The StealthMounts Universal Track Saw Guide Rail Mount 2-Pack solves the track saw storage problem that plagues every contractor’s shop and van. Compatible with Makita, Festool, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch, Mafell, WEN, Metabo, Kreg, Ryobi, Ridgid, and PowerTec, these injection-molded ABS mounts handle the expensive guide rails that usually end up leaning in corners or rattling around in truck beds. They’re cheaper than brand-specific metal brackets and more durable than the wooden cleats most contractors cobble together.
This kit shines for contractors running multiple track saw systems or switching between brands on different jobs. The low profile design at 0.13 inches depth means rails sit flush against van walls without eating into cargo space — critical when every inch counts in a work vehicle crossing Montana’s vast distances.
Build Quality and Mounting Versatility
High-quality injection-molded ABS plastic made in Great Britain delivers the durability contractors need without the weight penalty of metal brackets. The material choice matters. Flexible and impact-resistant, these mounts handle the abuse of daily loading and unloading without cracking in Montana’s temperature swings.
Countersunk screw holes for flush mounting keep the profile clean and prevent snagging when sliding rails in and out. Each mount measures 3.74 inches long by 0.98 inches high — compact enough to fit anywhere but substantial enough to support heavy aluminum guide rails securely.
The real advantage shows in mounting flexibility. Can mount vertically or horizontally to match whatever space constraints you’re dealing with. Workshop walls, van/trailer interiors, garage doors, overhead/ceiling storage — mount them wherever makes sense for your workflow. Contractors working out of vans appreciate the ability to mount rails high on walls, keeping floor space clear for other gear.
Performance Against Alternatives
| Alternative Method | StealthMounts Advantage |
|---|---|
| DIY wooden cleats | Won’t splinter or wear; pre-drilled holes speed installation |
| Brand-specific metal brackets | Universal compatibility; lower cost |
| Magnetic strips | Works with aluminum rails that magnets can’t hold |
| Floor storage | Protects rails from bending and damage |
Lower cost than many custom metal solutions while delivering universal compatibility (one mount fits multiple brands unlike brand-specific holders). The injection-molded construction outlasts wood which can splinter or wear over time, especially in the freeze-thaw cycles common to Montana jobsites.
Installation and Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Material | Injection-molded ABS plastic |
| Origin | Great Britain |
| Length | 3.74 in (95 mm) |
| Height | 0.98 in (25 mm) |
| Depth | 0.13 in (3.3 mm) |
| Color | Black |

Installation couldn’t be simpler. Standard wood or drywall screws (not included); countersunk holes accommodate #8 size screws for a flush fit. No special tools, no complicated brackets — just mark your spots and drive screws. Ensure surfaces are flat; space mounts appropriately for the length of your specific guide rail.
The lack of included hardware gets mentioned in reviews but isn’t a real drawback. Every contractor has a bucket of screws, and using your own means matching the fastener to your specific mounting surface — drywall anchors for shop walls, self-tappers for van interiors, wood screws for studs.
The Bottom Line
StealthMounts delivers what contractors actually need: universal compatibility, bomber construction, and versatile mounting options. The primary strengths highlighted include its ease of mounting to various surfaces with just two screws and protection for expensive guide rails that take a beating on jobsites.
The British manufacturing shows in the details — proper countersinking, consistent molding, and material that handles temperature extremes without getting brittle. For contractors covering Montana’s sprawling geography with multiple track saw systems rattling around in their rigs, these mounts turn chaos into organization. Not revolutionary. Just well-executed problem-solving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these mounts work with my specific track saw brand?
Compatible with Makita, Festool, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch, Mafell, WEN, Metabo, Kreg, Ryobi, Ridgid, and PowerTec. The universal design handles most standard track saw guide rail profiles on the market.
Q: How much weight can each mount support?
Holds 2 guide rails per 2-pack (1 rail per mount recommended for stability). The injection-molded ABS construction provides ample strength for standard aluminum guide rails.
Q: Can I mount these in my work van?
Absolutely. Van or trailer interior mounting for mobile work is one of the primary applications. The low-profile design and flexible mounting orientation make them ideal for maximizing cargo space.
Q: Do the mounts come with mounting screws?
No. Standard wood or drywall screws (not included); countersunk holes accommodate #8 size screws. This lets you choose appropriate fasteners for your specific mounting surface.
Q: What’s the actual depth when mounted?
0.13 inches (3.3 mm) — barely thicker than a nickel. Rails sit nearly flush against the mounting surface.
