Low-profile straightedge system

The Rockler low-profile straightedge helps users to precisely rout, crosscut, and rip plywood and oversized stock. It includes two guide rails, T-fence and accessories for making sliding power tool platforms. Use one 52'' length of straightedge to crosscut 4-ft.-wide sheet goods in a single pass. Users can connect the guide rails end-to-end to create a 104''-long straightedge for long rip cuts. Two T-track clamps install in the bottom T-slot to secure the guide rails anywhere along their length.
