Festool Plunge Depth Position Indicator Gauge FS-EP for TS 60 Track Saw (578696)

The Festool Depth Position Indicator FS-EP for TS 60 (578696) is a guide rail accessory built for anyone making plunge cuts with a Festool track saw. This is a depth position indicator designed for precise, repeatable plunge cuts and cut-outs on the TS 60 K track saw. Rather than guessing where the blade will actually enter and exit the material, you get a clear, physical mark for both points before you ever pull the trigger.

The FS-EP works as both a front and rear stop on the guide rail, so once it's positioned and calibrated to your line, every plunge cut lands in the same spot. That matters most on cuts where a slip means starting over — sink cutouts in a finished countertop, panel cutouts in a cabinet side, or any cut-out where the material around it has to look clean. It also has a built-in cutting width indicator, which tells you exactly how much material falls to the right of the blade so you can lay out narrow strips without spacers or a throwaway test cut.

Setup is tool-free. The indicator drops down into the guide rail groove from above and locks into position, then you align it to your marked line. Because the scale is adjustable, you can fine-tune the calibration for your specific saw, your guide rail, and even a blade that's been resharpened — resharpening removes material and shifts the effective kerf position, so being able to recalibrate keeps the indicator accurate over the life of the blade.

The design is symmetrical, meaning it mounts on either side of the guide rail. That's a real advantage when you're cutting close to a wall or in a tight corner where a fixed, one-sided accessory wouldn't fit or wouldn't give you a clear line of sight to your mark.

The Festool Depth Position Indicator FS-EP is built specifically for the TS 60 K track saw and is intended for use with Festool's FS/2 guide rail system, including the 32-in FS 800, 42-in FS 1080, 55-in FS 1400, and 75-in FS 1900 rails.

This is the right accessory for cabinet installers, countertop fabricators, and finish carpenters who regularly cut sink openings, appliance cutouts, or panel notches and need those cuts to be accurate the first time. If your plunge cuts are mostly straight-through crosscuts where a little wander doesn't matter, you likely won't miss it — but for precision cutout work, it removes the guesswork entirely.

The Festool Depth Position Indicator FS-EP Takes the Guesswork Out of Plunge Cuts
