Guide Rail, FS 1400/2-KP, Festool

Is the Festool Guide Rail 1400mm FS 1400/2-KP suitable for installing drawer runners?

Yes. This guide rail is designed to provide safe, dead straight machine guidance, which helps when you need accurate, repeatable alignment for drawer runner and related fitting work in furniture building and joinery. The 1.4 m length makes it practical for many standard drawer and runner layouts.

How does the anti slip coating help during use?

The underside includes an anti slip coating to improve stability while you work. This helps keep the rail positioned as you mark, guide, or machine, which is especially helpful when you are aiming for straight, consistent results.

How is the guide rail fixed in place, and what is included in the box?

It is supplied with 30 adhesive pads. These are used to help secure the rail to the work surface, improving steadiness for accurate guidance. Having multiple pads also makes it easier to set up for different projects or reposition as needed.

What worktops or surfaces will it work well on?

In typical woodworking and furniture fitting workflows, the rail is used on stable, flat surfaces where the adhesive pads can bond properly. For best results, the surface should be clean and free from dust or grease so the pads can hold firmly.

Is the 1400 mm length enough for most drawer runner layouts?

Often, yes. At 1.4 m, the rail covers a wide range of furniture and cabinetry marking and guidance tasks. If your application is longer than the guide rail, you may need a different length or a project specific approach, but for many drawers and runner arrangements this size is a convenient match.

Where can I find the product identification details?

You can reference the Product name as Festool Guide Rail 1400mm FS 1400/2-KP and the Part No as 005.25.344. It is also listed as Festool 577043, which can help ensure you select the correct guide rail for your setup.

Why choose this guide rail over using markings and measuring alone?

A straight guided setup improves accuracy and reduces the risk of drift during machining or drilling steps. This rail is specifically made for safe and dead straight machine guidance, so you can focus on consistent alignment for better fitting outcomes. If you want repeatable drawer runner results, it is a practical addition to your furniture workshop.
