Festool TS Saw Key Features

Festool TS saws deliver panel saw precision in a versatile, portable design. We invented the guide rail over 40 years ago, and have continuously set new and higher standards for precision cutting with our plunge cut saws.

Accuracy and splinter‐free cuts on both sides of the blade

The guide rail and saw splinter guard create a zero clearance cutting surface that you can place directly on the material to be cut. This set‐ up is easier and faster than traditional methods, and results in cuts that are straight and clean. Unlike other saws, this combination of splinter guards creates chip‐free surfaces on both sides of the cut in a single pass, so that you can use the off‐cut side without needing to make a clean‐up cut.

Power and precision in the palm of your hand

With the most power in its class, the TS 75 EQ puts incredible power at your disposal. 1600 watts of power, and a cutting depth of 2 ¾” make this the preferred choice for production runs and thick materials. Weighing in at less than 10 pounds, the TS 55 EQ has enough power to meet all, but the most demanding requirements. It easily cuts 5/4 material or two sheets of ¾” plywood stacked. With more control and the ability to take the tool to the work, your table saw is sure to see less use. Both saws have a variable speed control and MMC electronics for

superior performance in all materials.

Safety

The TS plunge cut saws have a number of safety features that make them superior to traditional circular saws and other plunge type saws. A riving knife helps prevent the back of the blade from creating kickback. Innovative limit stops can be used to keep the saw base from rising during a plunge cut, and can also be used as both beginning and ending stop guides. The pivoting plunge action is more natural and easier to control than the plunge action found on track saws, and the blade remains covered above the cutline when

performing a plunge cut. Up to 96% of saw dust is captured when used with a Festool dust extractor.
