Our take on the Festool TSC 55 KEB Plunge Saw 18V (Body Only)

The TSC 55 KEB is Festool's cordless plunge-cut saw, running on one or two 18V batteries with a thin 1.8mm kerf blade. With two batteries and the brushless EC-TEC motor it cuts about twice as fast as earlier cordless models and approaches mains-powered performance. A kickback stop halts the blade almost instantly during plunge cuts, and the saw bevels from -1° to 47° with the cut line staying constant at any angle. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet makers and remodelers who want cordless freedom with clean, near-dust-free cuts; the body-only format assumes you already own Festool 18V batteries.

About the Festool TSC 55 KEB Plunge Saw 18V (Body Only)

The Festool TSC 55 KEB is a cordless plunge saw that runs on one or two 18V batteries. It uses a 1.8mm kerf blade. With two batteries and the narrow kerf, it cuts at up to twice the speed of previous models. A brushless EC-TEC motor makes it as powerful as a mains-powered machine when used with two batteries.

A kickback stop reduces the risk of kickback when plunge cutting by stopping the blade quickly. A transparent viewing window shows the start and finish of a plunge cut. A detachable splinter guard in front of the blade gives a virtually splinter-free finish on both sides of the work.

Angle adjustment runs from -1 to 47 degrees and allows a slight undercut for butt joints. The cut line stays the same at any cutting angle. The slimline housing allows cuts as close as 12mm. Dust goes into a collection bag, or the saw can connect via Bluetooth® to a suitable extractor. This is a body only tool, supplied without a battery or charger.

Questions and answers

Does the TSC 55 KEB come with batteries?
No. It is a body-only tool supplied without a battery or charger. You need Festool 18V batteries, and two are needed for full performance.
How does it compare with the corded TS 55?
On two 18V batteries Festool rates it as powerful as a mains machine, and it cuts about twice as fast as earlier cordless models. The corded TS 55 never needs charging but ties you to an outlet.
What blade and case are included?

Can it cut close to a wall?
Yes. The slim housing lets you cut as close as 12mm to an edge.
What bevel angles does it cover?
It adjusts from -1° to 47°, and the cut line stays the same at any angle, which helps with butt joints.
Does it work with Festool dust extractors?
Yes. It connects to a suitable extractor, with Bluetooth for remote start, or collects dust in a bag.
