Makita 199140-0 1 Metre Guide Rail

I hummed and ha'd over buying one of these for ages. I have a lot of Makita power tools including a circular saw, jig saw and router but have never used a rail like this and have tried to make do. I've thought of all sorts of cheaper alternatives - use a spirit level (but clamping it can bend it), use laminate flooring (but that's the same cost and is brittle), buy cheaper (but then have a potentially inferior product and a nightmare on getting adaptors etc.). In the end, I bought one, and some clamps...separately. I'm so glad I did. The rail is strong, weighty, but not heavy and VERY good quality - exactly what I expect from Makita. It's way better than I thought it would be and is an investment that will last me a lifetime. A few things on the design, the clamps DO run along the underside meaning you can clamp very close together. the rails on the underside are strong and look like they will stand up to abuse. The bottom has three separate rubber runners that help hold the rail in place. These are softer to prevent marking wood or countertops etc and even if they wear out, you can buy replacements. The top rail is deep for your adaptors and gives confidence the adaptor (and therefore your power tool) won't jump out during use. There are also holes either end that I've used as hook holes for hanging the rail on the wall when not in use. These do fit together if you want to extend the length and they are such good value on Amazon I'm thinking of getting another straight away....you do need the connector kit although non OEM products are also available on Amazon and are a lot cheaper - If I do buy them, I will review in due course. So....I wasted a lot of time trying to think of ways of replicating one of these more cheaply....I wish I had just gone and bought one earlier. Top product.

Perfect, can’t fault it

Well made and works well with Makita clamps, my Makita circular saw with adaptor base. Good straight clean crisp cuts👍🏽 cutting 40mm melamine chipboard worktop

Great quality from Makita . Sometimes easy have a shorter rail than the standard one.

Used with a 120V Makita plunge/track saw. I combine several of these (I have 4 different lengths) with the Makita splice strips to get a variety of lengths. I have used up to 16 foot runs (for long perimeter board cuts on a composite deck picture frame style install) and obtained laser-straight cuts that look very good. It goes without saying that shorter lengths even easier as there is no splice. One thing to note is that these come with soft sponge rubber strips on the bottom that are what hold them in place ... they work amazingly well not needing any other adhesion (at least on Timbertech boards). On the long runs I still added a bit of Gorilla tape just to be sure I didn't get a shift, but that was probably overkill. I bought the Makita bags to carry these, and protect them, and they work well. However, the ends are quite sharp and subject to impact denting - so I also 3D printed some end caps that I put on as well just for good measure (a variety of different ones are available on the various STL free sites). These end caps can also be purchased pre-made online if you search a bit. Combining these with the Makita (fit Festool as well apparently) plunge saw largely eliminates the need for my circular/table saw, and in my opinion is definitely a lot safer.

Die Makita 199140-0 Führungsschiene, 100cm ist ein gutes handliches solides Produkt was ich als Handwerker gut gebrauchen kann. Ich nutze die Makita 199140-0 Führungsschiene, 100cm für kurze Holzschnitte z.B. Querschnitte oder Längstschnitte mit der Handkreissäge von Makita mit passen den Führungsschienenadapter für die Handkreissäge von Makita und als Verlängerung für meine andern Führungsschienen z.B. 1400 cm und 1500 cm u.s.w. von Makita. Zum Verlängern benötigt man ein Führungsschienenverbinder von Makita der separat käuflich erworben werden muss. Ich bin mit dem Produkt und Ergebnis zufrieden und setze oft dieses Produkt ein. Wichtig ist das die Makita 199140-0 Führungsschiene 100cm gerade ist und nicht krum. Was zubeachten wäre. Fazit: Die Makita 199140-0 Führungsschiene 100cm ist klein handlich und schnell einsetzbar auf der Baustelle oder zu Hause. Ich als Handwerker kann dieses Produkt gut gebrauchen und weiterempfehlen.

Works great!

Très bien

Mooie handige rails. Past ook op mijn Festool zaag. En een stuk goedkoper.
