The Festool TS 55 F is a plunge-cut track saw built for clean, accurate cuts in sheet goods and trim. This kit pairs the saw with a 55-inch guide rail and the guide rail accessory kit, so you can clamp, square, join rails and cut right away. Its splinter strip and clip-on splinter guard back up the cut on both sides of the blade, which suits veneered plywood and prefinished panels. Against cheaper track saws it stands out for cut quality and the rail system, but it is a premium tool aimed at people who cut sheet goods often.

Owners of the TS 55 line praise the cut quality and the rail system, especially on veneered and prefinished panels. Many say the plunge action and splinter guard make clean, repeatable cuts. The main complaints are the cost and the bulk compared with a standard circular saw.
This kit pairs the Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus corded plunge cut track saw with a 55-inch FS 1400 guide rail and a guide rail accessory kit. It cuts straight, splinter-free lines in sheet goods, doors, countertops and flooring. The saw, rail and accessories come in two Systainer3 cases.
The 1,200 W motor runs from 2,000 to 5,800 RPM, so the speed can be lowered for plastics and laminates. The 160 mm blade cuts up to 2-3/16" (55 mm) deep at 90 degrees and 1-11/16" (43 mm) at 45 degrees. A 42-tooth fine-cut blade is included. The bevel range is -1 to 47 degrees with positive stops at 0 and 45. The cutting edge stays on the splinter guard line through the whole range, and the -1 degree setting gives a slight undercut for scribing panels to a wall.
The rail's splinter strip and the saw's clip-on splinter guard support the cut on both sides of the blade. Non-slip strips on the underside hold the rail in place on most sheet goods. A spring-loaded riving knife retracts during the plunge and follows the blade to keep the kerf from closing. A transparent sight window with start and stop marks shows where the blade enters and exits. FastFix allows blade changes without a spindle lock, and the slim housing cuts within 1/2" (12 mm) of a wall.
