Key Features
Overview
The DeWalt DWS5026 TrackSaw Track Clamps, 2-Pack is a guide rail accessory for DEWALT TrackSaw systems. This is a track saw clamp set designed for securing a guide rail during precision cutting. Model Number: DWS5026. If you are cutting sheet goods, finished panels, or material where rail movement can ruin the cut, these clamps are the simple fix that keeps the setup steady.
What matters here is not complexity, it is consistency. The DWS5026 clamps are made for use with the TrackSaw cutting system and give you one-handed operation for fast setup. On the job, that means less time messing with your workholding and more time cutting. When you are setting a rail on plywood, melamine, or trim stock, quick clamping helps you keep the rail where you want it without slowing down the workflow.
DEWALT built these as purpose-made TrackSaw clamps rather than generic shop clamps, which is the whole point. They are shaped to work with the system, and that makes them a better choice for rail-guided cutting than trying to adapt a standard clamp that may interfere with the saw, the work surface, or the edge of the material. The listed max opening of 8.5 inches and 7.0 inch throat depth give them enough reach for common track saw setups and bench work.
The construction is listed as plastic and metal, which is a practical mix for this kind of accessory. You get the strength and structure needed for clamping, with a form factor that stays easy to handle and quick to reposition. Since these are one-handed clamps, they make more sense for repeated cuts than slower screw-style options when you are moving from panel to panel.
Compatibility is straightforward. These clamps fit the DEWALT TrackSaw system, and supplementary product data also calls out use with DEWALT corded and cordless TrackSaws sold separately. That makes them a smart add-on if you already own the rail system and want more secure hold-downs for accurate, splinter-free cutting performance from the track saw setup.
Who should buy them? Cabinet installers, trim carpenters, remodelers, shop users, and serious DIYers who use a DEWALT track saw and want a more locked-in rail. If you mostly make quick rough cuts, you may not need dedicated rail clamps every time. But if you care about clean edges, repeatable straight cuts, and keeping the guide rail from creeping on smooth material, these are the right accessory to keep with the saw.
Clamp the Rail Faster
When you are working with large panels or finished material, setup time adds up fast. These clamps let you secure the rail with one hand, which is exactly what you want when the other hand is steadying the track or the panel.
- One-handed operation for faster setup
- Built for the DEWALT TrackSaw cutting system
Hold Both Ends of the Track
A two-pack matters because track saw users usually want support at both ends of the rail, especially on long cuts or slick sheet goods. That gives you a more stable setup and less chance of the guide shifting while cutting.
- Includes 2 clamps
- Better for long rails and large sheet material
Purpose-Built for Rail Work
This is not a generic clamp tossed into the listing. It is a dedicated TrackSaw accessory made to work with the rail system, which is why it makes more sense for precision cutting than improvising with standard clamps.
- Listed max opening: 8.5 inches
- Listed throat depth: 7.0 inches

Pro Tip
Use both clamps when cutting long or slick panels. One clamp will hold the rail, but two give you a more stable setup and help keep the guide from creeping when you are moving the saw through a full-length cut.
