The Festool TSC 55 KSEB is an 18 V cordless plunge-cut track saw for processing sheet goods, plastics, and solid lumber. It has a brushless EC-TEC motor and runs on a single battery. It is designed to be used with Festool guide rails.
The saw uses a 1/16" (1.6 mm) thin-kerf blade. The slimmer motor housing stays within the guide rail width, so it is less likely to catch on clamps or material edges. A sensor-based KickbackStop halts the blade to reduce kickback and resets quickly so work can continue.
Bevel settings run from -1° to 47°. A FastFix spindle lock speeds up blade changes, and a transparent window shows the blade while cutting. The redesigned dust bag is easier to empty and works with a lockable articulating dust port. The saw is recommended with the TBX 8 Tabless Battery and is also compatible with 5.0 Ah battery packs.
