Festool, a renowned leader in crafting highly efficient and precise cordless cutting tools, has once again raised the bar with its new 18V TSC 55 K cordless track saw. This innovative addition not only maintains the company’s reputation for excellence but also introduces several groundbreaking features that enhance both safety and performance.
Kickback Stop: A Game-Changing Safety Feature
At the heart of the Festool TSC 55 K Cordless Track Saw lies its standout feature: the revolutionary Kickback Stop application. Kickback has long been the leading cause of severe injuries when operating track saws. Recognizing this, Festool has integrated an advanced kickback stop mechanism to safeguard users, their tools, and workpieces.
The TSC 55 K is equipped with a wedge at its base that can detect when the saw lifts off the guide rail. In the event of kickback, the saw instantly shuts off, ensuring that the operator remains in control and minimizing the risk of injury. This feature not only enhances safety but also allows for more powerful and precise cuts, up to twice as fast as before, without the fear of damaging the workpiece. Importantly, the kickback stop can be manually deactivated when not required and will automatically reactivate upon restarting the saw.
Unmatched Power and Control
Beyond its enhanced safety features, the Festool TSC 55 K Track Saw continues to push the boundaries of performance. The concentrated torque of this saw enables users to work twice as fast while maintaining exceptional cutting quality. A transparent sliding viewing window provides a clear view of the blade, ensuring precise and accurate cuts every time.
To complement the saw’s impressive capabilities, Festool has introduced a new line of thin saw blades. These blades are designed to deliver faster cutting speeds and extend battery life by 50%, allowing for more cuts per charge. The enhanced tooth geometry of these blades not only prolongs blade life by up to 40% but also ensures consistent cut quality. With these new blades, the TSC 55 K can effortlessly cut through a variety of materials, including hard and soft woods, laminates, aluminum, plastics, and abrasive materials.
Unparalleled Efficiency and Run Time
The Festool TSC 55 K Track Saw is equipped with a long-lasting lithium-ion battery and a brushless EC-TEC motor, ensuring unmatched efficiency and run time. This combination of advanced technology and robust design makes the TSC 55 K a reliable and efficient tool for a wide range of cutting applications.
