Product Description

72435 Splinter Guard Strip: A Fresh Edge for Cleaner Cuts
A worn splinter guard is where tear-out creeps back into your work. The POWERTEC 72435 Splinter Guard Replacement Strip restores a crisp reference edge with a dual-material design that helps press down wood fibers ahead of the blade for cleaner, more consistent cuts with your track saw or guide rail system.
At 118 inches, this self-adhesive strip is a practical replacement for compatible guide rail channels. It's a smart way to keep cutting plywood, veneer, melamine, MDF, and laminate cleanly, without paying to replace the entire guide rail.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual-Material Splinter Guard
- Rigid yellow edge firmly presses down wood fibers ahead of the blade, helping prevent fiber lifting and significantly reducing tear-out.
- Soft black backing grips the workpiece to help keep the guide rail stable through the cut.
Cleaner, Splinter-Free Cut Edges
- Zero-clearance reference edge shows exactly where the blade will cut, so your cut line stays precise.
- Smooth, consistent results on plywood, veneer, melamine, and other sheet goods.
Check Your Guide Rail Fit
- 118" long, 29/32" (23mm) wide, and 3/32" thick, sized for compatible track saw guide rail channels.
- Measure your existing strip and check your rail before ordering to confirm a proper fit.
Self-Adhesive, No-Glue Installation
- Integrated adhesive backing means no separate glue to buy or mix.
- Quick to install: peel away the worn strip, prepare the rail surface, and press the new one into place.
Easy to Replace When Worn
- Splinter guards are wear items that fray over time, and a fresh strip restores a sharp reference edge.
- Affordable upkeep keeps your rail cutting accurately for longer.
