5.0 out of 5 starsWorks well, will work better with one long rail...
By Mitch on January 29, 2012
Verified Purchase
This clamp allows the Festool rail to clip right on the edge of a panel. This makes for a very quick cycle time of position/clamp/check/cut.

It should be noted this item is made in Germany (as is all Festool stuff). Also, the pistol grip swivels 90* to rest flatter against the rail. If you put the clamp on backwards it COULD be possible to clip the handle a bit. I just put it on as it states in the directions, but it technically works either way.

Overall a high quality unit that I enjoy using. It is not quite as versatile as the little "F" style clamps but it is faster. Get both.

EDIT: Back to my review title, I am using this clamp with two 55" rails connected together with the Festool connectors. If you clamp too hard (which really isn't very hard) the rails separate a little bit. I have been using this clamp with very light handshake pressure and the rails is clamped well enough that a 3/4" birch ply sheet slides on the bench before the clamp moves.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for typical sheet goods!
By Auggie on December 9, 2014
Verified Purchase
A new Festool Track Saw user here and I was trying to decide which clamp to use with its guide rail. Although the Quick/Screw Clamps are more versatile for non-guide rail uses, I really needed something to keep the guide rail from moving around on Melamine and Ikea Abstrakt sheet panels. Since I already have general purpose clamps, I chose the Rapid Clamp and have been loving it ever since.

Quick to setup and does what I needed it to do: keep the guide rail from shifting on slick sheet panels, such as the aforementioned Melamine sheet panels and Ikea's super glossy Abstrakt cabinet panels and doors. The fixed jaw allows rapid setup for repeat cutting of multiple pieces.

Unlike the Gecko Suction Clamping Handle which is only effective on Melamine and similarly smooth panels, the Rapid Clamps work on most all other types of sheet goods and dimensional lumber.

I have no idea for the basis of one user describing the Rapid Clamp as "not up to Festool standards" by complaining that it doesn't leave enough clearance to utilize the guide rails' non-slip strip on the work piece; well, for the rest of us using common sense when power sawing, we typically lay the workpiece on top of appropriately sized sacrificial/scrap wood in order to prevent saw blades from cutting into our work surfaces. So his "complaint" really is a non-issue; in fact, with the Rapid Clamps and at least 3/4" or thicker scrap wood for elevation, you can actually have the clamps lay over your workbench (with the pistol grip rotated flat, of course), unlike the Festool Quick and Screw Clamps with their long bodies hanging way too low which essentially requires them to be clamped over the edges of workbenches.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Festool Home Run
By Dovetail on March 9, 2014
I picked this up yesterday and used it on my 55" and 118" rails to break down a 4' x 8' sheet.

I LOVE it. I own both the standard screw clamps and the rapid clamps. What is great about this clamp is that you don't need all the clearance under the material that the other clamps require. It is truly "rapid" - much faster to position and clamp the rail using this clamp. It is very fast and easy to transfer this clamp between different rails.

It did require a little initial adjustment to get the level pressure right, but that takes about five minutes.

And for those of us who love Festool but complain about the price - You only have to buy one of these...

Finally, a Festool piece that gets my track cuts straight! I have never had truly straight cuts - well, not without much adjusting, re-measuring, etc. - from my Festool tracksaw collection, but now I do! Very easy to master and puts the track right on your line.

4.0 out of 5 starsWorks better than I thought it would
By HugeStakkaBoFan VINE VOICE on April 27, 2014
My experiences with the standard-issue ratcheting track clamps were not especially positive, but I thought I'd like them a lot better than this goofy thing. Turns out I was dead wrong. If you're cutting down 3/4" sheet goods with a single-piece track, this gizmo works a whole lot better and is much less error-prone to set up. No running back and forth from end to end to see if the track shifted while you were tightening one of the clamps down, and no amount of vibration knocks them loose. It is a little snug in the track, but it's not especially difficult to position, and you usually don't need to move it around a lot once it's on.

If you're cutting thinner material, however--like sheets of polycarbonate--it's completely useless. The only thing I've found to really work well there is T-track mounted hold-down clamps on both the track *and* the plastic. That stuff likes to scoot around on you as soon as the teeth start biting into it, leading to jagged edges and kickbacks.

4.0 out of 5 starsThis allows the rail to be clamped in virtually any ...
By Rob on August 16, 2014
This allows the rail to be clamped in virtually any position to any area small enough for the rail to fit in. I have a smaller section of rail i cut to use to cut level around verical columns that were in place an need of repair. I clamped to one side at a time and removed the lower section of the column and replaced it. I couldn't think of another tool that would allow me to do this.
