FastFix Blade Changing SystemBlade changes are easier and faster using the FastFix system. When engaged, the power switch and arbor are locked simultaneously. The saw is also locked into a position to facilitate easy arbor bolt removal.
Rotating Dust PortDirect dust away from the saw, user, and the material or connect it to a Festool CT dust extractor for tool-triggered dust capture.
Plunge Cut ActionSimple depth adjustment allows you to expose only the part of the blade necessary for the cut. The plunge action allows cut placement anywhere on the cut line for straight cuts or cut-outs into material.
MMC ElectronicsVariable speed allows you to match the speed of the saw to the material. The electronics also maintain a consistent speed under load, improving cut performance and protecting the saw’s motor from thermal and current overload.
Triple Motor BearingThe triple motor bearing improves the smoothness of cutting action and extends the service life of the tool.
Riving KnifeSpring-loaded riving knife (splitter) retracts into the housing during plunge cuts. The riving knife keeps the cut kerf open so that the material does not pinch the blade. This reduces the chance of kickback, leaving you in control of the operation.
Guide Rail GuidanceWhen used with Festool guide rails, you have ultimate control over the TS saw for perfectly straight cuts. Add the replaceable splinterguard, and a splinter-free cut is achievable on both sides of the blade.
Splinter GuardSplinter-free cutting on both sides of the cut line. Eliminate tear out on both sides of the cut line with the guide rail and replaceable splinter guard. Keeping both sides of the cut line clean means less material waste.
Scribe Line = Cut LineThe TS 55 makes the actual cut right on the edge of the scribe line, even on bevel cuts.
