DEWALT TrackSaw High-Friction Strip (DWS5052)

Key Features Holds the Track in Place The DEWALT High-Friction Strip (DWS5052) mounts to the inboard edge of the track and grips the work surface, keeping the rail from creeping mid-cut. Consistent Registration A track that shifts even slightly changes your cut line. This strip keeps the rail registered against the material so repeat cuts stay accurate. Easy Replacement A wear item that swaps in without replacing the whole track once the grip surface wears smooth. Overview This is a replacement high-friction strip for DEWALT's TrackSaw guide rail system (DWS5052), mounted to the underside of the track to keep it from sliding on the work surface during a cut. Unlike the anti-friction strip that helps the saw glide along the top of the track, this high-friction strip works on the underside, gripping the material so the whole rail stays put while you cut. As the grip surface wears down from repeated setup and use, the track can start to creep during a cut, which throws off accuracy on long or repeated rips. Replacing this strip restores that hold without buying a new track. This is a maintenance part for anyone running a DEWALT TrackSaw system regularly and noticing the track shifting during cuts.
