Festool 495717 – FS-PA Parallel Side Fence for Guide Rail System, 2-Pack

Description

Festool 495717 FS-PA Parallel Side Fence

The Festool 495717 is the FS-PA parallel side fence, a metal fence system that turns an FS/2 guide rail and track saw into a precise ripping setup. Its adjustable stops set the strip width, so every panel comes off the same size without measuring or marking.

Features and Specifications

• Max. workpiece width: 650 mm (25-19/32 inch)
• Mounting: fits FS/2 and FS/2-KP guide rails without tools
• Scale: printed scale that can be finely adjusted
• Pack: 2 pieces, each a stop ruler with an additional clamp and an adjustable stop
• Construction: metal

How It Works

Clamp a stop ruler to each end of the rail, set both stops to the same reading and push the stops against the panel edge. The rail then sits parallel to that edge at the set width. Make the cut, slide the rail over, and repeat. For strips narrower than the main fence allows, add the FS-PA-VL extension (495718).

Who Uses It

The Festool 495717 suits cabinet makers, closet and millwork installers and renovators who break down sheet goods on site or in a small shop with no panel saw. It is a practical way to cut cabinet sides, shelves and drawer parts to repeatable widths.

Setup Tips

Make a test cut and measure it before cutting a full batch, then adjust the scale if needed. Check that both stops read the same, keep the stop faces clean, and support long offcuts so the panel does not pinch the blade at the end of the cut. Store the stop rulers flat so they stay straight.
