How to Break Down Large 4'x8' Sheet Goods (MDF, plywood and more!) 

I own the TSO components Hans demonstrates here. As a professional, tool cost for essential processes is trumped by precision and reliability. There is no question IMO that TSO guide rail accessories are not only the most precise but also the most versatile and logically integrated to purpose. What is surprising beyond their superlative quality is that TSO products are in fact NOT the most expensive among established competitors. The immediate benefits of TSO habitual attention to detail are magnified by their integration into a pragmatic system.

One thing I discovered on my own when using the TSO square, which ironically you actually did (time 5:05 on the video) when doing the cross cut, was to lift the guide rail by pushing down on the end closest to you, so the guide rail comes down square on the wood. If I didn’t do this, then the guide rail sorta sticks to the plywood, preventing the TSO square from setting square against the edge of the plywood. This technique was important and helped me.

Great tools Hans. They've changed my results for the better. By the way, where did you get your tool pouch?... nice size for the shop.

Love TSO products, and although I agree whole heartedly with Marc, TSO products will get you as close to perfection as you need to be while enjoying the process!

This old fart could do wonders with a good old table saw

I am very happy with all my TSO products I wish you would start selling squares and rulers like woodpecker's because I do not like that company and will not buy their products but if you have the same type of machining accuracy going on you should start competing with them I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate having an option. on a more critical notes please stop with the side angles with the camera that is so tacky I don't know why everybody does that it's just the dumbest thing. if you're talking to your audience then look at them if you were talking to your friend and decided to turn 30° away and keep talking they would think that was weird.

I have the entire TSO system and a Festool cordless track saw and will be using a Bora Centipede 4 x 8 work table. Will be setting up to build my kitchen base cabinets. No more cutting plywood on rigid foam squares on the garage floor with a guide and circular saw. No more out of square cuts and having to repurpose large pieces for other purposes.

Great close. Let's not get too obsessed about perfection. It's about enjoying the experience.

I didn’t realize you guys were a Minnesota company until I placed my first TSO order the other day. Now I’m looking forward to buying more TSO products.

Its more about efficiency of time than perfection.

very nice tools TSO .

That's correct, put your mistakes in the back where they won't be seen.

Hello Karl. Thanks for the informative video. I recently purchased the Makita Track Saw system. My question: I'm looking into the TSO parallel guide system. They offer a 20" inch rail, a 30" rail, and a combo set of 30"/50" rail ($100+ more than the 30" set, as you know). In my spare time, I enjoy building small furniture for family and friends (book cases, shelves, tables, etc. in my side-of-the-garage shop. In your opinion, which rail size would you recommend? Thanks again!
