Festool TSC 55 KS 18V Cordless Plunge Cut Circular Saw

The Festool TSC 55 KS is an 18V cordless plunge cut circular saw designed for professional tradespeople who demand precision, power, and freedom of movement on site. Fitted with a 160mm blade and a brushless EC-TEC motor running at up to 5,200 rpm, it delivers clean, accurate cuts in materials up to 55mm thick — all without the restriction of a power cable. Combining cordless convenience with Festool's decades of plunge saw expertise, the TSC 55 KS is particularly well suited to carpenters and joiners working on kitchen worktop installations, interior door trimming, parquet flooring repairs, and shadow gap work. Paired with a compatible guide rail, it produces repeatable, splinter-free results that require little or no rework. For maximum run time and performance, Festool recommends pairing it with the 8.0 Ah Li-HighPower battery pack, though it is also compatible with the 5.0 Ah Li-HighPower battery pack. Safety is a key consideration on this saw. The sensor-based KickbackStop actively monitors for kickback during cutting and plunge entry, reducing the risk of injury in demanding or awkward cutting situations. The mitre angle range of -1° to 47° allows for precise, repeatable angled cuts, while the FastFix spindle stop makes blade changes straightforward on site. A transparent sliding viewing window keeps the blade line clearly visible throughout the cut.
