Has anyone used the F-RS Kick Back Stop (202867)? Is this similar to the Festool's Limit Stop (491582)? Any pictures of it attached to the guide rail?

Yeah it's pretty much the same thing. I'll post a picture for you when I get home.

Never used one before. Although I have several for the Festool Guide rails. Its basically for plunge cuts to avoid "kick back"......correct?

Thats a simple device. Looks nicer than the Plastic Festool versions I have.
Thanks for the Photos!

how well do these stay secure?

It obviously depends on how much you tighten them but I feel 100% secure. Even if you don't tighten them all the way, they won't come off unless you really put in some muscle.
For what it's worth, personally I mostly use my stops to bump up to them instead of having to lean over to line my cut up to a mark.

Wow, thanks for the detailed pictures! One more question on this, does the tab extending from the base of the saw fit into the opening on the kick back stop?

By the way, how did you post images in-line like this? I see an insert image option but it's asking to link to a URL...

You can also add attachments directly from your hard drive.

The saw just bumps up against the aluminium stop. There's no interlocking. My phone automatically syncs my pictures to a SkyDrive account. Then I just insert an image and link to said picture on the SkyDrive.

When doing it that way you're limited to three images per post and there's no way to insert text between photos. Plus it only posts a thumbnail, requiring login to view the larger image. I like how Jonathan did it, just didn't know if it required hosting the pictures somewhere or if I was missing another option.
