Feikeer 495209 Splinter Guard Replacement Strip for Festool FS-SP 5000 – Track Saw Rail 200 in x 27/32 in x 1/16 in

Overview

Feikeer 495209 Splinter Guard Replacement Strip is designed to elevate precision when working with Festool track saws and guide rails. This self-adhesive strip replaces older splinter guards (495209/495207) and fits Festool FS/2, FS/2 KP, and FSK rails, including the FS-SP 5000 setup. The guard is crafted to align with the cutting line, improve line visibility, and help keep cuts clean and accurate between blade changes or across multiple rails.

Key benefits at a glance

• Compatibility: Replaces Festool splinter guards and works with FS/2, FS/2 KP, and FSK guide rails and track saws for a cohesive setup.
• Alignment and visibility: The clear, high-transparency material helps you align the blade with the mark, reducing guesswork during parallel or lateral cuts.
• Durable adhesion: A strong adhesive layer keeps the guard in place on the guide rail, even in demanding workshop environments.
• Customizable fit: Self-adhesive and easy to trim to size, you can tailor the guard to your exact scribe line and rail length.

In practice: scenarios where this helps

• Switching blades: Maintains consistent alignment as you transition between blades or cut types, helping to maintain a uniform cutting line.
• Multiple saws or rails: When using more than one Festool track saw or rail, the guard helps preserve consistent behavior across tools.
• Parallel and lateral cuts: The guard’s visibility and alignment support cleaner tear-out control, especially along straight runs.
• Setup time reduction: By matching the blade edge to the scribe mark, setup can be quicker with less readjustment.

Material, dimensions, and installation tips

The replacement strip is made from high-quality hard rubber with a clear finish and a robust, semi-permanent adhesive. It measures 200 inches in length, 27/32 inches in width, and 1/16 inch in thickness. The self-adhesive backing is designed to be cut to size and applied directly to Festool guide rails. For best results, ensure the rail surface is clean and grease-free before applying the new guard.

How to install (quick guide)

1. Clean the rail with acetone and let it dry completely.
2. Trim the guard to the length you need, aligning with the scribe mark.
3. Peel away the backing and press the guard firmly onto the rail to secure adhesion.
4. Recheck alignment along the cutting line before making a test cut.
