Festool FS-RAPID/R Quick-Action Clamp Set for Guide Rails

Overview

Festool FS-RAPID/R Quick-Action Clamp for Guide Rails At a Glance: Secure compatible Festool guide rails by clamping against the sides of the workpiece. Quick-action operation, adjustable clamping pressure and soft rubber contact points. Includes clamping jaw and fixed jaw. Position your guide rail and secure it quickly with the Festool FS-RAPID/R. This clamping system holds the rail through lateral pressure against the workpiece, offering a practical solution where access for conventional clamps is restricted. It is particularly useful when working on assembled cabinet carcasses or other components where reaching underneath the cutting area is inconvenient. Once positioned and adjusted, the quick-action mechanism makes tightening and releasing straightforward. Soft rubber contact points help protect the workpiece and resist slipping, while the adjustable clamping pressure allows the setup to be matched to the material. The components engage with the guide rail’s clamp groove to provide a compact, integrated fixing arrangement. Side Clamping for Fast Guide Rail Positioning The FS-RAPID/R uses accessible workpiece sides as its clamping surfaces. This gives you another way to secure the rail when the workpiece shape or support arrangement makes conventional clamping difficult. Product Highlights • Quick-action operation: Tighten and release the adjusted clamp with a simple hand movement. • Lateral clamping: Secures the guide rail against suitable workpiece sides. • Rubber contact points: Help protect surfaces and reduce slipping. • Adjustable pressure: Clamping screw settings allow the holding pressure to be readjusted. • Guide rail groove mounting: Fits the clamp groove of the specified Festool rails. • Two-part set: Includes the clamping jaw and opposing fixed jaw. Product Compatibility • Festool FS guide rails: For compatible rails with the appropriate clamp groove. • Festool FS/2 guide rails: Suitable for positioning and clamping the rail on appropriate workpieces. • Festool FS/2-KP guide rails: Provides a mechanical clamping option through the rail’s clamp groove. • Workpiece requirements: Requires accessible opposing contact surfaces and enough clearance for the complete clamping arrangement. Setup note: Check that the workpiece provides suitable contact surfaces and that the installed jaws clear the saw, motor housing and cutting path throughout the operation. Confirm rail security before starting the cut.
