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.
