I wasn’t sure if I should buy this guide or the Makita equivalent guide as I was unsure if it would accept my Makita DHS680Z 18v Circular Saw & Makita 196953-0 Guide Rail.
The price difference made me go for the Evolution track.
The Makita guide rail fits perfectly to the Evolution track. The Makita rail can be adjusted to take out any slack between it and the circular saw.
The only downside between the Evolution track against the Makita track is that the Makita guide rail has a secondary point that locks it flat into a second slot on the Makita track, so that the saw blade is locked vertically.
This would keep the saw completely flat when cutting.
The Evolution track doesn’t have the second lock in slot and so you could possibly cut in a perfect straight line, but you could move the saw slightly out of vertical.
I would think this would only be a problem if you were cabinet making etc.
Very good
Well made tracks that line up properly when connecting together. Provide smooth and accurate cuts. Clamps are a bit fiddly to tighten especially as you are usually using them blind, a ratchet type would be more convenient. Only grouse is the bag, the velcro “fastening” is a waste of time, I’m going to have to attach some sort of straps to keep it closed, a job for a rainy day!
OK for the price
For the price, this is good, the bag supplied is too small to fit rails in comfortably, you must attach the rails against a strait edge, as there is a bit of play before you tighten it up and no lip on the rail to hold the saw on 45 angle cuts. But set it up carefully and it will make normal long cuts well
Very good quality
Haven’t used it yet but seems ti be good solid product. Hope to use it in the warmer weather.
After a lot of research on compatibility with my Festool TS55 I decided that as I needed to cut sheets, the occasional door and bit of cabinet work and without any secondhand rails about, I concluded that two 1400mm rails were the way forward.
As a keen diyer I couldn’t justify the cost of Festool rails which would set me back around 185 for the rails alone.
These rails are a bargain – no others come close to rails, clamps and bag for this sort of money.
If I want to customise a little I will eventually replace the clamps for quick clamps and the various strips for Makita or Festool, as there isn’t a huge difference in cost for the consumables.
I have seen the reviews mention the poor quality of the clamps but any fool knows you should always have a sacrificial packer between any metal clamp and a finished workpiece. Even the softer faces clamps can cause denting or damage, so the clamps are perfectly useable and if I get fed up with them I will upgrade for better ones when the wife is not looking.
Works well
It does what it says on the box & gives a very straight cut.
Brilliant for the price
Used this for cutting a parquet floor back to install a border detail and trimming doors, it’s no festool but it does the job I also got the 2 longer tracks and clamps separately as the 300mm tracks supplied are good enough but a bit of a pain for longer areas
Great track rail
You’d be a fool not to buy this if you’ve purchased the Evolution plunge saw. 3 lengths and easy clamps all in a great little carry case
Much cheaper than Festool but compatible. Check all parts are actually included.
Great product but bad quality control – sent to me without the two small bars for joining the tracks into one length. Chatted on Amazon and helpful rep’ asked me to confirm missing parts on Evolution website then gave me partial refund so I could buy them. Great I thought – no need to send the whole lot back. The catch? Only free postage on orders over the amount I was spending so I ended up out of pocket. Thanks Evolution:(
First time I’ve used a saw rail, the best thing is it can clamp to the material being cut without risking the clamps ever blocking the saw itself like would be the case with a straight edge and ratchet clamps or G-clamps.
I bought this for my Evolution saw which I’ve had a couple of years so not really old. I knew it didn’t specifically say it would fit it but was hoping they hadn’t changed the design. Unfortunately they have so the distance from the cutting edge to the guide rail was different – I needed to use a TCT blade on the first pass to trim the rail down to size. Another gripe was that to achieve a true straight cut, rather than butting the ends of the rails together I needed to intentionally have a small gap at one end as they aren’t manufactured square. These issues aside after some practice and modification I was able to fit a full kitchen with this, easily >100 cuts and the results were perfectly fine!
In summary, it works with potential mods, and worth what I paid IMO. If you want perfection out of the box then spend x3 times as much.
Excelente
Pues sabiendola usar es una herramienta bastante til, y por el precio y Calidad le doy 5 estrellas en todo
Purchased this along with my Evolution Circular Saw having read a number of reviews. I like the Evolution brand for DIYing and this is perfect….for the DIYer. Accuracy is not as good as other tracks I’ve used but as long as you’re always considering it then you’ll have no issues. The sacrifical edge should give a pretty good guide after the 1st cut.
My biggest issue with it is not the track itself but the clamps. Foolishly the clamped it on a kitchen worktop and the screw made an indentation on it which I cannot get out. Why these aren’t quick release is beyond me. I have to use a piece of foam so it doesn’t leave any marks. Something like these would be much better suited: https://amzn.eu/d/iA7t6rZ
Overall it’s a good piece of kit with room for improvement, something I hope Evolution are looking into.
Nice but only slight compatible with Bosch gks
Nice case, seems flat and level, nice clamps. A good product. Just be careful with the word “compatible” as the Bosch saw doesn’t fit over the guide rail, it is just guided against the edge.
agli dritti e puliti un vero portento
un binario in alluminio davvero comodo e preciso, si monta in un attimo e assicura tagli dritti. Arriva con una borsa di tela che la rende anche trasportabile. i due morsetti scorrono al di sotto del piano di lavoro, rendendo tutta la lunghezza disponibile e bloccano il binario in maniera sicura. I bordi lato lama, sono di platica (consiglio di controllarli prima perch a me si sono scollati) e devono essere “battezzati” con un primo taglio. il che, aiuta in seguito a posizionare il binario, la sega scorre bene e non si impunta, restando ben posizionata. lo consiglio a tutti gli hobbisti come me!!
Brilliant bit of ki
Brilliant bit of kit if you have a guide compatible saw. Make sure you lubricate the surface with PTFE or silicone spray and make a first pass to trim the white plastic edge.
Used it for cutting insulated conservatory roof panels (aluminium skin, rubber layer and expanded foam insulation) and got perfect lines every time
This is a review of the Evolution guide rail/tracks 2400mm & 1400mm.
Some time ago I purchased the 2400mm track kit. Just brilliant, comparing the cost to other track manufacturers, they are very cost effective indeed.
The track is true and sturdy. However, I found it a little inconvenient at times, if for example I had a piece of material about 1600 mm to cut. With both lengths of track having be joined for an extra 200mm,in order to cover the the whole cut, a great deal of track was left overhanging at both ends.
So I decided to buy the the smaller kit (1400mm) in order to just extend one piece of the original track by one piece of the small kit (700mm), which would be a much better length of track to work with for that smaller piece of material.
However, when it arrived the track had a bend in its width and would not line up causing the saw to jam.
So it was replaced with no problems by Amazon within 2days, (which is an amazing service)?
The second kit was OK, but I had trouble lining the sections up and butting the joints together.
I put a straight edge along the back of the tracks and pulled them to fit to this straight edge.
I could see the the cut ends on one piece were not square so by connecting the track and fitting the connection bars meant that on the joint there was a small gap on the front side of the track?
So I tightened up the joining bars in this position, and it worked when making the cut?
I can only assume that in manufacture, Evolution make 1400mm pieces of track and that the smaller two piece kit are those full length tracks, cut in half (700mm) on another machine, which is not as precise or accurate as the manufacturing machines track ends?
If an Evolution Sliding Mitre Saw is available fitted with a multi materials cutting blade, then a simple trim on the end at a 90 degree angle would sort it, making the whole track system absolutely perfect (in my opinion anyway).
Perhaps Evolution would be better off using one of their own Sliding Mitre Saws, for the track cutting, on those smaller pieces?
Good design and build
Easy to assemble and alter for different situations. Have not used with circular track saw but reciprocating Jigsaw cut clean, straight lines!
i'm very happy
i’m very happy with the track and it’s great that you can keep everything in one bag
gutted
ot good I’m sad to say ,unfortunately I ordered the wrong guide rail for my new circular saw , discovering this when opening it on 14. 2. 2022 to late to return it. gutted
Great value
I was a little apprehensive when purchasing these tracks as some reviews stated that they weren’t accurate when joined together..but I compared them against my makita guide rails and one of the brands wasn’t 100% true..
So I got 1800mm level out and laid it against the side of the evolution which seemed straight, but once I ran the saw through it certainly wasn’t.. you have to put the level against the part that the saw follows and adjust until that is straight..very fiddly..
So even though at first impressions I thought the evolution joined straight it need fine adjustment.
Easy
Absolutely brilliant quick and easy to use for straight cuts. Would recommend to anyone
Does the job well.
Brilliant piece of kit. I bought it for use with the Evolution circular saw which I love.
The only, extremely minor issue I have is that the allen key required to join the two halves together gets lost in the storage pocket in the bag. This is being really picky as I have taken it out and put it in my screwdriver bits box which I have with me at all times.
I can certainly recommend this track to anyone.

Great item ,suits the Makita plunge saw .
Great value , suits the Makita plung saw , my only gripe would be the clamp as you tighten they leave a mark from the screw that holds the cup , I marked 2 oak doors with them . I have a pair of makita clamps that fit so will be using them .

Schne Schienen, passen perfekt zur Parkside Tauchsge (LIDL) und lassen sich auch mit den Parkside-Schienen verbinden.
Auch die Zwingen sind ok, insgesamt ein lohnenswerter Kauf.
Top Führungsschiene zu einem fairen Preis
Super Werkzeug und nicht so unverhltnismig teuer wie die anderen “Marken Fhrungsschienen”.
Ich hab die Bosch Professional Akku Kreissge GKS 18V-57 G und die Schiene passt.
Excellent adaptable guide rails
Searched for ages to find guide rails for an Einhell plunge saw as they are out of stock globally
These work perfectly well and the saw sits neatly on them and cuts perfectly very happy
Well done evolution great job
Useful accessory
Used to cut straight lines while building a 2.1m tall kitchen cabinet, carcass and doors. Easy to use and provides a reliable guide for circular saws. My saw didn’t fit the track, but I used the straight edge as my guide with no problem.
Buen complemento

Eco rails and Screwfix saw.
Rails arrived in good straight condition with everything there. Fit together well including two useful clamps. Comes with a carry bag
Important info not everyone mentions.
These fit theMcallister saw from Screwfix just fine. Don’t know about any others. Cheaper than most other rails tho still seems a lot for a couple of bits of ally.
A good guide to a straight edge
I bought these guides to see if they would go with my Bosch circular saw, and although the saw fits onto the rails and cuts beautifully it does lean over very very slightly, i’m talking about the blade not being at 90 degs but i am talking less than a mm so for the perfectionists out there,buy a Bosch one, but for anyone else on a budget these are great rails. i’ve used to chop down doors to size rather than using a plane, work surfaces etc. brilliant.
Quality and price
East to use cuts accurately and good value for money excellent produc
Used with Mac Allister plunge saw
I’ve used these to go with my N my ac Allister plunge saw. They work ok however one slot is accessed on opposite side meaning not all grub screws can be tightened
The track is easy to assemble. The clamps work great. I use a makita track saw with it. I get very good cuts with the track. Like the carry bag keeps it clean.

Great addition to my tool kit, cut straight as a die with this
Perfect for the job they do
Found that my Saw plate was no square so had to be adjusted to ensure perfect cut following the track. Once that was lined up they were easy to use and extend
FANTASTICHE
Avevo gi il binario dato con la sega, ma era troppo corto per i pannelli. Con questo ho risolto definitivamente.
I binari sono molto precisi, scorrevoli e velocissimi da fissare con i loro morsetti dedicati.

UPDATED REVIEW - From 1 star to 5
I have had the replacement delivered today and its good. One of the edges is a bit rough but its square so I can live with that and its acceptable for the price paid compared to the items I recieved yesterday. I’m glad I went for a replacement instead of a refund as I really wanted this to work. Its a big track. Its probadly worth fettling with to make life a bit smoother. Came with two clamps that I’ve not used and a bag. I have not cut the rubber strip yet but that will need doing and maybe even require a bit of work. I
will leave yesterdays review in brackets below. I have the Makita track turning up in the morning. That will be an interesting compare.
(Delivered 5 minutes ago. The track edges are appalling and NOT square at the other end. You have zero chance of joining these two rails together without a nasty train track effect. Putting back in box for replacement. If the next set is bad I’ll request a refund. You’d think a company that deals in saws could cut straight! Let’s not mention the pitted finish as per photo three)

Doesn't work with all makita saws
Already had an 18v makita circular saw which I believed would work would work with this rail as the description names makita as compatible brand. However I had to instead purchase a new evolution saw to be able to use the track.
Great saw for the price though and worked perfectly with the track to rip down large bits of sheet wood. This works better and is easier work than using a table saw to rip big lengths of ply or mdf.
Rail de guidage très utile.
Produit de bonne conception. Idale pour deligner des panneaux. La prcision est au millimtres, donc bien pour le gros uvre, mais pas pour de la menuiserie pure.
Super Führungsschiene!
Ich habe fr meine Bosch PKS 54 eine gnstige Fhrungsschiene gesucht und bin hier fndig geworden. Perfekte 2x 1,40m lange Schiene mit weiem Splitterschutz, zwei schwarzen Moosgummi Streifen, als Antirutsch und oben zwei Kunststoff Streifen als Gleitlager fr die Handkreissge. Dazu zwei durchdachte Zwingen, die beiden Feststellschrauben am Schenkel, ermglichen das Einhndige festschrauben der selbigen. Zwei Verbindungschienen, ein Imbusschlssel und eine Tasche.
Mit dem Bosch Adapter luft die PKS Spielfrei auf der Schiene. Der Splitterschutz braucht nicht “eingeschnitten” werden, da man die Maschine mit dem Adapter perfekt anpassen kann. Vielleicht macht man noch etwas “Silbergleit” auf die Fhrung fr den Adapter um ein noch besseres Ergebnis zu haben. Ich kann nur sagen Top! Und das ganze fr 92 Euro!

Not totally universal but a good straight edge
I needed a guide for my circular saw from Wickes. I generally like the evolution products and these rails are pretty good at giving a straight line from A to B but, my circ saw does not have a guide stop that clicks in to position. However, if I off set the guide by 33mm and then just push against the higher edge, it does a pretty good job. For a casual DIYer, it’s fine.
Bought this set of tracks for my Parkside saw. Tracks with the Parkside saw are a little effy. When connections small ones you never really get a good straight cut so I thought I get these two longs ones. Best thing about it is that you can use two connectors to make sure they are 100% straight. With newly 3m long you won’t need anything else. Comes with clamps and storage case. I’ve never had clams but it’s very hand. All under 80?? Can’t go wrong really. It will pay for it self in couple of jobs. Do your self a favour and get one of these, stop faffing around with small ones.
molto buona
ben fatta molto robusta comoda da portare, spedizione ok arrivata ben protetta e anche in anticipo
Got this set because I was struggling to cut sheets of plywood that weren’t perfectly straight use it with a Makita hs76001j and the Makita 19700-5 guide rail adapter and all work perfect together , very happy now
Well made and accurate
Well made, perfect for when a straight cut or line is needed.
passt nicht zu Bosch (zumindest nicht zur alten Serie...)!
passt leider gar nicht zu BOSCH GKS 55 GCE – berhaupt nicht. Totale Irrefhrung.
25.07.2021 Nachtrag: habe mittlerweile heraus gefunden, dass Bosch sein System gendert hat. Meine Maschine ist von 2007 – damit noch das alte System, daher die Inkompatibilitt.
Habe mit jetzt die neue Bosch GKT 55 GCE zugelegt – eine super Maschine und die passt hervorragend zu den Schienen. Sehr przise Schnitte mglich. Auch das Zusammenklemmen auf 280cm ist easy und sauber.
Klemmzwingen funktionieren prima – Tasche dabei, alles ordentlich verrumt. Super!

Good with a 'but'!
Bought this for my Evolution saw, it’s easy to assemble, but dont assume it’s straight, I did with my first cut, then when I put a straight edge on the timber it wasn’t straight, I put a spirit level along the back of the track and sure enough, although the joining ends were butted up, the ends aren’t truly square, I loosened the joiners and had to have a small gap at the back to get them truly straight. The second cut was perfect. Slight gripe, but you’d assume being machined made they’d be perfect square end
The most cost effective solution for longer guide rails
These rails are an excellent price and a good product. I use them with my Triton plunge saw. the clamps that are supplied are also good.
The only disappointment is that the t-slot on the far left of the rail is inverted when compared with Triton, Makita and Festool rails. This means I cannot join these rails with others. Also I can’t use the UJK bench dog clips with these rails. I know this before I bought it.
Buen producto
Muy buena gua y prctica, inclusive sin las prensas es bastante estable
Fantastic
Been wanting these ages .. Excellent to use with Lidl’s plunge saw. Like fact comes with 2 clamps and lovely pro looking bag. Friend who is carpenter uses these and rates it ..
Fr den Preis echt unschlagbar. Zwei 70er Fhrungsschienen, die man hinten mit zwei Verbindungsstcken zusammenfgen kann. Wirkt hochwertig verarbeitet. Bosch GKS 12V-26 luft mit dem Adapter da wunderbar. Klemmen sind ebenfalls dabei, ebenso wie eine Inbusschlssel und die Tasche. Alles gut verarbeitet. Bei anderen zahlt man alleine fr die Tasche oder die Klemmen schon fast den Preis. Fr den Preis ist das Set echt TipTop.

Estoy muy satisfecho.
Muy buen material.
Entrega muy rpida en 2 das.
Expensive but accurate.
What can be said, other than it’s a track for a saw. Both sections connect very securely and also join to the shorter Evolution track sections. I’ve used these to reduce both width and height of oak doors and they perform perfectly. However 50 for two sections of aluminium seems steep. But this was the lowest price I could find.
glad to have this item
would give 5if the ends were square and better joining the
