The Festool TSC 55 KS was developed for professionals who rely on precision, mobility and reliability every single day. This cordless plunge saw combines the performance of a corded machine with the freedom of cordless working. No compromises.

Why this plunge saw immediately stands out

  • Ready to work with just one battery
  • Clean cutting results thanks to 1.6 mm thin-kerf saw blades
  • KickbackStop reduces the risk of dangerous kickback

No unnecessary complexity. Just a saw that delivers exactly what professionals expect.

Lightweight, compact and ready to go

Speed matters on site. Not only while cutting, but also when setting up your workspace.

The TSC 55 KS features a compact and lightweight design, allowing smooth mobility both in the workshop and on location. Its slim construction enables precise cutting close to walls or obstacles without the machine extending beyond the guide rail.

Working with two batteries? One battery remains on the machine while the other charges. This allows virtually uninterrupted operation throughout the entire working day.

Performance that keeps up with your workflow

The brushless EC-TEC motor runs up to 5,200 rpm and is perfectly matched with the power electronics and the 8.0 Ah battery. Combined with specially developed 1.6 mm thin-kerf saw blades, this results in:

  • more efficient energy consumption
  • longer runtime per battery charge
  • fast and clean cutting performance

Exactly what you expect when precision and productivity must go hand in hand.

KickbackStop: safety without slowing down your workflow

Kickback remains one of the biggest risks when working with plunge saws. That’s why the TSC 55 KS is equipped with KickbackStop.

If the saw blade suddenly jams, the machine stops instantly. This not only protects the workpiece but also significantly reduces the risk of hand injuries.

You focus on the job. The saw safeguards your safety.

Precision down to the smallest detail

Festool is known for its cutting system and you can feel it here again.

  • Precise cutting depth adjustment with dual scale and fine adjustment
  • Splinter-free cuts when used with guide rail and splinter guard
  • Minimal wall distance of only 12 mm for edge work
  • Fast blade changes thanks to the FastFix spindle lock

Less finishing work simply means getting the job done faster.

Low-dust and comfortable working

Healthy working conditions are no longer a luxury, they are standard.

The TSC 55 KS can be used with:

  • dust bag for mobile applications
  • Festool dust extractors with Bluetooth® automatic start function

This allows you to work virtually dust-free, even on finished job sites or indoor renovation projects.

Full control via the Festool App

When connected to the Festool App, you gain access to additional machine information such as:

  • battery status
  • motor temperature
  • KickbackStop status
  • software updates

A modern plunge saw that evolves together with the way you work.

Built as part of a complete cutting system

As you expect from Festool, the TSC 55 KS is not a standalone machine but part of a fully integrated system.

With guide rails, saw blades, angle stops, dust extraction and splinter protection, you can build a solution perfectly tailored to your applications, from interior finishing to sheet material processing on site.

What does this mean in practice for professionals?

The TSC 55 KS isn’t about adding features for the sake of innovation.

It’s about working more efficiently:

  • faster setup
  • fewer cables
  • cleaner cuts
  • improved safety
  • less finishing work

Exactly why so many professionals choose Festool.
