Product Description
Milwaukee Guide Rail Clamps for Track Saw System
Model Number: 48-08-0573
The Milwaukee 48-08-0573 are Guide Rail Clamps for the Milwaukee Track Saw Guide Rail system — clamps that secure the guide rail to the workpiece for precise, splinter-free straight cuts through sheet goods, dimensional lumber, and other flat materials with Milwaukee track saws. The guide rail clamps apply downward clamping force that holds the Milwaukee guide rail firmly to the workpiece surface throughout the cut — preventing the rail from shifting under the lateral forces of the saw moving along the track, which would deflect the cut line and compromise the straight-line accuracy that the guide rail system is designed to deliver. Without clamps, the guide rail can shift at the start or during the cut, particularly in dense materials where cut resistance pushes back against the rail.
Milwaukee designs the guide rail clamps specifically for the profile and dimensions of Milwaukee guide rails — the clamp's jaw geometry engages the specific edge profile of Milwaukee guide rails for secure clamping without marring the rail's surface or the workpiece material. The clamps allow tool-free installation and removal for fast setup and breakdown between cuts. For long rip cuts through full panels, positioning clamps at both ends of the rail and at the midpoint for longer rail sections provides the most consistent clamping force throughout the full cut length. See Milwaukee's complete guide rail accessory lineup for rail connectors, anti-splinter strips, and carrying bags.
