Self-Adhesive Splinterguard Splinter Guard Fit for Festool Guide Rail, Clear Replacement 495209, 220” Long, 27/32” Width, 1/16” Thickness

I love the clear tape - much better than the stock FESTOOL tape and a fraction of the cost. Replace this often if you nick the existing tape with the blade.

Like others have mentioned. It melts rather than cuts on first pass when installed. Saw blade is not dull. It does work though. Be sure to use the adhesion promoter.

The adhesive is horrible but I got around that by using my own FastCap tape to hold it down. I went to make the first cut to clean up the edge of the splinter guard and it just melted it when I cut it. This made for a very uneven edge and horrible cut on my finished part. BTW, the adhesion promoter was an empty bottle of nail polish (on both strips I ordered) I would never recommend buying this to my worst enemy.

This splinter guard went on well and stuck extremely well. I cleaned the old tape off with a solvent, dried it then put tape on. Been a couple of weeks and still going strong.

I was impressed with the way this installed and stuck on. This is a low-tech product by nature and F**tool charges way too much for their strips of plastic. this is an excellent alternative and the cost will mean that I won't mind replacing one that gets damaged from user error.

Sticks good but doesn't leave a nice clean edge when trimmed.

Went on easy and looks the same as Festool. Time will tell if it will stay on.While trimming the plastic does melt and looks bad. I lightly sanded the trimmed edge and it performs great. Don't know if the Festool product melts while trimming.

I installed this product on one of my tracks last night, and after cleaning the old glue off the track, I installed this product using the glue promoter that was supplied. It is like using contact cement and REALLY fastened the material to the track. Care had to be taken to make sure the material did not contact the coated track until you wanted it to. One thing that I noted is that the material is thicker than the original Festool material. I am not too concerned that the cut was not 100% square for what I use the saw for, but thought I should mentions it. The thing that really surprised me is that when I trimmed the material to the saw blade, it melted in blobs and did not leave a smooth edge on the cut. It also folded some of the material under the cut in a small hump along the edge. I used it today after I trimmed it and it was easy to align to my marks, and the saw cut was perfect. The small folding over did not seem to effect the operation. I do not know how long it will stick, but as well stuck as it was today I think it will be fin for a long time.
