Makita 194385-5 Guide Rail Clamp Set

These are used to hold the makits saw track in place and they work really well. They are heavier and larger than the pictures imply so they should last you many years without breaking. They are also quick attack and release, brilliant bit of kit.

Sturdy clamps that do what they say on the tin. Primarily wanted them to use with the mft part of my workbench but also fit my Macallister track saw rails & the cawls I’ve made recently to cantilever a router table in front of my bench (small workshop with no space for a separate table). Gotta love a tool that does multiple jobs.Only downside was a pretty tortuous process to get them - originated in Germany & got bogged down in customs processes, then did a tour of East & West Midlands to get to me.Compared to some of the other options, thought these were very well priced.

Great for clamping Makita track to the workpiece without fouling the tracksaw (or circular saw + adapter in my case).I mostly use this when friction is too low to go unclamped (slippy/dusty or small workpieces)

These clamps are very sturdy and very well suited to their primary role of clamping rails to the workpiece. They are however, just a bit too short for an MFT top. By this I mean that the moving jaw cannot be lifted high enough, to allow the clamp to be inserted into the 20mm hole and rotate through an arc, without slightly distorting the MDF around the hole.Still worth the money and I will make sure not to insert them in holes that I regularly use for dogs.

Bought these to replace my broken Evolution clamps. These fit my Evolution tracks perfectly and are much quicker to tighten. A nice sturdy design.

Brilliant quality and competitively priced.

Great set of clamps and great value. I am using them with the Scheppach/Aldi/Grizly plunge saw and they fit and work very well. The casting of the slide bar is not up to the same standard as the Festool and Bessey clamps but then again it is not in the same price bracket. When in use they slide very well with no binding but with really good grip. While they are not as convenient to use as the quick clamp style units that is not a problem for me as I don't need to do multiple changes quickly.For the price I paid, less then £20, delivered, I almost wish I needed some more.Wait a minute !!!! you can never have too many clamps, mmm !!!

I bought these after reading the reviews as I started using my ALDI track saw, they needed some filing to fit into the slots properly. Luckily I had a small bench grinder to carefully reduce the top. It’s only slight to make a good fit so you could easily over do it, so using a hand file would be good. They are really useful even with a cheap budget saw you get great results as they securely fit the track to the work piece. Also good as normal clamps as well. Very pleased.
