Yup. Real gentle. Comes close, and the top side doesn't matter at all. Can't say I've ever needed a rail. It'd just get in the way and collect grit, make things hard to wipe clean. Might be useful in production, but I don't know. On a manual?
I'll sometimes put paper under the work to keep it from getting scratched. The magnet doesn't grab as hard, so a rail might be handy as a simple stop, or even as a reference, but there's usually room for a shorter chunk to stick to the magnet that can be dialed in if necessary. There's enough residual to hold it between setups.
You are talking to a hobby guy (me) and all that, ya know..
