Key Features
Straight, Clean CutsThe anti-splinter strip helps reduce tear-out at the cut edge, and the extruded aluminum rail keeps the saw tracking straight for cleaner finish work and sheet goods cuts. Built for Track SawsThis Milwaukee guide rail is made to work with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 6-1/2 in. Plunge Track Saw, giving you table-saw-style accuracy in a more portable setup. Stays Put, Glides EasyNon-slip pads on the bottom help keep the rail from shifting during the cut, while anti-friction strips on top help the saw move smoothly from start to finish.
Overview
The Milwaukee 48-08-0570 31 in. Guide Rail is a track saw guide rail for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 6-1/2 in. Plunge Track Saw. This is a guide rail designed for straight, splinter-reduced cutting in sheet goods and finish materials. Model Number: 48-08-0570. If you want cleaner cuts without dragging a table saw to the job, this accessory is the piece that makes the track saw system do its job right.
Milwaukee built this rail to deliver laser-straight cuts while keeping the setup more portable than a table saw. That matters for remodel work, cabinet parts, flooring, built-ins, and breaking down large panels where accuracy matters but space is tight. The 31 in. length is useful when you need a compact section of rail that is easier to carry, store, and position on smaller workpieces.
The cut quality side of the equation is just as important as straightness. The anti-splinter strip is there to help reduce tear-out along the cut edge, which is especially helpful when working with veneered sheet goods, plywood, and other finish-sensitive materials. Instead of just guiding the saw, the rail helps support a cleaner edge so you spend less time fixing chips after the cut.
Milwaukee also paid attention to how the saw rides on the rail. Anti-friction strips on the top let the plunge track saw glide more smoothly through the cut, and the non-slip pads on the bottom help the rail stay planted on the material. On the job, that means less fighting the setup and more confidence when you’re making a finish cut or trying to stay on layout marks.
The rail itself is made from extruded aluminum, which is the right move for an accessory like this. You want something rigid enough for precision straight cuts without getting excessively heavy. At 2.9 lb, this rail stays manageable for transport and quick setup, while the 0.4 in. height and 7.4 in. width keep the profile low and stable on the workpiece.
System fit matters with guide rails, and Milwaukee kept that straightforward here. This rail is compatible with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 6-1/2 in. Plunge Track Saw, Milwaukee Clamps (48-08-0573), and the Milwaukee Rail Connector (48-08-0575). That means you can lock it down when needed and connect sections when your cut length grows beyond a single rail.
Who should buy it? Anyone already running the Milwaukee plunge track saw and wanting cleaner, straighter, more repeatable cuts. It’s a strong fit for carpenters, remodelers, cabinet installers, and serious DIY users working with plywood, trim panels, shelving, and other sheet material. If you do mostly short, controlled cuts and want a compact rail that is easy to keep in the truck, this one makes a lot of sense.
