am almost regretting it, and wondering if this is not a necessary piece of kit if I have a 24"x48" mft table ... would love your thoughts!
Also, your videos are great it's been my go to resource for anything tracksaw related.
👍
Good review.
Would be good to see a demo of the Bosch/Mafell variant because they look a bit less useful than the Festool type. That T slot on the Festool rail was a good idea from what I've seen and I'm a Bosch/Mafell fan.
Yes, never had hands on with the Bosch/Mafell ones - I think Stu at BuschBaschBosch might have though? 👍
I've had a look at them and from what I can see you have to put the stops on the outer edge of the board you're cutting because the fixing to the rail are underneath which means the rail would not sit flat if they were within the board width. Also you'd have to keep repositioning them if the boards were different widths to the one you set it on. Hence I didn't buy them. Bought the square, that's fine. I'll have a look at that link. Hopefully I'm wrong?
@@10MinuteWorkshop If you mean the parallel guides then no. BD haven't offered or sent anything for review for a long time. 🤷♂️ Parallel guides never had much appeal to me tbh. I did make my own repeat stop for the mkii rail square though. Square and stop the more versatile option I think.
Gotta say that lens/camera you are using, gets me right into the action. Almost 3d like!
Thanks! iPhone 14 pro. 👌
Do you really use the iPhone as your main camera? Impressive quality!
Love your work 👍
Pretty interesting products indeed, Peter! Thanks for the review! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
The whole system just seemed a bit clunky and awkward to me. I haven't bought into the whole track saw craze yet. I use shop-built versions that have been around forever with great success.
I’ve been using plungesaws since 2005 (2009 DeWalt introduced their version as a tracksaw in 2009) so I hardly think it’s a ‘craze’ more of a well-established alternative to the DIY sawboards that we all,used to make previously. If they’re not for you, then neither will these accessories be. 🤷♂️👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop those accessories are definitely not for me. As I said they looked clumsy or awkward. Several people have commented on that. I appreciate you taking the time to review them. No, track saws are not for me. I've been a woodworker since 85 and have gotten along fine without them.
