Guide rail Mentor ST2800 G2 2800 mm – universal guide track for saws and routers

The Mentor Guide rail ST2800 G2 is a 2800 mm universal guide track designed for use with circular saws, track saws and routers. Its straight extruded profile provides a stable, low-friction guiding surface for accurate, repeatable cuts and routed edges along long panels. The profile is compatible with standard workshop clamps and coupling connectors, allowing quick alignment and extension of multiple rails for larger workpieces. Built for on-site and stationary workshop use, this guide rail supports precise linear motion and helps reduce tear-out and edge chipping when used with appropriate saw blades or router bits.

Advantages

The Mentor ST2800 G2 guide rail combines a long, rigid 2800 mm profile with a low-profile guiding surface that improves cut accuracy and reduces lateral play. Its universal cross-section accepts common clamps and coupling joints so multiple rails can be joined without loss of alignment. The extruded construction ensures straightness over the full length while the material finish minimizes friction between the tool base and the rail. The rail is designed to be used with both handheld and table-mounted tools, giving flexibility for workshop and site tasks.

Suitable for

• Straight cutting of large panels and sheet materials
• Edge routing and trimming with plunge routers
• On-site joinery and cabinetry work requiring long, straight guides
• Combining multiple rails for extended cutting lengths

Key specifications

• Length: 2800 mm
• Profile: extruded straight guide rail compatible with standard clamps and connectors
• Compatibility: designed for circular saws, track saws and routers with matching guide shoes or bases
• Surface: low-friction guiding surface to reduce tool sliding and improve cut quality
• Use environment: suitable for workshop and on-site woodworking

How to use

Position the Mentor ST2800 G2 guide rail on the workpiece and secure it with suitable clamps or an appropriate clamping system that matches the profile. If longer guides are required, connect additional rails using compatible coupling connectors and align the joint to ensure continuity of the guiding surface. Place the saw or router base against the rail, check parallel alignment and perform a test cut on scrap material to confirm setup and blade or bit alignment. Proceed with steady feed at a consistent speed appropriate for the material and tool.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the guide rail clean and free of debris before use, use sharp blades or bits to reduce tear-out, and verify clamp positions to avoid movement during operation. When joining multiple rails, ensure coupling connectors are tightened and the joint is flush to maintain straightness across the entire cutting length.
