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.

Good product, very useful. Makita quality.

Spot on

Perfect, can’t fault it

I mean not much to say really. It’s a Makita product, so feels great, it’s straight, it’s light and makes cutting straight a doddle with my circular saw (with adapter). The only issue I had was trimming the splinter guard which was a bit tricky, especially at the start. This is more to do with my setup rather than the product though. Oh remember to throw in a couple of clamps too if you haven’t got any as this makes it even easier to use.

Perfect

It’s Makita it works as it should and it’s great value

Supplied in manufacturer packaging which was very substantial. All received very well. Great product.

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. 140 cm und 150 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.

Great but the saw it came with wasnt set up from factory and wrecked one of the tracks by cutting into it saw was out of line .

Très bien

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

Ho acquistato questa guida da 1 metro per abbinarla alla sega ad affondamento Makita, e devo dire che si è rivelata una scelta azzeccata. La compatibilità è totale e l'accoppiamento con la sega è preciso, senza giochi o slittamenti di sorta. Durante l'utilizzo la guida rimane ferma esattamente dove la posizioni: non scivola, non vibra, non si sposta di un millimetro. Il risultato sono tagli lineari puliti e ripetibili, proprio quello che ci si aspetta da un accessorio di questo livello. La costruzione ispira fiducia: materiali solidi, profilo ben rifinito, nessuna sbavatura. Chi lavora spesso con pannelli o tavole apprezzerà la differenza rispetto a soluzioni di fortuna o guide di qualità inferiore. Da valutare l'acquisto di un secondo binario per chi ha bisogno di lavorare su lunghezze superiori al metro, dato che i binari Makita si collegano tra loro in modo semplice e preciso. Consigliata senza riserve a chi ha già una sega ad affondamento Makita e vuole sfruttarne al massimo il potenziale.
