The Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus (model 576708) is a plunge cut track saw for straight, controlled cuts in sheet goods, doors, flooring and trim materials. It is used for plunge cutting, panel breakdown and finish-quality straight cuts. It cuts stock such as hardwood panels, plywood, chipboard and plasterboard up to 2-1/8 inches thick.
A 1,200 watt motor drives a 6-1/4 inch blade. The no-load speed is variable from 2,000 to 5,800 RPM, so blade speed can be matched to the material. The cutting edge stays unchanged from 90 degrees through 47 degrees of bevel. The undercut range runs from -1 degree to 47 degrees, with preset positions at 0 and 45 degrees.
The saw has a plunge action, a spring-loaded riving knife and FastFix blade changes. The riving knife helps reduce blade binding and makes it easier to re-enter existing kerfs or joints. A transparent viewing window and start/end markings help with plunge cut placement. An attachable splinter guard, used with a guide rail, helps produce virtually splinter-free cuts on both sides. The saw works with Festool guide rails, blades and dust extraction. Its slim housing allows cuts as close as 1/2 inch (12 mm) to walls and edges.
